After reading the other post, I am glad he took he did not allow you to post you sec listing. Seems he was being quite fair with you, and you wanted to raise a stink. He is a known member of this community and I have had nothing but good dealings with his staff, from password problems to security listings Adam was a great help. So why should we take your word with no proof VS A standing community member with something to lose?
I totally agree.
The 8 BTC fee is totally reasonable considering you are trying to list a company on the stock market. I would expect a fee like this at a minimum to be on all submissions, accepted or not. We are lucky the fee isn't 40 BTC, in that situation only "serious" companies would be listed in the stock exchange, like it should actually be.
You guys are trying to lynch him over this fee? He runs the stock exchange. This is his business, he has to read over and review all the business ideas, and consider them for listing or not. Surely a person's time is worth money.
I had my GLBSE listing initially declined, but after a period of waiting and revisions to my contract, he let my company list on the exchange.
It's a non-refundable fee, he clearly states that on the site, I don't know how you can call someone a scammer over this. The fact that he is refunding you just blows my mind.
