A while ago whilst looking at the cost of buying job-lots to sell on Ebay, I came across a internet wholesaler called Zentrada. I signed up as you do with many internet sites (The form was very similar to this site as in user name, email and password etc) At that time I didn't take it any further due to lack of funds and the risk of unknown job-lots. Anyway, a couple of month later I received an invoice for £67!!! :eek: At the time of signing there was NO clear sign of a charge to be paid. I thought sod 'em, they're getting nowt from me.
I received about 10 - 15 snotty emails from them demanding payment. I either replied saying no, your not getting a penny, or do you realise thay your only costing your company money pursuing this as I ain't going to pay. (need finger smiley;) )
Today I got another email from them after about three months of nothing.

Cheeky sods.

I little tip, stay away as their no good and a pain in the backside for simply viewing their website. This obviously hasn't gone all bad but no one needs this agro.

Just had a quick look at it's registration page and it is absolutely clear that you get 4 weeks free trial and then there is a membership charge.

Have to agree that unless they've changed the website it does seem pretty clear that it's a subscription service with free trial. I never go for those free trial things as they ALWAYS make it far more difficult to cancel than it was to join.

I re-checked the site too when I got the first invoice and it was clear that there was a charge, however when I signed up it was via an advertised link and took me straight to the form. there was no warnings of a later charge or I would not have continued.
