lots of peeps bank still in this biz. don't universalizable something that didn't work for you. like you I've had negative experiences (thankfully very few and far between), unlike you I persevered and manage to still bank beyond that
really though the negative balance works out to about 1k, whereas my wins from people tryna steal have come quite close. three sites/services, overall out 60k in total, got back 59
on a positive tip, I got paid 10k over a deal just cuz I apparently went above and beyond in facilitating the handover. lol, I did that cuz I wanted the project to succeed beyond me. sure I was happy to take the cash but did it absent any promises cuz it was the right thing to do. it meant something to me. hardly bad business, am delighted to work with that dude to this day cuz honorable people rock
is my offline vanilla biz less shady? not really, overall. although payment processing def easier. I run such a niche biz with an actual following though, through what me and my peeps have built not exactly difficult to walk away from contracts that don't suit our values or needs
but if I was just flailing away generic? yeah can be a dirty biz. nutting to do with me
are potential probs in both easier to avoid due to experience? of course. I don't want drama, just want to run my stuff. sound like OP just wants to do the same, and that's exactly what he did. cut his losses and posted here to warn others
crazy the truth had to come from the site owner's twit account but that's foolishness that could happen in any biz I think
