I've purchased a couple of items and they have both been in excellent condition. They were packed well and arrived very quickly. The pictures didn't do the items justice!
Purchased a few "electronics" from these people. They don't work. When you try to sell their garbage back, they state "we do not feel our platform is the right fit". Funny that it was the right fit when I was the buyer.
Just stay away from them and you won't be sorry.
This site offers an auction site with your wildest dreams. My hobby is browsing the site enjoy something new everyday
I recently bought sterling silver last fall and last week, 2 sapphire rings. It as simple, reliable and efficient. All products were as advertised.
Excellent pictures to show case the items. I bid on a 10K white gold diamond ring and it is in perfect condition. I would definitely purchase again from EBTH in the future.
I was able to win a grouping of costume jewelry that I confidently bid on because of the detailed photos on the listing. The items arrived quickly, and securely. And looked exactly as shown in the photos. Great job!
The reason for the 4stares is because with say China you can clearly see that piece should go together with other pieces but then they break it up into smaller sets I think it should all be as one set other than that I love it.
Buying and bidding experience was so easy. Would recommend, to anyone looking for a special item. My item arrived via express UPS in a very timely manner. Happy shopping!
Received expensive item of art broken. Called immediately. Amanda could not have cared less. Dryly stated that they would email a form. I explained that I loved the piece and would be willing to keep it if they would repair. I was told that I would have to do the research and get an estimate. After spending over three hours of my time with no result, still told the same thing. You only have thirty days. No estimate, no money back. When I explained that I work full time and that I really did not have time to do this I was told by Amanda that she is busy too. That's our policy. Take it or leave it. Well, I'm leaving as a customer.
They have a habit of lying to their customers, sellers, and worst of all their employees. Employees are filled with empty promises, then laid off without any notice. I know first hand that they have lied to sellers regarding forgeries. They've sold things that go against federal regulations. They sell things that they know are not in working condition but remain vague in condition notes to make a quick buck. They only care about $$$ and it's going to cause them to go out of business or get sued (again) fast.
I love how I can find one of a kind items and of value and quality. The customer service is awesome and they ship right away! It is one of my favorite web sites!
I have purchased numerous works of art, designer handbags and home interior items. All of my purchases have been exactly as stated in the descriptions and arrived in perfect condition. Thank you to EBTH for the opportunity to purchase art works from artists around the world that I would otherwise not have had access to! I will continue to purchase from EBTH with confidence that I am purchasing well researched items that have been authenticated by EBTH's expert staff.
I just found out that when EBTH says in the description something is an autograph it may not be an autograph but a copy of an autograph. Most auctions say autograph when it is actually signed. If not authenticated they mean they can't guarentee who signed it. At EBTH if it says not authenticated it means they are not saying it is an actual autograph but may be a copy of an autograph. Just warning people!
I love vintage jewelry. Every day when new sales are posted, I scroll through till I find a piece that speaks to me. Trust me, there's a lot of speaking going on. I've bought numerous antique pieces that I just love! They arrive in a timely manner, carefully wrapped and well packaged. I am thrilled that I found EBTH.
Items as described, packed very well and arrived quickly, thanks! I will definitely buy from this company again.
I HAVE AN ONLINE "ETSY SHOP" (etsy.com/shop/prospectorcollection) SELLING ANITIQUES, ART, SCULPTURES, COLLECTIBLES, ETC AND SIMILAR "TREASURES" FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION AMASSED DURING THE PAST 50 YEARS.
ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM EBTH DURING THE LAST 3 YEARS CAME TO ME IN EXCELLENT, AS DESCRIBED, CONDITION AND WERE EITHER LISTED AND SOLD ON MY SITE OR KEPT FOR MY PERSONAL COLLECTION AND MY HOME DECOR.
EVERYTHING THAT EBTH ASSOCIATES HAVE DONE FOR ME HAS BEEN PERFECT. ALL OF THEIR COURTEOUS, SMILING, KNOWLEDGABLE, AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES THAT I HAVE DEALT WITH, SINCE DAY 1 OF MY MEMBERSHIP, MAKE SURE THAT THEY SOLVE ANY & ALL PROBLEMS (INCLUDING IMMEDIATE FULL REFUNDS FOR DAMAGED MERCHANDISE), CONCERNS, OR JUST QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE HAD. THANK YOU AND KUDOS TO ALL FOR A JOB WELL DONE! THEY HAVE ME FOR LIFE.
Buyer beware! Assume electronics described as "untested" don't work AT ALL. Paid $95 for an "untested" iPhone 6. I assumed untested meant they didn't test phone calls, text messages, WiFi connection. Nope! Untested means it doesn't power up. According to Patrick and Nicole from EBTH, if an electronic item powers on, they note "untested, powers on". In an email response Nicole wrote: "Stating this information (untested) is giving the bidder that it did not work when listed". In other words, their version of "untested" means nothing about it works. There is nothing on their site that describes what they mean by "untested". IMO there's little chance they did not attempt to power this item and they owe it to buyers to clarify. But then who would pay $95 for a cell phone that doesn't work?
Update: A quick trip to the Genius Bar and I learned this phone has "gone swimming"! The Apple tech showed me there is a visual indicator inside the sim tray - a label that turns from white to red when the phone gets wet. They do not vet the products they sell.
My John Stobart print, $500, arrived in perfect shape. Many Thanks. This was my first purchase from EBTH and I am very, very pleased.
Customer service is a foreign concept. Absolutely TERRIBLE experience on multiple occasions. Done with this company.
'YOU WON"! MY FIRST THING I BID ON ARRIVED TODAY. IN FACT 2 BOXES. EVERTHING WAS WRAPPED VERY WELL. SO WELL I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET TO THE ITEMS! HA I HAD SO MUCH FUN SHOPPING, BIDDING, PRAYING NO ONE ELSE WOULD BID ON MY ITEMS! THANKS EBTH!
Answer: I am just got through selling items through EBTH, and it has been the worst experience I have ever had. They grouped many expensive items together because they thought it was in the best interest of the company not the seller. I am also currently seeking legal council to potentially file suit against the company for fraudulent business practices. They didn't even give me a copy of their so called "contract", that I had to sign and send in with my items, until there was only 1 hour left in my sale. They left out the most expensive pieces I sent in and didn't sell them at all, didn't find out why until sale was over. As if all this weren't enough, they took real diamonds from the items I sent in to sell and replaced them with "white sapphires". So needless to say, they're probably about to get hit with a heavy lawsuit!
Answer: I have filed with the BBB and IC3 for internet fraud, and I am writing the Attorney General of Ohio. These guys make the used car salesman of the 60's look like saints. The products are marginal, and the service i mean customer service is non-existent. I also filed a fraud case with my bank, because for 3 week I got the run-around about them shipping the item, I never got it, and they said they couldn't return my money. Not true! In the United States, keeping the money and keeping the merchandise is illegal. Don't let the technology and glam of the website fool you, they are deceptive, dishonest, and you get the 'EVERYTHING BUT WHAT YOU PAID FOR.
Answer: Just to let you know ebth customers and consignors are dropping like flies. The arrogant company just terminated nearly 300 employees and closed markets in many states. That means its not growing, its failing.
Answer: I've not sold with them and never would. I've read the responses from people who sold items with these people and if you would like to be ripped off, then by all means go ahead. You'd fair much better by locating an auction house in your area. My experience with this particular bunch of thieves is on the buying end. Photos do not show the big picture, if there is a flaw in any item it will not be in the description and most certainly will not be photographed. The exorbitant shipping charges are insane. I'm not sure if as a seller you would see any profit from shipping, my guess is it goes right into their pockets. This is a very dishonest bunch from top to bottom. Please find a reputable dealer to sell you cherished items, I cannot stress this enough.
Answer: I bid on a pair of Swarovski Crystal Penguins. I was unaware that the larger Penguin was supposed to have a "tail" at the back. It's difficult to see with the cutting of the crystal so I only noticed it when I saw another like item and it had the tail. I closely inspected and can see what I thought was a cut in the crystal is really not smooth and is where the tail should be. The item was delivered on May 12. I put in a claim on July 2 and the company is standing on their 30 day return policy even though they listed as good condition and it was not broken in the box, I've spent thousands of dollars at their site and probably would have continued. The customer service individual refused to let me speak to a manager and just kept repeating the same thing. Now for 134 dollars, I am done with ever buying another thing. Not a good way to run a business. If they are going out... it's no wonder.
