> The spreadsheet helps Jessica make sure she’s on top of due dates and getting paid on time. BuzzFeed News reviewed the document, which showed 117 open orders that hadn’t been refunded yet. A column titled “Total currently out of pocket” — or what she’s still owed — amounted to $2,282.01.
So not only is she getting lots of cheap crap, and having to fake reviews for it... she's paying over $2,000 to do so?
- ceejayoz 7y agoNo, it means she gets paid post-review, which means she tends to have an accounts receivable balance.
- LeonM 7y agoThe brand reimburse the purchases, but only after the review. So this is money that is still due.
- AmVess 7y agoFurther, she loses money with these reviews. Basically, she likes getting packages full of things she doesn't use and loses money on. What a weird hobby. “I really don’t think I’m making money on it at all. I’m pretty sure I’m losing money,” Jessica said while looking over her spreadsheet. “I’m pretty sure I’m at a 10% loss. But I’m okay with it, because I’ve gotten a whole bunch of new stuff.”
- logfromblammo 7y agoPresumably, if they don't pay up on time, she can change the review to 1-star and blacklist the seller from the fraud scheme?
- mcphage 7y agoOr would that just get her blacklisted?
- logfromblammo 7y agoGetting blacklisted by a company that doesn't pay as promised is not really a bad thing. And I don't think they collaborate on shill management.
