I sold some books I had to a company called Ziffit which I didn't know is an affiliate with world books. They originally paid me $15.12 instead of $145 like it was supposed to be. I emailed them and finally got them to admit that they were going to pay me the remaining balance of $129.67. Instead they sent me $67.29. I would appreciate it if they would cash me out $145 for the hassle of dealing with them and the pain and suffering I have went through dealing with them. They can pay it in my PayPal account ********************* I'm getting sick of emailing them and getting the run around all this time I'm over itBusiness response

World Book is not an affiliate of Ziffit. ****** is a member of the World of ************ In reviewing their website, I see that the Group comprises three re-commerce technology businesses: Ziffit, Wob, and Shopiago.

I hope that ************** is successful in settling the matter with World of Books.

All I am asking for is the amount $145 be posted in my password account at ********************* for all the headaches of trying to contact your business and get nowhere but we sent the money we sent the money we'll if you honestly sen the money my PayPal account would have alerted me and let me know I'm not stupid and i am not going to be made to look stupid by some website i sold my books to with good faith that they would honestly pay me and not s**** me over.
Sincerely,
