Play.com

Recently ordered from this website, no problem with getting my order.

But since I registered I have been getting loads of phishing emails.

Anyone else notice this?
Bad luck breeds bad luck.

Damn I'm doomed.

    Another former customer, who hasn't looked to buy from them once they stopped selling most items themselves and trying to turn all ebay on us.

    Talking of Ebay, it's another place that is changing. Gone is that feeling of it being a free spirited place, where the common man can sell their wares and the buyer feels like they are walking around a massive car boot/jumble sale for a bargain.

    It's now all about large companies having supposed on line bargain retail outlets with daily deals and is now getting far too commercialised.

    I've never been much of a fan of Amazon, even less after their blatant tax evasion. Also I feel their website is a cluttered mess and in my experience of it, there foreign customer service is appalling.

    I've never experienced anything less than excellent customer servioce from them. It's the fault of the government and tax authorities for creating such a poor system that allows compamies to avoid paying tax. Why should they pay what they're not required to, they've shareholders to consider primarily?
