due to recent events - selling old accounts

mikhomikho AdministratorHosting ProviderOG

Just a quick notice to all people who are creating accounts with me and then selling the services they have ordered.

Unless there is a written agreement, this kind of behavior is not accepted and the buyer, when found, will have their services canceled/suspended/terminated.

I just found out that some poor soul bought services for $15 when the value of the service was $9.
If you have a problem ordering, talk to me. I'm sure we can find the reason why your order was declined.

End of message.

    @mikho I deal with that shit daily, and they still try rather than following the rules set-out for such a thing. It's always the cheapest plans, innit?

    In this case the poor bastard paid $15 instead of $9.

    His loss,

    Yep. It's always someone scheming. I saw a lot of BF specials magically being sold on LET last year. I don't know if I'm to blame for that or not. I just had an excess and wanted to raise money for a couple nonprofits.

  • I thought this happens all the time with lowend accounts.

    People resell, always, regardless whatever ToS says.

  • I can bet WSS' sanity that they don't care.

    I got the whole thing locked down so one can’t even change email address. Just to prevent this.

    How did you find out about the $15?

    Same here, email field not changeable.
    I was asked to update it in December and now again.

    I asked and the customer answered. ??‍♂️

  • Huh, how does the one even end up buying a $9 service from a John Doe for $15? I'd always do some searching and research, and I wouldn't buy web services from random nicks in a forum ... confused ...

    When we first started the $15/year plans all those years ago there was a full on grey market for it. We would see people buy 10 - 15 in a go then do transfers to others. Later find out they were taking a 30% - 100% markup on every service.

  • Chinese, even on my free service. Even after marking virtually every order as fraud and not giving in to DDoS threats they are now emailing saying that they will give me a cut of whatever they make when reselling the accounts..

    Sounds like a sound business plan!

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

    I can somewhat understand that market since they were hard to get.
    Remeber the days where stock were released at a certain time and 2 minutes later, all gone.

    In my case, there is still stock. Only reason I could think of was an knterest of keeping their details private.

  • I think they are enjoying making deals. Even those deals are tiny and losing money.
    When I was a kid and playing MMORPG games. One of my favourite is buying and selling weapons and crystals. I can earn much more money if I spend those time on finish missions.
