Dear All
The main intention of this mail is to warn all the innocent members of this group not to get cheated by the methods adopted by Baazee.com to generate its revenues. Baazee.com is considered to be the best Indian e-commerce site and most of us take it granted and feel secure shopping on Bazee, but the underlying fact is that baazee restores to illegal practices by joining hands with sellers and putting those products which can be get for absolutely FREE on the web. This review is based on the very recent experience that I encountered while shopping baazee and hence I thought that its my responsibility to bring this incident to light. I wld like to make it a point that I dont have any grudge on baazee and neither im writing this mail out of frustation, but its out of anger on the way baazee treats its buyers. Here is the incident that took place with me. I will also give the proof for all the members so that they are convinced of the incident
I placed an order with baazee with Order ID 847363 at Order Time 24 Jan 15:44 for the product Vatsyayana Kama Sutra - eBook for an amount of 198.90

Upon clicking the link given by the seller I was SHOCKED to find out that the seller simply gave me a weblink from where you can download the e-books for obsolutely free. here is the link https://easymediabroadcast.com. I immdly gave a negative feedback to the seller and contacted him on the phone and said that what he is doing is simply cheating the Buyers. But whats suprising is to listen to the seller version of the story which made a lot of sense
Baazee infacts gets in touch with sellers and asks them to put such things for sale inspite of knowing that we can get them for FREE. So the Catch for the Baazee is that they will get 90% of the bid amount as commission and it also protects the seller. So inspite of me giving negative rating it will not get reflected in the seller account which happened in my case. And yes are u thinking of trying to get in touch with Baazee. Dont be bothered..they will simply say that they will look into the matter and will get back to you which will never happen!! .So Baazee restores to means that are unethical for running its business
SO GUYS BE CAREFUL THE NEXT TIME WHEN YOU THINK OF SHOPPING ON BAAZEE
