There is a lot of information on E-Commerce Exchange available at www.bbb.org However, the BBB typically cautions consumers about work-at-home businesses. Although some can be successful, historically work-at-home business proposals are long on promises but short on results. If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it, right?

Hello Rick,
Thanks for commenting. Originally I got all turned around on this site, and had typed this to a woman name Diane of BBB, sent it, then informed I can not write or email until a bonafide member. Then upon doing this, the page I found her with was no longer. But I had copied my email, saved it in a file. I tried to find her again and couldn't, but glad you did, and being UR w/BBB even better.
Rick, problem is I looked this company up with BBB first to check viability of the A+ rating. The BBB stood behind the rating, of the company docile in New York. I saw that of 'other companies, similar name,ECX in CA. Since BBB does not 'normally' answer their phones, I kept putingt in different ext.# (I admit) until I got a combo that worked and put me on line with a human voice. He was surprised I got through, but nice enough to answer my questions. KNOWING already the long &short aspect of 'hard sells I tried to do 'deep due diligence. I know any business is not easy, if so, everyone would do it. Many attempt, more then many fail. In fact the rates of failure are very high, with rates of success low. Having built other types of websites for other reasons, I did not go into this naive. As long as there is a 'fair playing field, may the best man win in business. I was merely trying to make sure the playing field was fair! I relied on BBB in what I thought was their DEEP research and chain of information research to 'verify the info being put out about this company, period! Even the gentleman of BBB so kind enough to proceed with my devilish way of getting thru to a 'live' voice continued to give his BBB stamp of approval of this company in New York, that is. I find later, this is quite possibly the same company in CA with a F+ rating with so many complaints and many unresolved complaints. I found the info on ECX in California, and I asked. However, the info I received from BBB is the NY company, had been in biz since 1996 & recently in 2009 received this A+ rating, which seems to state, all in 13 years, this company had but a few complaints and all resolved as 'satisfactory! As according to BBB New York!! Now, yes, web businesses can be very beneficial if done correctly, as to my interest as hobby first, serious contender upon development. BUT, if the business model is 'scam, where in no way will anyone, including those with extreme expertise could make successful, a scam is a scam! Get your [consumer] money on the 'fraudulent, misrepresentations of falsified, ill fated, enticements or just plain 'lie' about everything from percentages to fees etc., and of those fees NEVER discussed, then back it by an unenforceable contract (they claim is enforceable), is and will always be 'illegal! This is not buyers beware Rick, this is 'fraud like Madoff Ponzi scheme Fraud of the 'illegal variety! It was backed by BBB! I relied upon their approval rating for final synopsis! Now I am finding, it doesn't take much to get the approval rating from BBB and easy
