They’re doing it again. They’re re-vamping their TOS and this time, there’s several things that are bad and that are going to make me terminate my usage of them. First, while not enough on it’s own to make most people stop using their service (though pretty shady) is the fact they will be charging not only the base price per item, but ALSO a 5% fee on each item you sell out of YOUR portion of YOUR commission. These quotes are from the NEW TERMS OF SERVICE, NOT THE OLD ONE WHICH IS MUCH MORE FORGIVING.

They are also forcing people to provide tax information such as social security number to automatically deduct taxes from your commissions. Previously, it was your responsibility to report the taxes, but it was only required if you made more then $600 in a year. Anything less then $600 in a year is NOT REQUIRED to be taxed by the Federal Government. Additionally, you’re giving them your social security number! That’s so not kosher.

They also fail to mention (until you read the new agreement fully), are several ways in which they will NOT give you your earned commissions. If more then 180 days go by in which you do not total up to the minimum $25 for a check, you lose it. (They charge you a $25 “administrative fee”). You will effectively end up owing them money:
