I have. And so have many of my friends. It is most definitely not a scam. It is a fast-growing and very genuine online marketplace. In fact I remember KCAL-9 featuring them 2 or 3 times already as The Answer to Internet Fraud.
They are perhaps the only true Fraud-Free online marketing website around. They have a simple and ingenious way of protecting both buyer & seller. Apart from this, the best thing I like about the site is that you can post your ads for free, as many as you want.
You don't have to pay *until and unless you sell* ! Not sure how you can beat this : Free plus Fraud-Free!
They are not a scam in fact. The person who said that they are is an idiot and actually has been arrested for cyberfraud before. In fact the reason he has called Alza Transactions a scam is that they had him arrested for attempting to defraud an Alza customer however the system caught him.
sorry dude.
If you do any work for them, you'll find me to be very correct, when I say they are deceptive and fraudulent. It's only a matter of time, before you begin to whole-heartedly agree with me and so many others. YOU'RE not of fault. You're probably trustworthy and expect other companies share your ethics. Unfortunately, they don't hold to the same code of ethics. Actually, they have no code of ethics. Soon you will eventually find that to be true.
Also, just because someone has 100K ads, doesn't mean they're honest. If you can fool so many people at different times, you will reap the benefits of those ads. Your bid may have worked out now.....but eventually, if they ever owe you money...you can kiss that good-by and just try to sue. You can't...and they know it.
They ARE a scam. Your money is safe, alright. It's safe in their safe, which THEY could use any time. Just try to get it into your pay-pal account. You either are part of them, or naïve and expect people would be as honest as you, perhaps.
I haven't used it, but I did read about how the payment process goes. It's not like paypal, it works more like an escrow service: Buyer sends money to Alza Transactions and not directly to the seller. Money is released to the seller once the buyer has received the item. Makes sense to me. People are sending their money to someone, nontheless, and it's good to know they're seemingly legit.
On the contrary.....they were created, in part, to perpetuate on-line fraud. Since being on-line makes it very difficult to collect money owed. A lot of dishonest and deceptive companies can get A ratings. I have NO $$ reason to say my piece and spend time doing it. It's because I was hurt, taken from and never paid. And when I politely reminded them of what they owed, I still never heard back. Sooner or later, you WILL end up regretting your relationship with them. Like a marriage that turns sour before the "real" person was not who you thought you married. Though at the time, you would have went to hell and back for them and completely trusted them. Be very careful with this company. Your best bet would be to find another one.
I agree, there are different opinions coming from people that used and not used this company, but most of the bad ones come from people that just think they are not legitimate based on the fact that they don't offer a telephone support or they can't pick up the items. Different opinions will always be in any domain, because you will never find a thing in this world that will be OK with everybody, even God is questioned so ... that's the human nature, to question everything and be skeptik on everything.
I know what you mean and I talk from the seller's point of view: I sold often on Craigslist, from 2006 I keep selling cameras and accessories on this online marketpalce and i've seen them all, from account theft to paypal and cashiers check scams. I personally don't trust PayPal anymore, not that they are not a good service, but because of the scams that are going on more and more often on Craigslist involving PayPal and cashiers checks. Over the years i saw that these scams target only the small items, items that can be delivered internationally because the "buyers" are "buying" stuff as a present for their daughter in Nigeria, a gift for someone close in another country, etc. So how secure is PayPal when they can use their system to scam others? Why would i use paypal anymore when it was supposed to be the safest service out there and guaranteed by eBay but if i receive 10 questions on a camera listed on craigslist, 6 are scams trying to pay with paypal and steal my item. So of course I want to use a safe service so i can have the guarantee that i actually receive the payment and i will not get scammed. I found out about Alza Transactions recently and i sold 2 camers and 2 lenses so far with their help without the fear of getting scammed, any hassle etc. I am very satisfied with their offers and all that so it's a A+++ from me.
A friend of mine completed a sale 2 weeks ago and I am one of those that advised him not to buy anything from them because I thought they are a big scam, like always he didn't listen and bought his gaming machine because he found an excellent deal, "too good to be true" on craigslist. After he sent the payment to them he told me and I was so mad at him for not listening, but he received the computer 2 days later and I was actually surprised, never expected that. So I guess they are OK, I never used them because I am one of those Old School people that like to exchange the item with cash in person and I would love to see them try to steal my money, that would be some acomplishment from them LOL.
You should cut and run. Too many folks, including me, have been deceived and wronged by them. They had me thinking well of them at first, as well as acknowledging they were a good-sized co. They pulled me in by their interest in my work. Never paid. Never. Just constantly telling me what I am earning and what's in the bank for me. Complete bunk!! As I politely inquired about what they owed me, they never answered me. Completely shut me down....after I did very well for them. Do yourself a big favor.....don't walk away from them....RUN away and don't look back. If you have $$ coming to you, don't hold your breath. Cut your losses and move on.You'll never get paid and you can't take them to court. Just like someone who wines and dines you, then once they win you over, the marriage becomes a nightmare since the person wasn't as what they "advertised" to you.
They ARE a scam, in fact. Not only have I never was arrested or called out on anything illegal, illegitimate, amoral [I'm not "that" person you mentioned] Azra has cheated so many other people in the same way they drew me in. All the people who have issues with AZRA's honesty and sincerety haven't all been arrested for cyberfraud and are idiots. It was not a rep-seller that screwed me, but azra, itself. I have the email trail that proves that, as so many others have. Beware, they will end-up hurting you by fraud, if not before.
