Rather, it is an email to promote "WorkatHomeRecruiters.com". Now, their initial web page might seem sincere, but it isn't. First off, they will ask you for your NAME, PHONE NUMBER, ZIPCODE, AND EMAIL. After inputting the information requested from you, another page will appear. (TIP: This web page is used to collect your personal information. The only job that will be offered is Auction Listings. Try it out for yourself. When prompted input this information: The (first name), Truth (last name), 000-123-4567 (phone number), doublecross@anywhere.com (email).
The next web page will use a scare tactic (example: Only 3 more positions left). This tactic is commonly used to cause panic and create a need for something, they hope you will buy. Now, this second web page will be promoting the Auction Listing Program. This program is very similar to the processing rebates program. The difference is you will be listing items from wholesalers onto your Ebay account. You, will be promoting these companies exclusively through Ebay. From the listings, Auction Listing states you will make $13.00 per listing. Example shown below:
The hype starts at seeing how much money could be made. If you list 25 @ $13 a piece you'd pull in a hefty $325. Auction Listing elaborates in details all the benefits you could receive as a lister. What they don't tell you is your out-of-pocket expenses, how you'd be making that $13.
Lets break it down. When your listing a product on ebay, you the seller will be paying for the "listing and incursion fees". The fees combined equals to $6.00. You list 25 products from any wholesaler. 25 products x $6.00 for ebay fee's = $15.00 listing fees. Your thinking, that's not a big amount, right?! Now, factor in the percentage Ebay makes per sale and the fee's Paypal debits from your account (Note: Ebay deals exclusively with Paypal or their approved payment processor). After, completing these steps, take a look at how your getting your $13.00.
The company pays you when your customers clicks on the products link. From, the retail price you will be given your $13.00. Now, if it was as simple as they claim, you'd be making some Moolah! Here's a little information you probably won't receive. Some of your buyers offer you an amount and asks you to end the auction. Example: You list a 10.1 Aspire Netbook for $437.00. Your buyer offers $1500 but refuses to click on the product link. How are you going to get PAID?!
Well, here's 3 options:
1. Buy the product yourself and ship it to them.
2. Insist on having them click on the link and pray that they will.
3. Have them buy from the website Auction Listing provide you with.
The biggest problem you'd run into is your buyers won't end up paying you the money. To recap, you've just spent $15.00 on listing fees, a percentage of the sale goes to Ebay and Paypal, you paid for S&H (about $48.00), and the buyer doesn't pay you the $437.00. On estimation, you lost an investment of $500.00, not including the percentage fees you still owe.
With the figures and examples given, you still might insist that you could make money. Well, the decision is your choice. Hopefully, this small tidbits will help you consider if this program is worth it. Hey, it's $97.00 of your own money, plus all the other costs included.
I just joined workathomerecruiters.com on Monday. I called today to get my money back because after thinking about it a lot, I didn't want to risk it. She talked me into giving it a try and so they still have my $97. I am REALLY wanting to work from home as I am recently a new mom and I rarely get to see my husband, with him in the military and working full-time and me working part-time an opposite shift (which I have to right now). What is it that you are doing? Should I call back and get all my money back? Any advice or info would be appreciated. I'm getting desperate...which is why I joined the previously mentioned company :)
