ListiaReviews 415

I don't recommend this after what happened to me! I have done nothing wrong and now my account says that I have to use non-purchased credit when I just bought more points to pay for my bids!

Listia used to be very good. Around 2014 they changed everything including points as a medium of trade. These points are very hard to translate to equivalent dollars. That's one problem. However, another problem slowly came to light—Listia has no means to seek review of problems that occur. They have customer service representatives that are either unable or unwilling to provide assistance in enforcing the rules that Listia themselves created. The biggest problem is with the offering of counterfeit coins. Listia allows known offenders to list these forgeries without repercussions. They don't help victims get their money back and only care about keeping the trading going. As a result, the good coin dealers won't do business there.This company should practice what it preaches and enforce their own rules. As of today, this site is known as a place to list forgeries and stolen property. Hopefully my complaint to the IC3 site will get the wheels of justice going. In the meantime don't buy
Anything there unless you can afford to lose that money.

Most users must know why I say that, listia id a total fraud and scam, if your membership is free of charge, one day they will ban you say you dishonest and try to scam their resources. Not recommended for everyone to use it.

This app has gone completely downhill! They change currencies what seems like every six months and make your current currency worth nothing when they do so. Sellers mostly never send out what you buy and when you try and get your credits back they don't do anything about it... waste of money and time! Don't use this scam app! You are warned!

I have been with Listia since February 2010 so a long time! When I first learned about the site I thought the idea was genius. I still think it is. You offer your stuff up (used or new etc) to gain their "points" and when you have accumulated enough points you can use them to bid on things you want. It appears that they keep things afloat with ad revenue I presume and the team seems to work hard at trying to improve the site. There are always going to be people in this world that will try to scam others so remember the old adage. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Check people's feedback and reliability before bidding. Are they listing a brand new iPhone with no feedback? Yeah maybe don't bid on that unless you like headaches. xD I believe I use the site for what it is meant to be used for. Listing used things and trading them in for small possibly used things in return. If you want some premium item like a brand new gadget, or ebay gift card or very useful items clearly being dropshipped from Amazon you're going to end up paying more than they are worth because people are trying to profit. Also if you are wondering why people list a good bit of useless or overpriced items it's because the site encourages creating 5 listings a day for 25 free points. 5 points is 1 cent so it's only 5 cents a day but hey some people list things like vinyl stickers for 99 points so I suppose in 4 days you could get a completely free item from creating listings that end and never sell. This brings me to the issue of inflation. All those free points being given out daily can cause some inflation. However it does seem like inflation has finally stabilized on the site and the people managing the site claim they combat inflation by using some of their revenue from ads to pay for the auctions they host like more Amazon gift cards. Also the points Listia gets from their auctions plus all their final value fees are used to payout all those free point incentives they give away for listing items and referring others. You can list items completely free without paying any final value fees if you start the auction at 99 points and offer free shipping. Most of the complaints I've seen about Listia seem to stem from deals gone wrong or people that don't understand that you can't shove lumpy stuff (bracelets, belly rings, fat seeds, a clump of fat paper punches all in one spot) in an envelope and expect normal first class letter service (sometimes it makes it through but many times it does not or gets badly mangled). This site is basically a big garage sale and you will see people listing both trash and treasure. I personally use it for small flat items like stickers, used postage stamps, craft supplies/scrapbooking paper and the handmade stuff is fun to look at. There really is so much stuff to bid on honestly if you know where to look. It's a fun way to pass the time. No cash is involved either so no taxes which is a nice headache free way to declutter. :D

When I joined they said you could redeem 25,000 point for a $50 gift card. Now a couple months later they're saying 30,000 will get you the same thing. I have no doubt that the longer I spend on the site the more points it will take to cash out. SCAM.

That is a nice place for you if you want to get rid of the things that you don't need anymore. That was a really positive experience.

It was a long boring day and I didn't know what to do in order to shorten that day. I believed that it would be cool to search in the internet for some cool shopping centers. Finally, I found listia which seemed to me pretty interesting, because it offers things for exchange for free. So you cna just give them things which you don't need anymore and then they send you some things which you need. It's okay for those people who always buy something but don't use it. I guess that this service should be paid with attention from people, because it really deserves it.

Been active on Listia for about 2 months. Already have well over 100 positive reviews - mostly selling but some buying. Haven't had a problem so far *knocks on wood."
Couple of times I had a question for support and within a couple hours, I had well thought out, informative and helpful responses.
Only issue is that I have one buyer that doesn't confirm delivery within a day or two like everyone else. Not that they open disputes or anything, it just locks up your funds until 20 days after payment way made. That's only 1 buyer out of dozens. Seems like they have really tightened things up in a good way since switching back to Points from Ink. Fill out some surveys and it's like free money. Highly recommend giving it a shot.

I bought this laptop and found an app on the laptop. It looked cool so i downloaded it and thought i would try it. After about 2 months when I had eached around ******* points and sold a few items and shipped them but not bought anything with my points listia banned my account saying I HAD ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Before the two months I had never even heard of the website and when I asked them to SHOW me my supposed other profile they could not do it but refused to give me back my accounr

LISTIA IS THE WORST SITE I HAVE EVER USED. The rules state you are allowed 3 accounts per house hold my son who doesnt live with me opened one my daughter who doesn't live with me opened one and I opened one no where on earth would this be considered 3 accounts in one household but when I had over 5oooo points and my daughter had nearly 9500 and my son had ******* all three accounts were suspended in the same day stating we had multiple accounts when I asked them to show me my supposed other account they brought up my son's account and my daughters account when they provided proof that they lived in other towns the accounts were reinstated but with no points. Then a few months later the same thing happened. I spent a total of over $500 shipping free items and lost the points 2x and lost the items and money... site is a huge scam

I was a member for a few years, and received quite a lot of cool stuff. Also contributed numerous items.
I became fed-up with Listia after too many sellers kept the postage fees I sent and failed to send me the items.
I stopped dealing with them altogether when they started the 'ink' system- was unable to figure it out.

I believe the site would be good if a) Listia reimbursed us for postage ripoffs, and b) went back to the former credits system.

I used this site for several years and traded thousands of items! It used to be the best site on the internet and super enjoyable. But then the Chinese started to list their cheap stuff, the owners switched to XNK instead of credits and the site went downhill rapidly. Sad too, because I spent thousands shipping stuff free to other Listians on this site. Not anymore. I'm rarely on the site now so you can keep the worthless XNK I have left.

I got ride of so much stuff here that I know have well over 1,000,000 credits but they have changed how they do things. They have chance the credits to INK. To change my credits into INK is not even comparable to the value of my credits. Plus the produce that is being offered by people is totally different that it used to be at a higher price and most are charging shipping where before there was a lot of free shipping. I probably will transfer my credits into INK and purchase something to use them up and never use the site again.

A lot of you people here leaving whiny reviews are just either lazy, boring or greedy. Listia has some of the most unique items, down to Earth people. I have ever bet! With most things in life you get back what you put into it. Some of you I can tell didn't and you don't know how to be successful and then you cry that it stinks. Listia ROCKS!
