Help / Advise wanted on correct use of HotUKDeals for Merchants

POSTED BY: IceMan2008 2 months, 6 days ago

Hi Guys,

Hope you can help I am a complete novice to hotukdeals. I had a brief encounter a few weeks ago where a customer posted a special offer of mine on this site. I had a lot of interest as it was an excellent offer cheapest on net. It stayed visible here for a little while but then got taken off by a moderator.

I now understand why it got taken off as you cannot have a listing on ebay and hotukdeals at the same time. Also in the message the moderator explained they need to do some checks on the legitimacy of the site I have no qualms about this, actually I WANT to provide everything in order to become authorised to publish on this site - once the moderators have checked it out.

I am also currently working on finding a suitable affiliate program to be able to co-work with Quidco and improve future offers even further.

Please feel free to ask any questions apologies in advance if I shouldnt have posted this here!!

Regards,
IceMan

Personally, I would suggest you get in touch with Admin directly by using the Contact Us form.

Yeh im afraid the mods have the final say - if a site is suspicious it wil lbe removed as theres no way to know if say e.g you ran the site and could be a con merchant

its my understanding that even if deals for your site are allowed to be posted, you won't be allowed to post them. if you have something which you think is a good deal it is normally advised that you contact admin directly via the 'contact us' button at the bottom of the page, admin and the mods will then judge whether it is a good price and then post it. you are however allowed to help people out in the forum (advice with orders etc.) like some of the other merchants bigpockets etc.

Thanks for your help on this...

But there are still a few things i am not clear about:

dandoc2 - is there any way me as a merchant can proove that i am genuine and not a con-merchant? I dunno maybe by providing documentation etc

I tried posting a deal through the contact us section a fortnight ago but it might have got missed off?
I had nothing back form admins. Having said that I did notice there was a clause that there is no guarantee the listing will get published & and the moderator would be doing their checks.

The main aim of this post (as you guyz will have noticed) is to have some clarification on what the correct procedure is to list an item as a merchant by being as approachable as possible

Regards

No one can tell you what information is required other than Admin/The Mods, as they are the one's who decide these things. The users have no say in the matter so it is pointless asking us.

Again, you need to contact Admin about this.

:
help people out in the forum (advice with orders etc.) like some of the other merchants bigpockets etc.

THats on the forums but they dont actually post their own deals, the value of a deal once posted up is then judged by the members as to whether its good or bad and comments on maybe where a better deal can be had or if the product has known problems etc

Ok guys, a HUKD member posted a deal for this company. Following on from that, we have been repeatedly spammed by multilple IDs trying to promote this company. I really don't know how many there have been now... maybe 10 or 11 accounts. We decided to pull the original deal, because a company that treats us in this way is really not welcome here.

HotUKDeals is a community forum, not a place for merchants to advertise. Please direct any further communications to admin, using the contact us link at the bottom of the page.

P.S. I moved this to the feedback forum for HUKD issues.
