I have problems with something that's been mentioned a few times itt, and that is: "if a seller is good, you won't face neg seo, and he will resolve things properly, etc". That's cute, and comforting, but how do you know? Better to by cautious.
1. If a seller is good I wouldn't be so furious about the low quality links and/or poor results I received.
2. How is one supposed to know if somebody's good? Because he makes cute videos covering seo topics? Because a bunch of fools click the thanks or rep button every time he spouts off? Because he's always the first one to give approval for the (free!) seo package he received?
I laughed about the "the proper authorities" will take care of you. Yes, I'm going to call the internet police and say, "I gave a negative review, and a month later my site is sunk. Arrest ShitlinkSeller81 please." Meanwhile, I'm going to spend a month cleaning up my site before submitting to google for reconsideration.
Another thing that's kind of unrelated (this is pure speculation, but I would be surprised if it wasn't the case. I'd like to be wrong though): Just because higher ranking member received good links, good results, well-written content that's optimized and readable, doesn't mean you willl. Don't think big buddy is going to receive the same bunch of links that you got.
With all that said, this place is golden. Maybe because I was willing (had the money) to trek through the muck I was able to find some good people, and some pretty good people.
