After reading all the reviews wish had done earlier Am blocked from using any auctioneers on here even the ons i had been using before all because of my score in there which i have gained mostly because i chose to live in Australia and over 95 percent of the bad scores were for auctioneers not shipping to here I thought had done the right thing by using a freight forwarding conpany over there and emiled that happeing to them evenspoke and lft messages to them same answr always nothing they can do no wonder their ranking is so low even auctioneer companies i have had no problems with before are not allowed to deal with me anymore
After being approved to bid in an auction I did just that, bidding on a valuable piece of artwork. I lost out because Invaluable, an AuctionZip site, says my bid was "submitted, not accepted." After multiple days of trying I have yet to receive any explanation from Invaluable as to how or why that might be the case. Never using Invaluable again.
This site allows scam. Set the sense of urgency to pay for your item, threatening to ban you from other auctions. They send Docusign contract to look legit. Answers the phone and emails until you pay Using only Wire transfer. No credit card or anything else. This way you cannot block the funds after you find out you got robbed. I won a stolen car, picked it up in an empty church parking lot, by a corn field, promising the title would be in the glove box, mailed, or at the office. A person met me with the key. I went to pick it up at the office and no one was available. Emails returned stating couldn't go thru, bogus tracking on USPS return address. Now their website domain name is no longer valid. Good idea for people to scam others.
Beware when buying off of these auction sites. The buyers premiums are high, but they are listed. Shipping charges is where you will get ripped off. Dixon auctions charged me over 90 dollars to ship a 5lb item
Update: package arrived 4 days after the last post. Item was very nice
Horrible customer service at addressing no solicitation request of customer. I unsubscribed from their emails over a year ago yet they continue to bombard me with emails about registering for auctions
I won an item from Weatherham Estate Treasures using Auctionzip. I have been waiting for the item to arrive and have tried to contact the auction house many times to include phone calls, leaving messages, and via email. Finally out of desperation I contacted the customer service at Auctionzip and they said that they had talked to the auction house and it was getting fixed. Still no contact from Weatherhams, they took my money in a hurry. Auctionzip apparently has no way to enforce rules for a business using their website. I will no longer use this site and warn others to stay away.
I called asking questions about an upcoming auction auctionzip was holding where there is no probated will and is currently being contested. The man on the phone snapped stating he was paid to do a job and didnt care about the family affairs. He's in it for the paycheck at the end and then hung up on me. I would not recommend this company to anyone. They lack compassion and basic human decency.
Why would you change something that was easy to use and made you successful? Whoever the corporate idiot was that made this stupid decision should be fired. Can you recommend another auction website that is useful?
I put in a bid BEFORE the auction and a bid from the floor 8 hours later for the SAME amount as my high bid was awarded the item. I questioned them on this and they told me it is up to the auction house which bid is awarded the lot regardless of who submitted the first bid. HUH? That is not an auction, it is a lottery.
Key Date Coins operates on Auction Zip, KDC does not ship purchases in a timely manner or not at all, they also do not give refunds even when they state they will. Auction Zip does not hold their venders to any credibility and will not help you get your purchases from their vendors or refunds. Proving they do not care about their own customers. Do not buy from this site.
Every time i TRY and look at an auction now it gives me the recaptcha or what ever it is and I try and try to solve it and being that they use mthe most blurry photos most times I cannot tell if the item they want me to click on is actually in the photo or not I just cannot get in to even LOOK at any of the auctions. I cannot be the only one with this issue. So for those who want to consign items think of those who cannot see the auction and the bids may either be very low or none at all! Do you want that for items you want to sell? Bidders who cannot see the items for sale? And those of us who are looking for items go other places.
This company is taking my money and it's been over a month and I have not shipped anything and don't plan on it. They're committing wire fraud and mail fraud and she's selling items today sad pathetic I will not use auction zip ever again They DONOT qualify their people a bunch of criminals
Hope Auctionzip goes away for good... and someone else is smart enough to replicate the old site - user friendly, handy calendar, no fees for buyers looking to find auctions, etc. Had to get greedy and try to double dip by collecting on both ends. I fear this will be your end. Too bad... it was great before the change!
Please no more changes. I cannot find the calendar. Your original format was easy, now its a mess. Get rid of the genius who keeps changing things. This is the second time, very confusing. Zeke
Lesson learned. Bottom line do your research before purchasing! All if not most are crooks they over inflate starting bid, unrealistic appraise value. I have learned if they say $1000 - $2000 value means $100 - $200. The site caters to them as it's about the money. I have found that most items sell at what you could buy them for less or same after you factor buyer premium and shipping cost, some charge a handling fee, etc. I also suspect some buyers bidding online are part of the bidders driving prices higher. In fairness. Our Responsibility to research or if you find something you really want then your ok. They should have a feedback system on all auction companies and buyer's.
What happened to the calendar? Impossibly difficult now. You are a pack of idiots. Nothing is geographic or by date. It's like there trying to push a few listings down my throat and some are out of state. It was an easy streamlined experience before but now complete chaos
They removed the calendar which was used as a searching tool for people looking for certain items. You could locate a sale within minutes and now it might take hours to days to go through meaningless garbage. I don't use the site anymore
Auction calendar is gone?!?
Terrible new format... must wade through countless listings that do not pertain.
The calendar would let us know what was going on the days we were available to go to auctions. Change it back or lose us forever.
I gave an attic full of toys to Lark Mountain Auctions in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Nice, clean vintage toys. I was never so disappointed when I received my check. A beautiful vintage Barbie dream house $12.00, a cricket doll with all her accessories $6.00. All my sons Gi Joe soldiers, compounds, and jeeps etc. $1.00. If I knew how dishonest this auction house was, I would have donated my toys to charity. Oh well, what a learning lesson. Sellers BEWARE!
Ive had auctioneers send me broken items, the wrong, item, never respond or ship the item i paid for, and tack on exorbitant "handling" fees after the fact that were not mentioned in the auction terms prior to the invoice. Auctionzip CS will not help at all. They will refer you to the state licensing board but the licensing board cannot help if you and the auctioneer are located in different states. Always use a credit card if you do decide to bid online as that is your only line of protection.
