    I wouldn't be bothered. If you have a problem how are they going help you properly. I like to touch or feel or see what I'm buying when it comes to fish and corals. Never give personal info before you even bid. That's BS I'd be very leary....

    I dont think 3reef would be letting a non reputable company sponser there site. and vise versa a fraudgalent company wouldnt be sponsering sites (especially forums!) if they where stealing credit card numbers! (They would not want word to spread) on top of it all if your using a credit card and not a debit card you could file a "chargeback" easy as cake and would win everytime (non shipment info is proof for successful charge backs). nothing about this screams fraud to me.. an infinished website? give me a break. I have an unfinished website and im no fraud artist. However if you want to be sure, type the name of the site and keyword "reviews" (google) you will find plenty of info on there reputation.

    They are not sponsoring 3reef. that site is the partner site of a sponsor.
    Would you leave your legitimate business site unfinished as to your business address and contact info or your shipping policies and such. I for one would not.

    As a buyer I like to know who I'm dealing with, which includes an address and phone number. They are the ones trying to get some of my hard earned cash therefore the vendor/company must assure me of their trustworthiness.

    Their main page says they are PayPal verified but when you look at an auction listing they say they only take credit cards.....why then be PayPal verified? Why leave your potential customers confused? If they are legit then they are off to a poor start IMO.

    I don't think much more needs to be said.
