Tooltimes, thanks and beleive me I have no illusions that this is not going to take a while and lots of work, but I am in it for the long haul, I used to trade on the big site, but got taken three times in one month for about $3000.00 not much but enough to hurt, found that when I finally got a email response that it form mail never anything else, never managed to collect on their insurance(yeah right didn't do everything according to the timed responses required) so went into the forums, asked a simple question of what other members do when this happens, and boy did I get a response, within twenty minutes removed my posts and banned me from the site, meanwhile the clowns that took me are continuing to trade, something wrong with this picture. So took out my frustations on the keyboard and perhaps got a little carried away. Anyways thanks again. Frank

Well I see the "ugly" Frog is doing his job, that is a least you noticed him. As to doing this before no, I have been working on this site for about 22 months, has been online for most of that time for testing, but have never been here before, but functionally the site is totally finished, just a lot of Html and cleanup work left. Also been submitting to the search engines Google search for American Online Auctions : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=american+online+auction&btnG=Google+Search 5th same with Canada online auctions
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=canada+online+auctions&btnG=Google+Search Actually getting a lot of hits but its hard to convince sellers they are not wasting their time, but as I said earlier I am in this for the long haul. http://www.u-1.ca Frank

Toollady:
Valid Question, we are going to investigate
thoroughly both sides of a complaint, we would have to be sure that the complaint is valid. But after many experiences with problems from other site, I know that it is very easy to establish the truth. We are very upfront with regard to the fact that the internet and auctions in particular are
a easy source for thieves and con-artists
see our fraud watch here http://www.u-1.ca/fraud.shtml please note that we only ask that you wait 7 days before filing a fraud report so we can get on it immediately and stop other members from being taken http://www.u-1.ca/cgi-bin/bidit/auction.pl?action=report
and it is on the front page and it works not like some of the bigger sites. We also have a multi-level VIM program which we will encourage our member to use http://www.u-1.ca/vimreg.html any other question please ask.
Frank
