Ironic News? We think not! We’re in the middle of our first week and the response from the media has been extremely good. For an example, we had a local piece on KCAL CBS 9 in Los Angeles this week. Alan Mendelson surprised us the day after we launched. You can follow this link to see the clip: http://cbs2.com/video?cid=95 and click on the June 7th video.
Ironically, two days later KCAL 9 did another story on eBay auction fraud. Ironic? We think not. Not that eBay is a fraud-for-all. The good folks at eBay do their best to stop fraud but there’s obviously a lot slipping through the cracks. In the story, a seller is trying to auction off a fake Mickey Mantle autographed #7 baseball. If the ‘winner’ of that eBay auction used ChestNet Transactions to pay for the item, they would have had nothing to worry about. With ChestNet Transactions free buyer payment protection they would have had up to 7 days to authenticate the baseball before the seller runs off with their money. Luckily for the highest bidder, eBay pulled the auction before it was too late. With ChestNet Transactions, we feel luck as nothing to do with “it”.
Where’s Waldo? Every office has their little inside jokes and the good and geeky folks at ChestNet Transactions are no different. We have a lime green cookie jar bear that constantly gets placed in random places in people’s offices. Some days you’ll sit down at your desk and open your desk drawer and there it is, Mr. Freaky Green Bear.
The day Alan came in to interview our fearless leader, David Gantert, was also the day that Mr. Freaky Green Bear was hidden in Dave’s office. Timing is everything! What great timing and a perfect cameo for Mr. Freaky Green Bear. Hint: You’ll see it over Alan’s shoulder during the interview.
More News. One of the other news stories that broke this week was from a writer, Leonard Fischer of Gannett News. I religiously check out the Thursday column “Hot Sites” to see what is new and it was an honor to see we made the cut in our first week. Here’s a blurb of what he had to say:
“If you buy or sell a lot of stuff on sites such as eBay, you want to protect yourself from fraud, including items that never show up in the mail or aren’t quite what you bargained for. This new online payment system can help. It’s free for buyers and inexpensive for sellers.”
Until next time, safe buying and selling everyone!
