  1. Review - Auction Sentry

    1.5.3 (Mar 27, 2012)

    I’ve been a Auction Sentry user since Dan Hite brought the program out for eBay users almost ten years ago. I too purchased the “Lifetime” version. Then for the past several years after Auctiva bought it,I’ve bought the annual subscription for $12.95

    A few days ago I received a message saying my subscription was ending…the same day it ended…and the only option was to agree to a monthly subscription plan at $4.95 month…or four times more than I’ve been paying for the past several years!

    Based on what I have read online in the past couple of days,I am inclined to post my review of this behavior to every online venue that will accept it if Auctiva doesn’t change their fee structure. This kind of s*&% is just the thing to incite a call for vengeance against companies who abuse their customers. If you too are so inclined,i suggest commentary be placed on at least these sites:Softpedia,C’net,EcommerceBytes,and AuctionBytes.

    Plus a letter or phone call to their offices might be helpful as well:
    Auctiva Corp.
    360 East 6th Street Chico,CA 95928
    (530) 892-9191

    Tell them in plain language what you think of their administration of Auction Sentry.

    As a substitute,I am now using a freeware program called:Gixen which is a worthy replacement for Auction Sentry especially for casual buyers. Here’s the link to their main site:
