Resellerratings.com has recently changed policies and is now extorting merchants into subscribing to their "service". By "service", I mean the luxury of rebutting public comments made about one's business. Unless merchants are willing to pay Resellerratings.com a monthly charge ranging from $29 to $249, inaccurate and slanderous material may appear on their site without the opportunity for a merchant to rebut. Additionally, Google's "Shopping" engine pulls heavily on Resellerratings.com's merchant ratings.
Many other merchants belonging to a fraud prevention group (of which I'm a member) are outraged. We've brought our concerns to the site's owner. His only response has been to somewhat soften the negative connotation he displays for non-paying merchants. He will not, however, allow merchants the opportunity to rebut comments without being extorted.
Further, there is no way to remove your business from his site, and he hides behind the Communications Decency act stating that he's not responsible for content posted on his site.

2011 and they're at it again
AUTHOR: Montclair - (U.S.A.)

Resellerratings.com has, once again, switched back to an extortionist model. Merchants can no longer respond, comment, or even flag reviews for free. That means, you cannot even tell this unscrupulous organization when reviews on their site violate their own Terms of Use!
Suppose your competitor wants to hurt you -- all he has to do is create a login at Resellerratings.com, post a terrible review of you, and you have no recourse unless you succumb to CEO Scott Wainner's extortion and pay them for the right to have inaccurate information removed.
Multiply that by hundreds of phony logins and hundreds of phony reviews. Your business reputation could be damaged immeasurably, if you don't submit to Resellerratings.com's blackmail.
Heck -- I wouldn't put it past Resellerratings.com to generate their own negative reviews simply to further their extortion scheme.
This company switches their model every so often to appease resellers, then switches it back to pay only model, when they think we're not paying attention. Unscrupulous!
If you're going to host a forum where the public can post their opinion for free, then it must be free for all -- including the resellers.
Advertisers above have met our
strict standards for business conduct.
