A couple of days ago, I received an email from people from a new auction platform. I would call it spam because it was unsolicited and I was sent that email via Lelong's Contact Seller feature. Now, I think it is very unscrupulous for a competitor site to come and contact members of a community this way and I do not take too kindly to such actions. I could report them to Lelong except that I would like to give them a second chance.
So this company is touting their marketplace, supposedly Malaysia's NEW Online Classifieds and Auction site. To promote their website, every feature is free on the site. There are no charges at all. Yes, I did check the site out but I did not register because traffic is too low and it is not worth the amount of work setting up my For Sale listings. Ahhh when traffic picks up, I am sure fees will start to creep in. IF they survive that long, that is!
While I understand that they are trying ti build their community, I feel that what they did with contacting me and I am sure many other members via Lelong's Contact Seller function, is a cheap shot. If they want to bring in more traffic, by all means advertise their site and pay for it!
