After a lot of procrastination, I finally decided to ser up my Shopify account and website on 08/31/24 and on 09/01, Labor Day. It is something I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while now. Word on the street is that people are making more using it as a side hustle, than their actual jobs. So naturally, very attractive to a TI who either gets denied jobs or when they do get jobs are sabotaged on the job–gangstalking, stolen hours/overtime etc🙄
Anyway, I used a very informative YouTube clip to do my setup. I pretty much setup everything–domain registration and store–but deliberately left the store empty because I wanted to do more research on the women products I wanted to sell. I added a few products to the store just so I could understand what the YouTube clip was explaining–some things, you just have to experiment with to understand 🤷♀️
So I was basically done with the setup on the night of 08/31, and designated the next day, 09/01, as the day for adding quality products to the store.
So on the morning of 09/01, I decided to check the email that would house all the Shopify related information and boom, I’m hit with an email saying my account has been cancelled over some terms of service(TOS) violations😳I haven’t even used the account yet. Can you believe that? Criminal targeting, folks🤦♀️
Oh, and btw, part of the setup involved registering a website(domain) which costs $15/year. I looked at my bank account and it was charged TWICE for the same transaction. This bank theft (multiple/duplicate) charges on bank accounts, is actually pretty common among TIs. I will appeal the decision, of course, so stay tuned
You’ve heard a lot of TIs complaining about being secretly blacklisted, and cut off from ways of earning income. Folks, maybe now you’ll quit rolling your eyes🙄 the next time you hear that. I haven’t even used the store yet, I’m barely done setting it up, yet I’m already banned for violating the company’s terms of service. What kind of gungho targeting is that?😲😂And they double-charged a TI for domain registration. Lord Have Mercy. End the criminal targeting program, folks, end it!!🤦♀️
I did notice however though, that they refunded one of the $15 domain registration charges, so good on them. As of 09/03/24 however there’s still zero word on my appeal re the Shopify cancellation decision. I’ll surely let you know if and when a decision comes down. Better be good, Shopify😂
