Hi. I've paid PA for my book rights to be returned, but after a month nothing has shown up at my home and they won't reply to my emails.
Help!! What now?
Help!! What now?
Thanks for the info. I forgot to copy the confirmation number from the screen, but I did do the shipping option. I am also going to contact my credit card provider to see what they can do.
have a good day.
Congratulations, Bill!!!!...yesterday (02/04/11) the mail man delivered me a certified letter containing both of my releases...
I would certainly "stop payment" with my credit card company at this point.
Originally, many months ago, I offered PA $100 each for both of my book rights back. They declined, many times, over the next year or so.
I noticed the $99 option a few weeks ago and checked it with the $149 option and it appeared the same thing to me.
Since the $99 option is nearly identical to my original offer I opted for that and ordered both with the shipping (which is a certified letter really). On the 27th of January I sent them their electronic payment, then yesterday (02/04/11) the mail man delivered me a certified letter containing both of my releases.
PS - I have been watching the time line closely. Had I not received my releases by the 17th of February I was planning on calling the credit card company to file the contest of payment. Not that I don't trust PA - but plainly put, they are less trustworthy than thieves.
Some refuse to pay them - I decided it was worth the money to just be DONE with them. Never again will I fall into such a trap, they are the most evil of evil in the business world. I think you all know where their destiny will be when they stand up in front of Him and plead their case ----- they likely will face the "second death."
I'M DONE.
God Bless

Is there a link for this $99 purchasing back your rights? I originally asked if this could be done and got ignored by PA. Offered again with my cease and desist demand, figuring they'd rather have my $99 than fight a lawsuit, but the refused to even accept my letter.
I gladly pay them the $99 just to be rid of them for good.
Did you get that Larry?
I'll give you the $99 just tell me how.
I paid back in Jan 6, 2011, a month ago by credit card, and PA took the money from my account on the Jan 7th, 2011. After advice from all you great people on this site, I looked back onto their link through their email they sent me in case I missed out the Option.
How about this, they charged me $149!! But when I went through their web site instead of opening up the original email, it's only $99!!!
However, they are not sending me any more emails so I know that they got my shipping option, which is International as I live in the UK, but despite my sending them quite a few emails, they won't reply. I suspect that they've put my name on their spam list.
I know we're talking PA here, but I find it so weird that they list this to buy like a book. Sends bad signals to all those people trying to be published by them. Putting aside the thousands of red flags with PA, this is a big one if I was interested and found so many authors wanted out. But like I said, just another HUGE red flag authors are ignoring in the name of being published.I just checked the site minutes ago - and it is still up.

So has anyone purchased their rights back from them and had success with it? It's terrible to read this crap that Yellow Rose has gone through, but if it can get me separated from these worthless, criminal scumbags, I'm willing to make a one time payment and have done with it.
I've got a new illustrator/cover art guy, and want to do some revisions and get them really published.

The $200 I'll have to pay will work out to be worth it, I think.
