Sports-Trader Site News

Well, after a long long naughty ordeal, the site is finally in decent working order. To make a long story short, the software i initially purchased for the site turned out to be a massive rip off. It cost me thousands, countless hours and countless good customers. It took a long time to get rid of it from my system, and find something that was more stable for software. The bad software was written in a language called “perl”, which apparently is almost obselete and it couldnt handle the site, causing many many problems, in a trickle down effect that chaps my ass still.
At about this same time, i found out that the programmer i had hired and paid to do my work on the escrow and flat rate system, was incapable of doing the task, although we did get the ebay feedback transfer working. When he was relieved of his duties and i found another programmer, he looked at the old software and said ,well, lets just ditch this and go with somethin new……and he found me some GREAT software, written in a language called ” PHP”…..infintely more stable and much much faster. As soon as i parted ways with that old stuff, life got better, and eventually we got to where we stand today.
For 7 months now, i have been paying fees on merchant accounts and payment gateways and all kinds of stuff that hasnt been used yet, so for now, i have canceled those accounts and all payments will be made via paypal or mo/cashier’s check. Sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone. I thought it best for now anyway, until you guys develop trust with my site. I want to apologize to anyone who’s account was lost in the transfer, and i hope you decide to sign up again.
This type of migration will NEVER happen again. The drawing at the 100 user mark is still active, its for a reggie bush auto triple jersey card, #6/9. Register with the site for entry in the drawing.
Lastly, if you are a seller, i want to thank you for listing and i would like to encourage people to list , it costs you nothing. You can transfer you ebay bulklister files to our turbo lister. If you dont care to list, please drop a line and tell me what keeps you from listing on this site.
thanks,
brian
