please offer any ideas

I put a longer post on your other thread covering some of the issues so I'll keep it short and simple. The best thing you can do is shut the whole thing down and forget about it.

A quick look at your site and I think it's easier to say what you've got right. Here's a few of my favourites.

 

Half the site doesn't work. This doesn't inspire confidence in the site or the admin running it 

 

Fees. Charging a listing fee, taking a percentage of the total and also charging a payment processing fee is quite frankly taking the piss and sounds like you're just trying to screw users out of as much money as possible.

 

Ukara. Calling a defence "ukara membership" is wrong as only shops  can be members of ukara (you know, with it being a retailers association). Players have site membership which may or may not be put on the ukara database. Second, why do sellers need to be on the ukara database?

 

Tbh I'm not expecting the op to take any of this onboard but the whole thing looks at best like a 6th form IT project and at worst a straight up scam

 

Oh and another massive red flag is the company address in the privacy policy section

 

 

Were you anything to do with the airsoft exchange Ltd which was dissolved in 2018?

My god it’s even worse than I thought. 
 

What on gods green earth is that address and phone number all about? 
 

Absolutely piss poor on all fronts.

Omg haha didnt even see this address. 

 

More red flags about this website then there is in a factory that makes red flags. 

 

I think whats worse is this dude isnt even going to bother to reply to any of us, considering users like all of us are the majority of his market, they haven't started off well so far.

Posting it to Facebook now too, yet hasn’t commented on either of his posts here to try to clear up any confusion etc. Grade A clown looking to just take advantage of people by taking a large chunk of their money and marketing it as a convenience for them 🙄

Just one more UK airsoft website, trust me it will work this time for sure!

I've merged the two identical topics the op posted, airsoft related businesses get ONE opportunity to make a post announcing their existence etc, not two.

 Dont expect him to reply anytime soon,  the op currently has had his ability to post restricted, subject to him removing the afuk link on his website.

If he wants to promote his new business any further here, he'll need to purchase advertising space like everyone else.

Something new has appeared on the site. A classifieds section. £5 per listing lol it just gets better and better hahahaha

That explains why I got notifications for posts I could've sworn were in different threads but appearing in one together. I thought I was going senile for a moment.

 

@Austeyr has it gone down there as well as it did here?
