Do not believe Partypop.com cancelation policy.

Partypop.com charges you for a year upfront or in 3 payments and claim that you can cancel anytime and your cost will be prorated and will be refunded for the months that are left in the year. After having an ad up for almost 3 mo. with no calls, I decided to cancel. I had been charged $180 and should have been refunded $135 for the remaining 9 months but I was only credited $60. After a couple of weeks of trying to contact them for the remainding $75 and having no return call or email, I contacted the BBB. After a month the BBB was also ignored. (Partypop has an F rating because of all of their non-reponses) I then emailed and let them know that I was going to do a charge back then Shula from the co. promptly called and let me know there was a 2nd credit. A couple days later there was, however it was only for $45. Once again I tried to contact them and I was ignored. They still owe $30 and I will not be able to get it but wanted to try at least to let people know about their disreputable business practices.

This company is run by Avi Datner, an Israeli guy who has no problem, none whatsoever, in lying and making up more lies to cover the ones he told yesterday. Shula, the woman who handles the bookkeeping, is his sister.

These people have been crooked for decades. You literally can NOT shame them. No personal morals.

I have seen them in action up close and personal. I know.

I can believe it.

Two years ago I joined as a caricaturist and got no responses.

When I called to tell them I was dissatisfied, they insisted that

people don't remember where they find people on the net,and

so some jobs I got must have been from them.

Each time I asked for my media to be modified it took many tries and was never right for more than a few days. Finally I insisted on leaving and after talking 45 minutes and a few calls later, I got about three quarters of my refund for time left on the one year membership.

Everyone there talks to you on the phone non-stop for an hour, barely giving you a word in edgewise. I know the other artists in my area who are on party-pop. I have spoken to them asking why they continue and how many jobs have they had. They belong to so many sites and think they got one job etc.

Some have gone to the free listing, two still list for the exposure, but I think they are making a mistake. If you are looking to advertise your talent for profit, do not use these guys .

I use Gigmasters and am very happy. No I am not employed by them, just a satisfied vendor.

Fortunately, Partypop has given me a lot of referrals for my business. I know that it's working for me because I always ask where people found me and almost always they say Partypop.
