I have been advertising my services on this forum for a couple of months, it is great very affordable and I have gained many clients as a result. My dilemma is this. I have some clients and I know they came from this forum that have decided for whatever reason not to pay me for my services rendered ( there have never been any complaints about my services ). My question is this. Would it be ethical of me to post these apparent dead beat clients on this forum, as reputable or would I be over stepping some boundary?

Well, being an online merchant myself. I would say to keep it to yourself. There are 3 sides to every story. Yours, theirs and the truth. I don't believe in airing my dirty laundry in public unless I really have to. What I do with problem customer's is I add them to my 'blacklist' , when they try to log in
to my site, they find that they can't, and I get an email notification. Even making new names doesn't help as I have their Paypal accounts flagged.

Thanks for your replies. Paul is probably right. I'll keep it to myself. Just nice to have a chance to rant about it anyway.Online Store is closed. Chip resetting is a thing of the past! Thank you to all my past customers.

Again, by keeping it to yourself, you are only helping "yourself". I understand that their is two sides but I would rather see for myself and decide for myself. Usually in a dispute, the crook walks off and never to be seen or heard.
I know if I was selling parts to members here, I would like to know who the bad apples were.

Just curious, how is it that you allow this to happen? Don't your customer's pay first?Comment

Too trusting..If you are hitting your head up against a wall it always feels better when you stop.Comment

Yes perhaps I am a little too trusting. But I feel when I know I am dealing with authorized KonicaMinolta dealers, I believe I can trust them in fact for dealers in Canada I often bill them net 30 days, maybe Canadians are just more trustworthy? Live and learn I guess.Online Store is closed. Chip resetting is a thing of the past! Thank you to all my past customers.

First three, COD
As gratifying as it might be, you would be stooping to thier level by posting the dead beats. Paul has the right idea about keeping a personal blacklist.
Fortunately for me, our company has a long standing relationship with all our customers. There is just too much other business going on for either our customers or us to reneig <sp?>.
One of the places that I used to work required COD for the first three calls when billable, or if your clicks were overdue. I think this is a great place to start. Anybody who balks at those terms would have stiffed you anyway.
=^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

We've had customers who were good on payments and then had some financial hardships recently. They were put on COD and got no service or supplies until they were paid up. New clients who only get supplies or service from us are on a COD for at least the first call. Use your digression about posting the names. I don't know any of the circumstances but times are hard. As a suggestion you might want to get a portion of the money up front, if not all of the money. Good luck.the savin2535 is displaying well bet the hiter lamp is not shining and the lamp had been tested o.k.please kindly help.Samir: No, not again. I... why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window.

Dead Beats
I'd get a hold of the dead beats, especially if they hang here and can hurt others if they 'front them', and explain that you'll be passing it along. If you truly feel cheated you usually get a 'feeling' if they TRULY are in the wrong. If there's been no ongoing fued about it, just a general: I ain't payin', then allow them to tell all here and that way most won't have to worry about hooking up with them. If they put up a decent "defense" (and I'm not trying to place myself or others on a high horse to act as judge or jury but we all have to make decisions based on some information, it's just great to have info) then others here may decide to work with them if they appear to be trustworthy, just a dispute, they happen. Disputes happen to everyone if they've been dealing with people for any length of time. How you handle the disputes is what makes you last longer, at least with that customer, or territory.
