We don't ask that you take our word for it! Go to http://www.bbb.org/us/Find-Business-Reviews/ and type in GypsyBug and then click on report. This will show you how long we have been in business and what out rating is. The BBB is careful to research each and every complaint to verify the company's practice of being fair and honest. Many sites online are nothing more than blogs and have no checks and balances to confirm validity. We have even seen complaints about our company when we were not even the company that the complainer signed up with and there is no way for us to have those removed.

Can I transfer the ownership of my Gypsybug.com?
Yes! In many cases people have built up their business and sold it to another individual to take over. Even if you are making very little, it has value to someone that wants to start with a positive cash flow.
