Dear Gayle; When something is posted on a website... "not even in small print"... clearly outlining the policy for refunds, is it necessary to make a big deal about it when trying to convince you to use that service? Do you get mad when you see something in a newspaper ad for 10 dollars & when you get there you are charged $10.70 because of GST? Do you yell at the man who placed the ad that he did not tell you that? Well I guess this is why McDonalds has to put "warning... coffee hot" on their coffee mugs. It's because of people like you isn't it? Did you ever take into consideration that you might have been asking too much for what you were selling & that is why you did not get any calls? Did you ever consider how much it would have cost you if you instead put your ad with another venue for 3 months? Did you ever take into consideration that "Cold Lake" is a bit far to travel for some people who may otherwise be interested in what you are selling? I will tell you this. If this company had no one answering the telephone... they would have no employees, & I doubt they would have anyone placing ads on their website. They would also not need to post anything on that website as to how to get a refund, as who would complain anyway? How could they? Possibly you should spend a lot more money using another venue to sell what you are trying to sell & then report back here telling us all how much you spent selling it & whether you had to lower your price or not. Then we would know the whole story. While you were at that... if you could find out what cream that woman used to treat the burns from the coffee she spilled on herself. I am sure we all would like to know that too. Possibly McDonalds should post the name of that cream on the bottom of their coffee cups too. Oh & before they serve you the coffee... they should read a disclaimer too! Or perhaps you should take that upon yourself to investigate & be glad that you might not need to be told that coffee is hot.
