Gosh, I had no idea that I was signing up as an "affiliate" for Sellathon by using the free counter that I believed was provided by Auctiva.
Most people who sign up as affiliates, understand that they need to research what they're promoting (which is what affiliates do, they promote web-sites and earn money/rewards for doing so).
I thought I was using a free counter, provided by Auctiva. I had no idea that using that counter, meant that Sellathon could my auctions in any way they felt necessary to promote THEIR product.
And, I don't think requesting a disclaimer is asking much at all. The least Auctiva could do is explain how using the counter, means that you accept and understand that you are becoming an "affiliate."
