Hi zavala56469! It's because alot of people are so greedy and want to make money fast, so they pay and invest money on things that they dont do alot of research on. They end up loosing their money and then complain and blame the companies. The companies are to blame to some extent but mostly its your own fault if you loose money. Fast and simple solution is to make money with reputable companies and dont waste your time. Happy MyLotting!

???? and that's exactly why I'm not using ebay anymore, it's a good way to make some extra money if you have some stuff you dont need but it's not worth your time if you want to make more money.

I think it is a lot to do with human nature and the fact that the only time humans get vocal is to moan about something rather than praise it. So the majority opinion will be a negative one. Taking that view and putting it into the context of working online means that if a website turns out to be a scam you can bet everyone will get vocal, they will post scam warnings on forums and blogs. But then when it's the opposite and a site turns out to be legit you don't get nearly as many people saying that the site is good. Therefore if someone is looking into working online they are going to see lots of information on one site or another is a scam but not so many positive views on sites. That I feel is why people think that working online is a scam. Plus surprisingly a lot of people still do not get the whole idea of working online, that you can earn money for something which is not physical.
