      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 it

      This letter is in response to a complaint submitted on June 18, 2024, ID number ********.
       
      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. Information about Ziffit, the parent World of ************ and contract information can be found at *************************************.
       
      I hope that ************** is successful in settling the matter with World of Books.
      Best regards,

They can send it to my PayPal account *******************************.
