Esources.co.uk review scam reviews and smear campaigns

If you have been on the internet for any length of time, you will know that it is becoming more apparent that particular companies are using dirty tactics against their competition, and the tactics being used by esources.co.uk are just about the lowest you can use. Esources.co.uk are purposely creating forums, Reviews, false scam blogs, and more to blatant lie about their competitors.

Most companies would concentrate on pushing their own company, BUT, when like esources.co.uk, your business has a very bad reputation, one would decide to take two forms of action:

1: Repair your reputation by creating better value, and service to your customers.

2: Decide you are going to defraud the very customers who put food on your table.

Unfortunately for their customers, esources.co.uk have decided on the latter. Esources have decided to create multiple false forums, false blogs, and pages, and saturate Google with false positive content about their own websites.

Not only that, and of course that is bad enough, but esources.co.uk have not stopped there. What esources have also decided to do, is slander ALL their competition, by fabricating THOUSANDS, UPON THOUSANDS of negative remarks against many, many companies.

If you dont know the background. Esources used to sponsor most of the forums in the industry, UNTIL many of their customers started placing very many complaints again them, on these same forums.

Esources threatened legal action against the forum owners, and even tried to blackmail them into removing the negative posts.

Of course, the forum owners decided not to be blackmailed, and this is when esources.co.uk decided to try and get their own back.

What esources dicided to do, was hire an Indian marketing company, to systematically created false reviews, false scam complaints, and much more against their competition, with the intention of placing all these false review websites right at the top of Google.

There are many instances of evidence to support this:

Esources WholesaleForum.com Scam

eSources.co.uk Reviews, Review scam, spam, forum, telephone number, complaints and fraudsters?

More recently, esources have been found supply false reviews against another of their competitors: WholesalePages.co.uk. Of course esources.co.uk deny the claims every time.

But the evidence is overwhelming!

esources.co.uk, Wholesaledeals.co.uk

Esources.co.uk, wholesaledeals.co.uk Reviews, Scams, Fraudsters?

Well, those are the questions, and if the negative reviews around the internet are anything to go by, then we advise that you steer WELL clear of them.

Directory scams, Validations scams, you name it, it is ALL associated with esources.co.uk, and Stefano Carboni.

Is it true? You decide, but read this first….

Where do you start with esources.co.uk? The negative press they have received around the internet must make them one of the most talked about companies on the internet today, and not for the right reasons.

Looking for a wholesale directory? Avoid esources.co.uk? Read on…

Most people looking for wholesalers, or dropshippers will come across esources.co.uk when searching for their chosen product ranges on Google, or other search engines. On the face of it, esources seem fairly straight-forward, and a website that just offers a compiled directory of wholesale and dropshipping suppliers.

Esources claim to have 60,000+ VALIDATED (remember that word) suppliers across the internet, with 178,000+ customers who have joined their services.

Ok, you might think, but think about this. Esources.co.uk claim to validate their suppliers, yes? So if they did not validate their suppliers, then their customers would not pay them their fees? Of course not, why else would you use esources.co.uk over any other free directory, if they were not claiming to validate their suppliers – not when they are endless free directories out there, like www.thewholesaler.co.uk. Customers simply would not use esources.co.uk unless they lived up to their validation claims.

But, are esources.co.uk really validating their suppliers?…….. NO, NO, NO, and NO !!!!!

You see, as the internet has grown, many of these companies are being found out for what they really are. We can prove, and have proven that esources.co.uk are NOT validating all of their suppliers – if any.

What does this mean? esources.co.uk are committing Fraud?

We will leave that up to you to decide is esources.co.uk are committing fraud against their customers. Although, if they are not validating all of their suppliers – and they are not – then how can it be anything else?

More, and more dropshippers are now coming forward on forums, to claim that they have never had any dealings with esources.co.uk, and that they were included in the suspect directory WITHOUT consultation, and WITHOUT any kind of contact, OR validation – In simple terms they were not, and never have been validated by esources.

This means that esources.co.uk are most definitely taking money under false presence? Again, that is up to you to decide, but the evidence is absolutely rock-solid.

The amount of bad publicity against esources.co.uk is HUGE.

If you do a search on Google against esources.co.uk, esources scams, and esources.co.uk reviews, you will quickly see that there is literally an avalanche of negativity including, but not limited to the following:

• Esources.co.uk sending Scam emails offering fictitious jobs.
• Esources.co.uk creating smear campaigns against competitors.
• Esources.co.uk sending countless spam emails to customers.
• Esources.co.uk taking payments they were not due.
• Esources.co.uk cancelling customers accounts.
• Esources.co.uk stealing whole databases from their competition.

And much, much more.

In fact, go to Google and type in Stefano Carboni esources and you will be totally shocked at what you find – of that, we guarantee.

For forum details about esources.co.uk customer complaints see here:

http://www.dropshippingforum.co.uk/dropship/viewtopic.php?f=12&p=12672#p12672/Re:-eSources-esourcescouk-scam

These are from genuine esources.co.uk customers, you will see esources themselves debating on some of these forums.

Again, you be the judge of whether this is true or not, but can so many people really be wrong, when dealing with esources? Hmmm, I can already read your mind as to your conclusions.

Forum, after forum contain countless unsatisfied Esources customers..

It is true, esources.co.uk have been banned from industry forums, for the fact that they were antagonistic and rude to their customers who complained – the evidence is still on forums for all to see.

Esouces have also developed a reputation of taking customers to court, and traders to court who have spoken out against them, on public forums.

The result? What are Esources.co.uk doing about this shambles?

That is what is interesting, because what esources.co.uk have done, is to create a forum:

wholesaleforum.com – Fake forum – fake members, fake posts – All of which can be proven beyond doubt.

New fake forum created by esources.co.uk:

Dropshipforum.com – Fake Forum – fake members, fake posts – All Can be proven.

On this forum, the staff at esources.co.uk, or more likely Stefano Carboni, has set about listing derogatory and libellous comments against as many dropshippers and wholesalers as he can – in a attempt at revenge.

Stefano Carboni has also sent various emails to these dropshippers, blackmailing them into removing content, in return for esources removing content from their fake forum.

We have proof of such emails.

The conclusion on esources.co.uk ? Scam, Fraud, or what?

Again, you will have to decide this for yourself, but if esources.co.uk are not validating their suppliers, which they are not – we have proof – then this could very well be the biggest fraud of it’s kind on the internet today.

Spam emails, no validation of suppliers, cancelled accounts, payments taken without the consent of their customers, stealing of databases, threats with court action if you speak out? etc. etc. These are all accusations put to esources.co.uk from THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS.

And now esources.co.uk is abusing the trust of genuine researchers, by fictitiously and falsifying forum posts on their forum, in a direct attempt to direct new customers to their esources.co.uk website – a website that has been proven to attempt to dupe customers out of their hard earned money.

Our recommendation about esources.co.uk?

Avoid esources.co.uk like a CANCER!

DropshipLand

Profile #2 – DropshipLand.com

Overview
DropshipLand is a well established UK dropshipper based in the North of England, selling CDs, DVDs, lingerie, beauty products, football souvenirs and more.

Costs & Ordering
To join DropshipLand you just have to pay a small fee, they have two options – 1 Year Membership for £29.95 or Lifetime Membership for £79.95, they also sometimes have special offers. The product prices are not shown on the main website if you aren’t registered however if you contact them they will send you a sample price list. They accept paypal, as well as credit and debit cards – and there is no minimum order when ordering products.

Don’t let the sign-up fee put you off, especially if you are new to dropshipping. Although it costs you now a sign-up fee does help you because it discourages some people from joining which means less competition for you when selling their products and it also stops consumers buying direct from the dropshipper.

Shipping
They ship all goods in plain and protective packaging with no mention of the company so the customer will think the product has came direct from you. Although UK based they do ship orders to customers worldwide with low cost shipping rates – £3.00 or £3.75 depending on the part of the world being shipped to. Shipping is also only £1.50 to the UK, which is very reasonable. 90% of orders are shipped inside 24 hours.

Website & Currency
Once signed up their website is very easy to use, as we also have a ‘new member q&a database’, as well as telephone support. The only currency used on the website is pound sterling but if you are located in the US or Eurozone paypal means you can still use the DropshipLand service.

Website Option
If you decide to take Dropshipland’s website option (Platinum membership), then you can have your own website activated inside an hour, ready to make profits. All stock is fully updated, automatically, on a daily basis. You can also add your own products to your website. In fact, Dropshipland actually give you a 300+ software package bundle for you to sell, free of charge, to sell on your new website. You gain free technical support for your website, including telephone support and ticket system. Full details of the Dropshipland Review website option can be seen here: http://www.dropshipland.com/your-website-i-23.html where you can quickly see the benefits.

Immediate Access. Once you have joined Dropshipland, you will be automatically directed to full access details, including how to create your account, as well as activate your website. The software used on the website you receive is a much improved version of the popular Zen Cart shopping cart system, which is very easy to use, even for beginners. The website is already populated with stock, and the only action you have to take, is insert your paypal email address, and you are ready to start trading. It could not be easier.

Product Example
I can’t give a product example like I did on the Chinavasion review because the 2 websites work differently but at DropshipLand they do sell the following products at prices significantly lower than the RRP – CDs up to 40% lower, DVDs up to 75% lower, lingerie up to 40% lower, Inkjet ranges up to 25% lower, beauty ranges up to 30% lower, ties & cufflinks up to 40% lower, souvenirs up to 35% lower than the RRP. From those prices you can see there is room for decent profit margins, especially if you sell from your own website, not eBay. Also, remember, that because Dropshipland have so very many products for you to promote, along different ranges, you will always create the possibility of passive sales from one range, to another.

Conclusion
DropshipLand is a very well established dropshipper and have been dropshipping for over 4 years. They continue to increase their product range which is brilliant from a sellers point of view and they also provide quality customer service – on their website they have a phone number, address etc so it is super easy to get in touch with them. If you want to sell a broad range of products and want a dropshipper you have full confidence in then DropshipLand Review is ideal. You can be safe in the knowledge, that you would be using a dropshipper that has stood the test of time, and is well known for excellent customer services.

Other Notes
As with any dropshipper, DropshipLand will go out of stock of products from time to time, however they do have a clever system in place which lets you check if products have gone out of stock giving you enough time to control your sales. This is a great benefit because there is nothing worse than making a sale and finding the dropshipper has sold out of the product!

The people who run Dropshipland, have some of the widest dropshipping knowledge available, which means you would be working with a company who were one of the first dropship companies in he UK, and who know the industry better than most.

Sellers eBay Alternatives

Other Auction Sites
There are no other auction websites that have as many buyers and as much exposure as ebay. However there are a number of smaller UK auction sites, they are growing and have lots of regular sellers which means there must be buyers.

eBid – probably the most well-known auction site behind eBay and the best in my opinion, very nice site to use. Registering is free, basic listings are also free and you only have pay a 3% fee when an auction sale is made.

QXL -online since 1997, registration is free. Listing fees start from 10p (auction value: £0.01 – £4.99), all listing fees are considerbly cheaper than eBay. Final listing fees are 3.75% for final prices up to £15.00 and 2.00% for auctions upto £6.00. Buy-it-now listings are charged a flat 5% fee.

CQOut – basic listings are free, you are then charged a final bid fee which varies based on the the sale value, for sales upto £50 the fee is 5.29%. You do have to pay a £2.00 fee to register as a seller, they say it is for admin costs and to maintain a secure environment.

Classified Ads
Classifieds normally don’t allow you to complete deals like auction sites do, however they can be a good way to generate leads, you can make a listing with basic product info and then put details of how to buy the item; this is where you link to your auction listings or ecommerce shop or even leave an email adress for more details.

PreLoved -free to join and free to place as many ads as you want. They don’t provide a payment process so you have have to agree with the buyer how payment will be made. To place links on adverts (to your ecommerce shop, auction listings etc) you need to become a premium member which costs £5.00 per year.

Gumtree – a very popular free classified ad website, has local listings for all major areas of the UK. You can also put links in the listings. Free to post, no sign-up required. 

AdFlyer – a free classified ad website. The service is quite new (launched Sept 2007) but is showing good growth and is a very nice website to use. You may want to keep on eye on AdfFyer even if you don’t want to use the site yet.

Your Own Ecommerce Website
This is the big one! By far the best way to dropship products is from your own website. It helps your business to stand out, easier to get customers hooked, increase profit margins and can make running your business simpler.

Domain – this is your address online EG tomstoys.co.uk. Very low cost if registering a new domain, for the domain dropshipblog.co.uk I paid £5.88 and this registers it for 2 years so I have legal rights to the domain, when I come to renew it will be the same price again! If you want to buy a domain already registered by someone else you will have to be prepared to pay significantly more based on the quality of the domain. For registering domains I recommend either HeartInternet or Daily, they are both very reliable UK based companies.

Hosting – this is what puts your website online (like the land you would use to build a shop offline). The hosting industry is massive with thousands of providers. For niche websites like this one I use a UK host and pay £5.49 per month. US hosting is cheaper than UK hosting but if you trade in the UK then UK hosting does have SEO benefits and customer service benefits (in my experience). Once again I recommend either HeartInternet or Daily, however remember to research around for the company best suited to your needs.  

Other Options
There are a few other ways to also dropship products, here are a few ideas.

Mail-Order Service - You could create your own mail-order service by creating a catalogue and dispatching them in your local area as well as to friends and family. Asking targetted local businesses to have them in their shop may be another option. This would work best for small niche products where demand is low but your profit margins are very solid.

Forums – If you own a forum or are a moderator on a forum you could try dropshipping targetted products to members. You wont be able to do it if you are just a normal member as it may be considered spam and trust would be an issue. Maybe setting up a whole section on the forum with your product listings could be done, giving information on secure payments, delivery etc could also be easily communicated with every product listing. You could get members to post when they have bought and then other members could see who is buying and get feedback.

There are also other smaller auction and classified websites that I haven’t listed in this post. If you want to find even more resources keep searching and you might stumble across a gem! This post has certainly shown there is more to selling online than eBay, in fact there are many low-cost ebay alternatives that allow you to increase your potential customer base and make more sales!

Increase Auction Conversions

Here are 5 really simple and completely free ways to increase your eBay conversions.

1.  Have at least 1 image, and it must be top quality. You must have at least 1 image of your product, this goes without saying. The higher the quality of the image the better, and also the larger the better, this allows potential customers to see the product clearly. If the photo provided by your dropshipper isn’t very good you should buy the product and take your own photos (use a bedsheet to create blank background for photos). Taking your own photos can also give you a competitive edge.
2. Make your sales copy well laid out and clearly show each section. Using graphic headers for different sections is a great way to lay out your listing. Sections may include ‘Product Description’, ‘Delivery’, ‘Returns’, ‘Guarantees’, ‘Previous Customer Feedback’, ‘Payments’. You can create these graphics with free software like Serif PhotoPlus.  
3. Offer a wide range of payment options. Always offer paypal, but try and offer as many others as possible. It may be annoying taking cheques to the bank, but it is another transaction for the cashbook and another customer in the database who may buy again!
4. Tell the customer why to buy with you. The visitor doesn’t want to know about you personally, they want to know how you can help them and they need to trust you if they are going to buy. So if your postage is ’1st class recorded’ and dispatched next day then clearly state it! Clearly state your ’100% refund if unhappy’ promise and also clearly show your positive feedback. 
5. Pay attention to the little things. Pay close to attention to the small things and it will remove your listings rough edges and give you a professional listing. Spelling mistakes, bad grammar, ugly font, bad quality graphics and no information on returns all make your listing/business look unprofessional and the visitor will soon be clicking the ‘back’ button to see what others are selling.

These aren’t the sort of tips you need to test and monitor to see if they are having an effect, if you have hundreds of listings running at any one time they WILL increase sales (unless there is something categorically wrong like a bad product/ridiculous price).

In the future I will also do a post on getting more visitors to your ebay listings so watch out for that. For the moment make sure you are putting the above into action, if you aren’t you know what to do!
