I wouldn't buy from someone who really didn't want to sell to me - for whatever reason. Sounds like a bad deal in the making.

Why spend so much time on this? Just find a company that will do business with you. Seems pretty cut and dry. Society as a whole has way to thin of skin these days...... The right to refuse service is pretty much standard.......

Well if it is one of the only places for me to advertise my products and they let my competition advertise ut not me just because they feel like it I feel that is discrimination. Maybe it is profiling because My business is in Florida even though 90 percent of my Florida
competition advertises there.

Here is an example let's say I start a marine parts business in North Carolina and I come on to oso to advertise but they say no there was this company called trick marine in North Carolina so we no longer let marine business advertise from there and I say what about fountain they say well fountain advertised before trick ripped everybody off so they still can advertise

Actually this practice is more common than you think. It is simply a "business" decision that it appears this company has made to protect itself and customers. While I feel your pain, unfortunatly it is what it is. Hell, I won't make an internet sale to anyone in Malaysia simply becasue 75% of the transactions from this country end up being stolen credit cards. So for the protection of my company, I simply don't allow customers from Malaysa. Not a personal thing, just a risk vs reward.

Isn't there an old saying, "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"?

You dont know the reason. Maybe he has a non-compete or some other deal with a business in your area. To be frank maybe he doesnt want his products going to your area because he has had a bad experience in the past with either you or somebody else in the area. Like others have said this isn't uncommon. Why do certain stores only sell to contractors and not anybody? Just because, I would move on

I have always heard that but I figured a public company I could cause some protest the companies whole business model is selling advertising and by not letting me advertise they are being prejudice against me. I think I will go to the local newspaper and tell them they won't support Florida business. Maybe that will get someones attention

When that happens in at my business, I typically make the people prepay for the service, that way, there is no chance of getting ripped off. Have you offered to pay in advance?

Florida is one of the toughest states in the country to collect bad debt

Well the company that did this is Internet brands they are good enough to take my money for membership on this site but will not let me advertise on other sites soley on the fact that I'm based in Florida.
