Is the storm over yet?

Hello world! David Bowie here of David Bowie`s House of Auctions. Home of the buy now Auction of his and her watch sets,electronics and ebooks. Hurry! Sale ends tomorrow.

Stormpay? Where are you Stormpay? It seems that the saga with Stormpay continues to grow. This new round of development makes me sad because Stormpay had such great potential. I mean if you were to ask me to rank them three months ago, I would have given them a mark higher than Yahoo! Auctions and right next to ebay!

Stormpay continues to crash and burn and I wonder if they will survive! History tells me that Stormpay will be done by years end. Here is their latest story. Dear Valued StormPay customer,

Effective immediately StormPay Inc. will no longer accept payments for sales made outside of StormPay Auctions. If you are an online seller who wishes to sell your product or service through the StormPay system, your item must be sold using the StormPay Auctions feature. Listing in the StormPay Auctions is FREE of charge unless utilizing our inexpensive upgraded listing options.

Q: Why has StormPay implemented this new policy?

A: StormPay has rendered certain policy changes to insure a safer online experience for both buyers and sellers. This policy change allows StormPay to more closely monitor the products/services sold, insuring that sold items are within StormPay’s acceptable use policies.

Under these new policy guidelines, customers may no longer log into a StormPay account for the purpose of sending money to another online user, or “offsite” website sale. All “spends” and “receives” are and only can be for the specific purchase of a user’s auction listing and successful purchase of.

Subscriptions (recurring billing) is no longer supported by the StormPay system. All current subscriptions have been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We appreciate your business. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Now, you may not know what this means, but a good portion of their business was through subscriptions form members of Stormpay. Well I can tell you as a former member of Stormpay, I made good money selling items on Stormpay until the trouble started. Then, like rats jumping off a sinking ship, all the major players deleted their Stormpay accounts.

Stormpay was left with plenty of sellers and no buyers and the sellers were selling junk! I loved the good old days when I would get two, three emails a week saying, you have money waiting in your Stormpay account! Which makes me wonder, what kind of emails is Stormpay getting these days? Something like, you have jail time waiting in your account!

Is there a revamp process in place? Might be a good idea to rename the site Scampay and use it as a forum to post ongoing scams and run some gumball ads. Any way Stormpay is the reason I decided to run my own buy now products from my own web site with prices below Auction prices. I have tried selling on ebay with no success. Ebay`s market is too saturated. Stormpay, I do wish you the best and I wish that greed would have not been your downfall.

Remember readers, my sale on his and hers watch sets ends tomorrow. All sets comes with a life time warranty! to see these beautifully crafted watches visit David Bowie`s House of Auctions Home of the buy now Auction Site.
