I’ve just had one connected to one of my items saying how great my shop is and to come sell on their new Auction site.
I’m sure that is not what contact the designer button/icon is for and this is unsolicated advertisting spam.
I’m very annoyed at the moment as I thought is was a potential customer asking about one of my items which is what the contact the designer button/icon function is really for.
Yes i got a message from a user here who identifies themself as part of the gripbid team. The message i got is clearly one that was mass sent , In fact i am annoyed enough to copy the whole thing here and link folksy people in for their review. I dont like spam…i dont like people using others hard earnt paying customers details without their permission to try and line their own pockets either. I joined folksy for its hard earnt reputation not to be spammed by other sites wanting the profits without putting in all the effort folksy has done.

I like what your selling, really nice stuff, good luck to you. Also try listing on Gripbid.com or just advertising on it. Its a new site but free to list unlimited items and no upfront membership fee’s . You have some really nice stuff and would be great on the site. Build your own shop and list all those great items you have,and start making money. It’s a selling site as of now will be adding a bid platform as well. Its a fairly new site, but we are promoting it, Big Time . Since you will be one of the first to list you will get Huge front page exposure…- GripBid.com- Welcome
Yes, I had one too for my ffflowers shop. Don’t think much of their promotion since this is the first I’ve heard of them It’s my experience that these new selling sites come and go pretty quickly and ones that feel they need to start off by spamming another site’s sellers don’t last long…
