Instant downloads, cheap items, copy scripts?

While I was surfing in the internet I have come across to this site, Tradebit Inc. This is a site which offers instant downloads. Curious as I was, I have tried buying some of the items offered in the site. I have downloaded some music files. They have almost everything. They too have some scripts and to a new webmaster like me, I found it interesting but one thing I've noticed is that most of the scripts offered there was in REAL CHEAP Prices making me think they are copies? I have tried buying one and was not very happy with it. Damaged file. I tried asking for refund but Tradebit did not mind to answer my query and the guy where the script came from just promised me for support but it was already a month ago. I felt like I was robbed. What a very disappointing experience. So I stop going to that site anymore.. waste of money. Big gamble. I'd rather go to "regular-priced" item than to risk a few dollars. Lessons learned. Any opinion? Or any experiences from this site or any site of the same kind?

That's too bad. Maybe what was needed was some research into this company's reputation before buying. From what I gather, Tradebit is a publishing company that allows anybody to sell downloads, so maybe with such a mass of people out there selling, you can't really get a grip on the reputation of any of them. It doesn't sound like Tradebit does any research on anyone who wants to sell either. xoxo Cyne

Thanks for your response. I believe so too but at least they should approve any items sold in their site to protect their names too. They should at least give support to the buyers too and not just ignore their support tickets. And buyers must at least contact first the seller before paying for any item sold. I was an impulse buyer too but after this experience I am more careful.

Yes you're right. You would think they wouldn't want their name connected with scuzzy people xoxo Cyne
