Comments on: Buy.at – Welcome, But Please Remember… http://www.bloglyne.com/2007/02/27/buyat-%e2%80%93-welcome-but-please-remember/ An Internet Project Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:00:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Kevin OLoughlin http://www.bloglyne.com/2007/02/27/buyat-%e2%80%93-welcome-but-please-remember/#comment-34 Kevin OLoughlin Fri, 02 Mar 2007 19:42:40 +0000 http://www.bloglyne.com/2007/02/27/buyat-%e2%80%93-welcome-but-please-remember/#comment-34 Hi Mark, Just wanted to say hello, and also quickly introduce you to CD WOW! Hopefully you will be hearing a lot more about us now that we've teamed up with a great outfit like Buy.at! Malcolm has already responded to your queries regarding the registration process, and amongst other things it is this responsiveness that appealed to us. I'd like to think that CD WOW! is willing to listen to and act on ideas from affiliates and customers, and I'm sure you'll agree that it's great to see a successful affiliate network like Buy.at being so open and quick to react to suggestions. I also wanted to briefly address the 2003 lawsuit you mentioned involving CD WOW! In a nutshell, a trade body called the British Phonographic Industry (that's PHONographic!) brought an action against CD WOW! in an effort to restrict the freedom of choice of internet consumers. All titles sold through our stores around the world (we operate in 12 countries) are 100% legitimate. All CDs, DVDs and Games are sourced from known suppliers. Obviously the case didn’t affect us too much because CD WOW! is still going strong, and still offering a great service at a great price… and long may it continue. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain our position. Be sure to check us out over the next few weeks and hopefully you’ll become a big fan of our store. Cheers, Kevin Hi Mark,

We have moved quickly to address some of your concerns so you will find now that routing and banking information is no longer needed to complete the intial sign up process - we were just wanting to make sure we got everyones details as payment is such an important part of what we do as a network but I can see your point on how it might appear off putting and a bit forward with the lack of surrounding information so we have changed it quickly for you and others who would feel the same - many thanks for the heads up. On the handle front just to explain we will have the functionality to create new handles as well but it might not be very quick - its something we were looking at for the UK side of the business so when its done it will be available for all. Your handle choice will not effect signing up to programs and becoming approved but adding in a few of your more well used URL's will give us and them a chance to get a feel for you as an affiliate. Once you have signed up you can add in more url's if you wish. If you really don't want to give over that information at this toe dippingstage just put test for the primary URL but definately choose a handle though . Ill be speaking to CD WOW! US about the other thing you mentioned and seeing if I can get them to post some feedback for you on your blog They are very keen to make things work as are we. Thanks again for the feedback Mal Hi Mark
