		<description>I am the author of the book New Wilderness.  I have two issues with ebookad that the company seems to have no interest in resolving.

1.  I am owed money from a cash out dated June 6, 2005

2.  My book, New Wilderness, is listed on the site by a publisher that has no right to sell, market or represent my work.

I have called and emailed repeatedly, and receive no response.  I see no effort on ebookad.com&#039;s part to look after me as a customer, and from other things I&#039;ve now seen on the net, I have no choice but to view ebookad as a fraudulent entity.

		<description>I still have not received payment from ebookad.  It&#039;s now July.  I&#039;m down to being the 3rd best seller on the site, I would assume that is mostly because I can no longer afford to advertise.

Needless to say, I am more than disappointed.  A letter, an explanation, a returned phone call - anything would be better than this complete silence.  

They owe me over $400.

		<description>Having read all the comments I do not know what to believe anymore. Suffice to say that I do not see how anyone can ever trust these people again. The tragedy is that their site was good and very efficient and we need this sort of operation to get ebooks off the ground so that we get ever increasing sales.

Why do they never reply to emails? This attitude hardly does them any credit. As I mentioned before, if theywere really concerned about their authors and publishers surely they would acknowledge complaints?

------------------------

On another tack, I think that what the industry needs is an A5size electronic book reader capable of all formats at a reasonable cost, that is to say, one a little bigger than EBookman from Franklin (which I am never without). Does anyone have any views on this?

		<description>We too have removed our books from the site while we wait for our payment - requested on January 31st. - It&#039;s now June 9th and we are currently owed over $250 - quite a lot for a small business.

Is there anything esle we can do to help get ebookad back on track?

By the way - even though my titles were removed from the system one was still sold afterwards...??

Will be checking back for any updates.

		<description>Thanks for the info, Melysha. I&#039;ve emailed eBookAd CEO Dustin Revin and requested an explanation. Meanwhile I&#039;d suggest laying off on the 20 emails a day. That could cause Dustin to treat your stuff as spam. Best thing is to do what you&#039;ve done--complain in public, if you&#039;re not getting a private reply. Keep me posted. If I don&#039;t hear in a few days from Dustin, I&#039;ll call him. Jog me! So far yours is the only new complaint I know about. Before reaching conclusions, I want to hear both sides. Thanks again.

		<description>I just sent an email to this effect, but didn&#039;t realize I could post here immediately:

I wrote the BreakUp Workbook - which as you can tell - is the # 1 seller on the site.  I have not received payment at all - and I have been cashing out since February.  I made a phone call to the company on Memorial Day and actually spoke to a real person, who assured me that they were having issues with fraud.  He said that my account was fine and that he would send the check &quot;that very day&quot; including interest.  

I&#039;ve left messages.  I&#039;ve emailed.  I&#039;ve gotten to the point where I am sending over 20 emails a day just because I&#039;m so annoyed.  I haven&#039;t had time to take my book off the site.  I think it&#039;s utterly ridiculous.  The only reason I joined the site was due to a recommendation from another e-book author.  By the way, David Moody - author of the Autumn Series received his money via Pay Pal over a month ago.  I am STILL waiting.  

I don&#039;t want to destroy the company either, but there comes a point where when someone lies directly to you, one begins to wonder if this is &quot;business as usual&quot; or if it&#039;s just a fluke - as they claim it to be.  In any case, they owe me a lot of money and I use that money to advertise my site, so now I&#039;m not profiting as well as I could be.
