I see you charge for your services.

Why is that - why not give them for free - tell you what - you give your’s away and I will advertise that for free

Deal?

Or is there a bit of hypocrisy you need to deal with now?

Herb,

Alrighty then, I think you’re a bit in over your head when it comes to reasoning that someone can happen to be in the astronomy business and also enjoy astronomy personally. Please refund my $15.00 via PayPal that I sent on May11th and close my account. I am the second person in Tucson that I have talked to recently who found you to be unreasonable and I tried to deal with you professionally to no avail.

Thanks for sending the terms. I don’t see any of the terms below that apply to my use of the website and hope I can continue using it for personal use. I have a business that is in the astronomy world but I don’t have a resellers license as we are a 100% service business and 0% retail.

I know you’re busy and don’t have time to research every member so I hope my clarification is useful.

Thank you,


Ben

Hello Herb,

Thanks for your help.

I’m not sure I’m following, I use the account to buy and sell personal gear and don’t manufacture or have a business that deals in equipment for sale or resale.

I’m just looking to use the website to see other classified ads and sell a few bits of gear on occasion.

Please let me know if you need any further details.

Thank you,


Ben

I sent payment via PayPal to renew my account ( , Ben ) and it says I still need to renew. I checked my PayPal and it shows that the payment was sent.

Hope you can help me get my account back up.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Herb,

I am the owner of the company, I enjoy the profits of my company which is completely separate and in no way related to nor advertised on Astromart whatsoever. The only reason I am in this situation is because my email includes my professional signature and you are assuming that I am using the website for professional purposes. For the 6 or so years I was a member I never once mentioned my business, the services we provide nor sold non existent products on it. Herb, I provide a service through publicly teaching and sharing as an astronomy educator / entertainer, I do not sell products through my company nor do I advertise my services on your website, ever.

I will give you one more chance to be reasonable, please be a professional and do the right thing, this has already taken up too much of my time and I really would enjoy getting to use the website again.


Ben


Give your services away free - and I will advertise them for your free
