ProffilaTools review for Auto DS: AI Dropshipping & POD

April 24, 2025

Update: AutoDS is a SCAM. Full stop. What happened to me over the past couple of months was beyond frustrating — it was straight-up deceptive. I'm writing this after years in e-commerce and automation tools, and I’ve never experienced anything as shady as this. It started with a critical issue: product images began disappearing from live listings on Shopify. Main images. In some cases, all of them. No warning. No system log. No way to detect it unless I caught it by accident — and I did. What I found was dozens of listings completely broken. But that wasn’t even the worst of it. Around the same time, I completely lost the ability to manage my listings. I couldn’t update product prices, edit descriptions, or replace broken images. And this happened during a critical period where I urgently needed to update pricing across multiple SKUs. For over a week, the platform was effectively dead — a frozen shell that left me locked out of my own business. I contacted support immediately and explained everything in detail. They told me it was forwarded to the dev team. I followed up two days later — no progress. I contacted them again — same answer. I even went through the Renew Token process they suggested, hoping it would fix the sync issues. It didn’t. Then they asked me to fill out a refund request form — and to do so, I had to enter an additional email. That same email was later used to create a new AutoDS account without my consent. No confirmation, no opt-in, no message asking permission. Just — boom — new account created, and the spam started flowing in. This alone is a major violation of privacy and data protection standards. And here's the cherry on top: – I had paid over $200 upfront for a yearly plan – When I asked for a refund, they said no – They only returned about $50 — the balance from my product sourcing wallet – They also withheld 15% as a “processing fee,” something I was never warned about – I now get emails from an account I didn’t create, and the only way to unsubscribe is to log in — which would reactivate the entire mess This is deliberate. This is manipulative. This is scam behavior. Add to that the months of lost time manually fixing broken listings, the complete lack of transparency from their dev team, and the generic, robotic support replies — and you get a company that doesn’t just drop the ball. They throw it into traffic and tell you to chase it. After everything I’ve been through — I’m honestly just relieved I left. AutoDS is not a partner. It's a liability. Scammers, blockers, and business-killers. Avoid them.
