    Just spotted this post, I bought some software through this site a while back.
    It arrived as ordered, I would have no problem buying from them again.
    Hope this helps

    Looks even worst now, your 1st post is to compliment a site that looks very dodgy.

    I was only telling of my experience having purchased from this site
    No more no less
    By the way what in your opinion makes it look dodgy

    The website looks crap, very badly designed. Apart from that though, do they actually sell anything? All the links to software and games just send you to other sites, through 3 re-directs as far as I can see. This is often a sign of dodgy behavior. It really seems like it's just a collection of links rather than an actual shop, and the re-directs are not encouraging.

    Any time someone registers a new account just to post a good opinion of something that looks questionable, it raises eyebrows as you often end up looking like a shill/pimp. When you ordered, did your order go through thesoftwarebay or through a different site.

    Slow and badly designed site. If that illustrates the quality of the company then beware. I didnt even look around too much, but I wouldnt touch it. No bricks and mortar contact information that I could find, you cant even figure out where they are. Smells fishy.

    To answer the above question
    My order went through a different site accessed through thesoftwarebay,and as I already said I had no problems with the order.

    I actually think this made the whole thing safer because if this was a dodgy site then all the sites which are accessable through it would have to be dodgy also, as all the items seem to be payed for through their own site and some of them are well known names. Would you not agree?
