Why are Big Companies like Amazon Such greedy Wankers?

[shane888Participant 22]

I’ve been battling away for over 18 months trying to make a living from home online with my own website as an amazon associate.

I started down this path because i have been unwell with a condition called ME/CFS for nearly 20 years and was sick of just surviving on government assistance!

So anyway, long-story-short, i had some success some time ago with one piece of content on my website going viral which resulted in over $10,000 USD in ten days which was amazing and very exciting for myself…

However, its was short lived and i not long after i received an email from amazon to say i had made a mistake and violated the “terms of service” … ( one simple small error) im only human.

So… They closed my account and kept my comissin money and woulnt not allow me to create a new profile for my webiste which ive been working on everyday for over a year and a half… 🙁

now ive juts been battling away and trying to figure stuff since then…

Because they can do it.
They use the “ease” of advertising on their sites to promote your efforts for a profit for themselves. If you are doing their “selling” for them, it’s their products so its their profit.
When ToS changes every 14 days, its easy to f~~~ over your users/associates.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

I wish Amazon would figure out a way to lower the shipping costs for their products. It seems to me that huge company like this should be able to strike a deal with UPS or FedEx.

Sounds like a marriage contract. You slave away doing the right thing… one slip up and bang, that’s her cue to take it all away from you.

Know when it is your duty to give them zero explanations for your actions.

sounds like you need to lawyer up if you want your $10k

or is it only commission on $10k?

basically — is it worth your while pursuing ?

[shane888Participant 22]

it was over $10,000 is commissions from over $130k in referred sales…

Nah, nothing i can do, i made one small error, and i have accepted it, its been a few months now…

They are very unforgiving though…

Money is like that. Very few who have enough are able to realize it. Wealth inequality probably sounds pretty good when you make so much in a year none of your predictably useless offspring will ever have to work, but it will cause the foundations of society to be ripped up once again. Sooner or later the guillotines will be brought back out and the accumulated stolen wealth will do no good. To do it right it is going to have to be fairly indiscriminate; I am thinking all holders of “too much money”, regardless of standing, will be eliminated, just to be sure “we the people” got them all. The Great Wall Street and Bankster Purge of 20??. Any predictions? Followed closely by all lawyers and politicians not headless being given shovels and a muzzle, next allowed to speak when all power lines are underground and the infrastructure is completely rebuilt. Power to the People. I am hearing John Lennon singing this one. Right on as we used to say.

Thank-you Shane888, After hearing your story I’ll avoid Amazon in it’s entirety.

may I retort,,,

Hey Amazon, strike 1 and a man like Shane888 is out in the cold? who gets the $$$? You? What, you need the newest in luxury autos? Bigger mansion? More servants?

May an unregistered, uninsured, truck being driven by an illegal immigrant T-BONE you on your way to spending the loot you swindled from Shane888, the kind of T-BONE collision the spills the contents of your skull cavity on the passenger’s seat and floor.

And I’m NOT selling or buying from such a ruthless batch of business bastards like yourselves!

Exactly and that is why employers, particularly if you work in sales, are assholes. They hold all the cards and it is about them not you.

Keep fighting squire well done for trying but making money online now is virtually impossible.
Late 1990s you could make a lot of money but too many now.

Big companies are greedy because they are powerful. They get to follow their own rules and break the law because of how much money they generate. Apple owed nearly 20 billion in taxes to european countries and basically was refusing to pay it until they found a loophole to pay less.

When the collapse happened in 08 banks were the first people to get bailed out even though they were the ones who were f~~~ing up. A multi millionaire or a billionaire can get away with murder. This is the nature of a capitalist society.

With that being said keep fighting, take your story to local newspapers, do whatever you can to at least get most of that money.

[shane888Participant 22]

Yes, well i was at least going to tell my story to some newspapers a lot fo people are probably interested in how you can make this kind of money, i could still be doing it if i had an active account, but i decided to pursue it from a different angle and do a course teaching all the 1000’s of other people amazon f~~~ over simply for a small error or even just case the live in the wrong state also…

The question is did they know of your error before hand or did they go looking for one after you made the money ?

Peace is > piece.
