Got Screwed by Amazon...final appeal done

We never get any press coverage for this. When my wife and a friend opened it up, I started it with $10k. We let the local press know about it and heard nothing. The very next day on the front page of the local paper was the American Legion holding a giant $500 check going to Toys for Tots

I just get no respect

Like I said, if I had read the T&Cs, I would have known not to purchase my own stuff through the account. And, if I had not broken the rules, I would be screaming at the top of my lungs..I think everyone knows that about me

But, I have done enough affiliate terminating over that past 10 years that I know...if you break the rules, you pay the price.

At least they weren't as bad as google. They terminated me a few years ago without any reason given. That wasn't quite $11k but it was a good sum of money.

Ya know Jim...it really blows that this happened

BUT, I gotta take my hat off to you for recognizing why it happened and being cool with it. Takes a damn big man to do that...and very cool that you covered the funds yourself
