Comments on: Eden Fantasys: Not A Place I Trust http://essin-em.com/2010/05/eden-fantasys-not-a-place-i-trust/ Tue, 02 Aug 2011 03:39:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: A. http://essin-em.com/2010/05/eden-fantasys-not-a-place-i-trust/comment-page-1/#comment-11279 A. Sat, 26 Jun 2010 23:41:47 +0000 http://essin-em.com/?p=3732#comment-11279 I've been hanging around EF for awhile now, never joined, but looked around enough to familiarize myself with the top contributors' names and whatnot. Gradually noticing how many of them seemed to not come on anymore. Prompting further investigation. Ephiphora's banning unearthed a whole slew of poor practices on the part of this company. I think I still will not be joining EF. Thanks for this post and your relation of your, and others', experiences - it's a useful warning. And on a more personal note - thanks, more than you know, for not bothering with Walmart. It's ironic, these companies that claim a concern for the community.

I reviewed all of maybe 2 or 3 times for EF and quit them a year or so ago, I won't air my opinion here in your comments, but safe to say I just never felt right about their service or their company policies.

You were the reason I joined EF in the first place and also the reason I quit reviewing. So, I am not surprised by this latest news of what they have done to Epiphora. It seems to be a recurring trend. I was however very surprised (astounded) to learn about how unethical and sneaky they have been after reading MayMay's post with their fake links- http://maybemaimed.com/2010/05/19/edenfantasyss-unethical-technology-is-a-self-referential-black-hole In my mind, this is unethical linking practices, and I hope Google penalizes them for it. Worse however, is their treatment of individuals, especially those who worked for them, and the way they have mislead and misused their bloggers/writers and employees only goes to prove how shady they really are. And, I also want to thank you for saying nice things about me and the Sextoy.com Reviewers Program on http://britisshameless.com/2010/05/bad-move-eden-fantasys/. I've worked very hard to be honest and open and fair with all our reviewers, and to provide a good program for reviewing sex toys. I quit EF after what they did to you and AAG.

Your blog post is like reading the Old Testament, right down to the names. I’m sad to see the list of people cast from the garden of Eden.

You know first-hand what happened to people who actually worked there, and your experience is VERY valuable. Everyone who reviews toys should read this post. Thank you so much for this post.

Sigh. I'll probably keep using EF to get information about products (they DO have a fantastic site, and it's super useful), but buy my toys elsewhere as much as I can manage. It's so sad to me that they currently have the market cornered in terms of good-website-age and thus so many people keep turning to them even when they have such shady, shady business practices. All I can say is WTF.

Sigh.

And for him to say that he doesn't care about the affiliates-- when I look at my numbers for just the last two wees of commissions I generated for them just from my blog. Heh. He damn well should be caring because that's a hell of a lot of money. And if he continues to treat people like this and lose all of us, people that generate sales like my blog did, that's a lot of business to lose. You know how I feel about this.

Fred didn't send a lawyer out to me. Instead, he used his local lawyer to communicate about my case to a lawyer in my town. In essence he hired two layers of lawyers so that he could avoid paying for my work. Sigh. One small adjustment to what you said about my case.

I really wanted to be a reviewer, but thanks a lot for the heads up! BTDubs, I'm not sure if I've commented on any other posts, but I'm a huge fan! I linked you to my blog. Hope that's okay. If not, let me know and I'll take it down. <3 How fucking disappointing. I really wanted to be a reviewer, but thanks a lot for the heads up!
