Doesn't everyone know that vstore is a RIP-OFF. They let you set up
your own store then steal your customers. You would be better off with
an affiliate program.

The problem is that they post their vstore logo all over 'your' site
(which is ok within itself) and when 'your' customer goes to
vstore.com...guess what? It's not just for customer service...it's
designed to STEAL your customers....think about it, if they were on the
vtailers side dont you think they would have a different site for the
vtailer to log in and make vstore.com ONLY for the cunsumer...What a
RIP-OFF!!! They think they're so slick and all you SUCKERS keep falling
for it. ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN COULD SEE RIGHT THROUGH THEIR
SCAM....vSUCKERS!!!
