I sent for the product for $39.95. + Shipping and handing<br />
However, when I received the books and CD's the invoice said $124.32. After looking over the material, I packed it back up and returned the package to the Post Office. I have been selling on eBay for sometime and I thought I could learn some new marketing strategies. The eBay site tells you as much as these books do. I never opened the CD’s. I did get a refund of $109.37 (no shipping and handling) Although, this was not my issue. The problem for me was the charges that started each month, there after. I started receiving a charge of $29.95 each month to my credit card. When I finally realized I did not know what this charge was for, 3 months had gone by and $90.00 of my money. The charge was from AFI ACT MAX. I finally called the phone number on my statement. Apparently, when you ordered the Auctions for Income, you get a free 30 trial to this AFI (???), for what I still do not know? I told the person on the phone, I returned the Auction for Income months ago and did not know why I was being billed. After getting nowhere with this person, I asked for a supervisor. I was told the AFI was not affiliated with Auctions for Income???? Well, I finally received a refund of one payment of $29.95, but only after saying, I was going to report them to the Better Business Bureau. I then filed a complaint against AFI with my credit card company along with sending them supporting documentation of why I did not owe this money. They removed the charges. They are going to contact AFI. I suggest to anyone who feels ripped-off, contact his or her credit card company. They are very familiar with how these companies rip-off the public. Plus, so many people give-up and do nothing about the fraud. These people/ businesses know most people will not even fight it and that is how they make lots of money.

The reports on this product are right. This product sucks. My husband and I bought this hook line and sinker as well. The coaches are pushy and before we knew it we were $6000 dollars in debt to them. We are not able to do the program and when we tried to recoup some our money we were told we were out of luck. We wished we had never heard of Dave Espinoso. I don't know how to recoup our money that we don't have. I hope this report helps so that anyone else can't be suckered into this scam

Like many of the other stories, I so bought into the "get rich on-line" theory of Dave Espino's product. I called to order the product and after 30 mins of they trying to sell me other products I was finally finished. I rec'd the products, got a call from the 'coach' who was so pushy on "upgrading" my products to increase my sales, I got skeptical. I returned the product and did not receive any sort or contact or refund until 3 mths later (didn't receive full refund either). THEN, I received my monthly ccard statement which I purchased the product on and there was numerous charges to overseas companies (i.e. cigars, computers, etc). I called my ccard company and because I gave out my 3-digit security number on the back of my card (WHICH YOU SHOULD NEVER DO UNLESS YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE WORKING WITH)...with this # they can buy anything. I had to file a fraud claim and the chrgs were credited, but what a nightmare. Never again will I guy from an infomercial!! Not only that, after all this I saw the infomercial on again. I heard that they travel from state to state and when they start getting complaints they close shop and move on to other unexpected suckers!! Do not buy this product!!!

I bought into this scam, hook line and sinker. I purchased the package from the infomercial. A few days later I was called by a "coach" and after talking over days with other people I was talked into buying the second level of their system for thousands of dollars. As you can probably gather I wasn't very internet savy. After spending countless hours trying to find the right product to sell with no success, I started to investigate Dave Espino. I now realize I'm not the only person to be scammed by him. I don't know if there's anything I can do to try to recoup my money.

Very basic information. Not the "secret level" information promised on the infomercial at all. I am really disappointed that this course was more an advertisement for the coaching program than actual information for success on Ebay.

This program just out right sucks! I wish I would have returned it but I was just too lazy! Everyone and anyone that sells on eBay already knows how it works. So basically you are buying information that can be found for free on ebay and doing a search online. Not worth it! I do fine selling my own stuff on ebay. The only thing I found interesting was the dropshippers that they use and the "secret" website. I thought it was cool to have access to this site until I saw how many other users on ebay were selling the same exact items with the same exact description of the product! I sold ONE item from that website and made a $10 profit if I was lucky. So, if you wanna get rich on ebay, sell your junk like I do. People like to buy crap. Hey...I can come up with an infomercial and charge $60.00 to everyone to tell them what they wanna hear too! lol...some people are amazing!

The infomercial for Auctions for Income promises to show you everything you need to know in order to start your ebay business. My experience is that you receive a bunch of DVDs and workbooks that show you just enough teaser information to inspire you to sign up for their personal tutoring and coaching. If you choose to buy Auctions for Income be forewarned the information you will receive can be found on the ebay website and other free sites online.

I bought this system from an infomercial a couple years ago. Anyone who has used eBay for selling things already knows most of the secrets, or they are available in any online auction how-to book at any bookstore. The system explains how to find produts to sell on eBay for retail price while purchasing them wholesale. The problem is, there is NO demand for ANY of the products available at the direct-ship warehouse sites! Also, the more people use this system, the more of the same product will be available on eBay at the same time. That will greatly lessen the chances of selling any of yours if everyone is competing with everyone else trying to unload the same products.

I saw the infomercial a while ago. The info pak is supposed to show you how to effectively buy and sell on internet auctions. When I first got it I briefly glanced at the pak and then put it aside. Then my "coach" started calling. I wound up sending him packing. What I found was that even though it is claimed you can start doing this part time and it is an excellent source of part time income you really have to run this like a full time business with shipping accounts, bank accounts, etc. I'm glad I didn't speak at length with my "coach". Others have been taken for between $5,000-$10,000 for "personalized tutoring". Final outcome: takes too much time to get a little part time hobby started up.
