Is Western Union safe? Not really...


We've noticed alot of people selling items through western union and decided to visit the western union website to see if there was any protection against frauds for our buyers. And well what we saw we didn't like. We provided below some of the information we pulled out from they're site and provided a link below you can click and get more information from westernunion.com please read this information before carrying out any orders through western union. Thank you.

Sending money to someone you don't know? You could be at risk for consumer fraud.

The Western Union Money Transfer service is a great way to send money to people you know and trust. If you need to send money to someone you don’t know well, you may be putting yourself at risk for fraud.

Because we care about consumers, Western Union urges you to protect yourself from fraud by considering the following:

Never send money to a stranger using a money transfer service. Beware of deals or opportunities that seem too good to be true. Don’t use money transfer services to pay for things like online auction purchases. Never send money to pay for taxes or fees on foreign lottery winnings.

If you think you have been a victim of fraud, please contact your local Western Union Agent.

Alienbids: what is it?

Alienbids.com was the best name we could think of that was short and described what eBAY was doing to they're best sellers. Alienating them. eBay got greedy and raised the fee's causing lots of power sellers close they're accounts and find other means of listing items and making a good profit. We are part of those sellers and we understand. Thats how we came up with alienbids. Become a alienbider and see the difference as we are also sellers and will always look for ways to make your selling experiences cheaper and better.

Alienbids Fees: We are planning on staying free till 2010.

This is a important question. Currently as you can see on chart below we are completely free of charge with only one exemption. To become a verified seller on a monthly basis it costs $1.00 which if you have been selling on other auction based sites charge a hell of alot more.

Final Offer Value 1	Fee
Less than $10	FREE
Less than $50	FREE
Less than $100	FREE
Less than $1000	FREE
$1000 or more	FREE

Alienbids Will Eventually Start Charging.

Eventually as the site grows we want to charge the cheapest fee's possible online. Our promise is this chart will not change. We only will charge when an item sell. Anything sold for under $10.00 will remain free since that was a big issue we were having on ebay attempting to sell cheap items just the listing killed our profits. We will provide sellers with a store option where you just pay a small fee monthly and bypass all fee's altogether. So you may list 100's or even 1000's of items for a small monthly fee with no additional charge. See the chart below for the example.

Final Offer Value 1	Fee
Less than $10	FREE
Less than $50	$1.00
Less than $100	$1.00
Less than $1000	$1.00
$1000 or more	$1.00
