This is not a good site to sell items. Auction Watch totally divorces itself from any problems encountered between buyer and seller. They advise you to seek assistance via the FTC. Now honestly, who is really going to do that!!! E-Bay at least offers some protection to it's customers. If Auction Watch is to stay in business they need to be more accountable to the MEMBERS AND CUSTOMERS!!!

How can potential customers be alerted to the fact that there are vendors who are doing business fraudulently and therefore illegally.

Hello ejsilver2001,
The StoreFront in question has been disabled, therefore, there is no need to warn other users. If you feel you have been defrauded by this seller, we urge you to contact the authorities. We will cooperate fully with any law enforcement agency that contacts us about a fradulent seller.
Regards,
Diana

AuctionWatch should not be in this business or any business. They provide ZERO service to buyers and sellers. AuctionWatch is just a bunch of web designers trying to make a living. AuctionWatch is a prime candidate for investigation under the current efforts by Congress to deal with internet commerce/auction site fraud and abuse. AuctionWatch and every one like it should be shut down.
As a buyer who has lost $420 on AuctionWatch and got no recourse/help from AuctionWatch whatsoever (except REPORT TO THE AUTHORITIES AND WE WILL COOPERATE WITH THEM), I am pushing Texas Attorney General to deal with AuctionWatch. I shall not be denied.

Good for you. I too got burned at an AuctionWatch Storefront. As the details of the investigation that I am involved in unfold, I plan to report on it's progress here. I am especially interested in learning how well AutionWatch "cooperates" with the investigator handling my matter.
Good luck to you!!!

I AM A SELLER & A BUYER. I LOVE AUCTIONWATCH. IT IS MY RESPOSIBILITY TO RUN MY BUSINESS IN A MANNER THAT PROTECTS ME AGINEST FRAUD. IT IS ALSO MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A CONSUMER TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY MONEY. AUCTION WATCH IS A TOOL I USE TO SELL MY PRODUCTS AND A TOOL I USE TO FIND PRODUCTS I WISH TO BUY. HOWEVER I DO NOT PAY AUCTIONWATCH TO SAFE GUARD ME FROM THE INTERNET WISE CROOKS OUT THERE. I HAVE TO USE SOME COMMON SENSE AND BE WISE ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY OR PRODUCT I AM WILLING TO RISK ON A BAD DEAL. NEVER SEND MORE MONEY OR MERCHANDISE THEN YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE TO SOMEONE YOU DONT KNOW. ITS THE SAME AS A LOAN TO A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND. YOU MAY NEVER SEE IT OR THE ITEM AGIN. I BELEIVE AUCTIONWATCH IS A WONDERFUL TOOL AND WILL RUN TO THEM IF THEY EVER DECIDE TO GET IN THE AUCTION BIZ.
