I'm not sure how I heard about NB in 2002, but it was during the great EBAY purge. Somehow, some where I read about it on a message board, and signed up and sold a bunch of DVDs.

Then the bad stuff started hitting the fan.

A company (not well liked here) claimed I was selling a video that they had exclusives to. When I produced the Bill Of Sale entitling me to the work, they dropped the title from their catalog and all was well, except that my listings had been deleted in the interim.

Then a company that had a TON of listings on NB bought one of my non-sexual titles, and chopped it up and put it in a couple of their sloppy compilations of public exhibitionism. When I complained, I got banned. But I didn't see their stuff tonight...

NB is a wholly owned and operated subsidiary of Rick's Cabaret International, Inc., so with that kind of money behind them, I doubt one will ever see any changes to the site. To me the biggest problem with them was not the design but rather the collusion between the management and a few of the sellers who had hundreds of listings.

When PayPal started purging adult sellers also in the 2002 era, NB started promoting StormPay as a merchant processor, but StormPay dropped adult in 2004 and now on NB's main page there's info about PayPal warming up to some adult.

Interesting roller coaster ride. Now that I am more a shooter than a marketer, and less and less a marketer day by day, I probably won't take much of an interest in NB, other than keep a watchful eye for my original work.

With so much of the market in member pay sites and VOD, I just don't know if there's enough cashback from NB to grab my attention.
