I lost over 400,000 credits and was banned for something I was suspended over months ago and haven't done since. It was weird. I got online to find I was banned. I have been harassed by a moderator and I even filed a complaint but nothing went from it.
I've had my life threatened more than once by scammers and Listia didn't remove them
They put in a new policy of no digital items which is my creative side. The day after the policy took effect and I listed stuff, they were all deleted with no explanation. Then 7 day suspension. I complained to the moderator whom then began to Harrass me. It only provoked him once I filed the complaint then I was banned.
I'm looking to file harassment charges against moderator Taz
And will see what an attorney says about them not protecting members from threats
I've been enjoying Listia since I found it! So far I've been happy with the items that were sent to me and I've also had good luck with folks buying from me! I am happy with listia it is a fun place you should join me here!
Yes you have to pay attention to what you are buying and read all discriptions of the items. I always do research on the item I'm bidding on so I don't spend more than what it's worth. Other than that Love it something to do to get great things I need.
You are buying/selling on there. Its not free and flag all the auctions you want. They wont be taken down even if what there selling is illegat(I have proof). The free thing always makes me laugh. Id love to see them say that in court. Ebay is cheaper and they dont steal from you. Most if not all the people that said they went back after there account being shut down and credits stolen work for listia. The surveys are a scam and youll never see the credits but the videos used to work(as of a few months ago). There is a class action thats in the works I read about but who know if that will ever get off the ground. I was pretty luck only 30k was stolen from me
Hi Joe.
We're sorry you feel this way. Our site is free and the surveys and offers on our site are not scams. We take flagging of auctions seriously and will remove them if they are deemed against the rules. Thanks for your review, as feedback is always appreciated.
Please do not use Listia. I sent out so many items and did not get anything for them. When a few customers claimed they did not get their order before I could even get it to them, Listia took away my points for all of the items I was able to send out which was in the 100s. I ended up complaining to the BBB about them and still did not get any compensation for all of the products I sent out for free and spent tons of shipping costs on. In retaliation for me complaining about them they suspended my account. I lost at least ******* points that I had earned. They encourage their customers to rip you off by allowing them to make untrue accusations against you. They are crooks and I would advise you to proceed with caution before you sign up with them.
Hi Cynthia,
We do not suspend accounts in retaliation to reviews and feedback. All accounts are carefully looked at before a suspension is put on the account. As for users who claim they never received items from you, tracking is the only true way to know an item was actually send and received. We're sorry if your impression of Listia is not of a positive one, but we try to make sure our community is kept safe and continues to enjoy the experience they have with us.
I've done eBay, tried Yardsellr and finally discovered Listia one day about 3 years ago. I've been getting rid of stuff (and getting AWESOME things in return) ever since! Love that there are no fees like ebay. And since they've grown there is now a LOT more traffic. I'm finding Auctions just do better here than other sites and this year I got ALL my Christmas gifts from Listia! I've never had any major issues and if I ever run across a problem, there's always the Listia Assurance policy. Great site!
I tried to log into listia today, my name on the account is littlekaratedaisy. And it says my account is " no longer active " then i tried to log in again later, and it said " your account is suspended " what does this mean, why did it happen, and i need to log on, i have lots of credits on their, and i have an auction going on right now that ends in 1 or 2 days... i will end up getting negative feedback just cause listia " suspended my account " for how long? I dont know. Thats why im ticked off. Please unsuspend my account. Thanks.
Hi Daisy,
Accounts are suspended when there's a violation of our Terms of Service and rules. If you think this is an error on your account, please submit a support ticket and we'll look into things further for you. https://help.listia.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

When I first joined listia back in April of 2014 it started off great up until December of 2015. I ordered a ring for my mom as a Christmas gift and it said it was sterling silver but the ring turned a brass color the first week she wore it. Then I ordered a T-mobile cell phone and never received it and the seller never messaged me back (I waited 28 days for the seller to send it out) and I just ordered some water beads for plants and the seller refuses to send them to me! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE! There are very few honest people on this site! Don't waste your time! The picture isn't great but it is definitely a bronze color now not silver...
Hi Caleb. We're sorry to hear of your transactions. If you never received your items, we hope that you were able to request a refund and get your credits back. We rely on our users' feedback in order to take any actions on listings/users. We hope your future transactions are more successful.
I have been a member of Listia for about 3yrs now, and like it very much. I would say the down side is that they let all these "from China" things in, and it totally clogs up the site. I usually bid on low/no shipping things, and have been pleased with what I received the majority of the time. One of thew main things I bid on are baby clothes, and they have all been in awesome or new condition.
I won a knife and when i received it had bona floor cleaner instead of my knife i asked for my credits to be refunded the agent amir wants me to return the knife that the seller claims they shipped but ive tod both seller and agent multiple times i didnt receive the knife i won it was hardwood cleaner i received and hes taking the side of the seller i for one will be boycotting listia
Hi Joseph,
We're sorry that you are unhappy with the Admin's decision. When your auction goes into dispute, you and the other party are agreeing to the Admin's actions and decision. Therefore, in order proceed with the dispute, you will need to comply with the Admin's request. If you ever have more questions/concerns, you can reach us in a support ticket here: https://help.listia.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
They advertise about you getting items for free when it's most certainly not free! You have to sell your stuff just to get points to spend on other stuff. It's pretty expensive. You sell your stuff and postage on your own dime just so they can say they never got it!
And even if you sell stuff, it costs more to buy points.
I got bullied a lot on here and it was terrible.
AND I didn't want to disclose my full name for my username due to privacy so I made a new account and they froze my accounts. It's bullcrap!
They didn't respect my privacy and refuse to honor my privacy or request! I hate this site and will NEVER EVER go back!
Bought credits with my credit card. Won auctions and then I couldn't log back in! I got message that my account had been suspended! I contacted them about WHY? My reply from them was they said I had another account there! WTH? No I do not! I them replied that I expected to have my credit card refunded for the credits I bought and paid for in the account they suspended... I got another reply saying " any credits bought was Non Refundable" WTH? So they took my money and then took my account so I couldn't use the credits I BOUGHT! Scam! Stay away from this place
I have been a member of Listia for only a few days and I love it! I mainly collect Antique, Gold, Silver and Bronze British and Irish Coins, Gold British Banknotes and Bars no matter what size and shape they are. I have already managed to buy a couple of new additions for my beautiful growing collection and will continue collecting these beautiful items located on Listia. All the purchases I have made were prompt, fast and easy for both me as a buyer and the sellers. Listia is a very awesome site and I hope it stays up for a very long time :). Listia and the Listia Team you guys rock!
I was sold a counterfiet game that was broken. I was told in order to get my credits back (55,050) I have to pay for return shipping which is $12 which is ridiculous! I already provide free shipping on my items and pay out of pocket for credits now they're asking me to pay even more money out of my pocket to get my credits back! I will gladly return the counterfeit game that is broken I have no problem with that but its ridiculous to ask the customer to pay to get their credits back! They told me its because a "customer might lie to get their credits back" I sent pictures to prove its broken and they agreed it is broken but I still have to pay to get my credits back! I sold a $100 item and now I have to pay even more money to get what is rightfully mine back! If I don't get my credits back I'm contacting the better business bureau!
Hi Shayla F.,
We're sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the request to return the item. But if an auction goes into dispute, both parties agree to the terms and decision of the Admin. The Admin does their best, using available information, to make the best decision for a dispute. We're sorry that you do not agree. We hope it all works out for you.
Sincerely,
Tom
Its a scam YES! They tempt you with fantasy items!
You will get out bid on every thing! No matter what you bid on--
You get out bid. I know as I have bid on 6 items and every single time
Maybe once or twice-yes but every thing NO the item do not exsist
They are to waist you time!
Hi Hobnose B.,
We're sorry to hear your disappointment in being outbid. Listia is an auction site and therefore in most cases, most everyone who bids will be outbid. This is why we have the Get it Now option, which guarantees your bid to win. We hope you change your mind and stick around.
Sincerely,
Tom
A friend of mine told me about this and recommend I try it out. She said it was a great site and she got a lot of neat stuff on there for free basically. So, I sign up cause I'm basically poor and at first, everything was cool, I didn't have enough credits to buy or bid on most of the things I liked but when I would bid on something I would always be outbid, which is a common thing except it would never show who kept bidding, it would have the first person who outbid me and the time stamp but that would never change even though every time I bid, I would be outbid by 10 credits, even when I would bid most of my credits, I would still somehow be outbid by 10, like it was a computer outbidding me. This happened to me numerous times and eventually, I just quite bothering with the site. No point in being on there when I apparently, keep being outbid by some invisible force.
listia.com is never good to place for online shopping... There are a lot of American and Chinese spam Sellers... Listia don"t have any rough rules for sellers. Some sellers are posted Auctions, But Don't they have any items to sale and some sellers are held purchased items more than10 Days 12 Days. And If ask why don't ship out the item yet, Sellers blaming and Cancel the orders. They don't know how to give good customer service. Some New Sellers are Posted Auctions and They request money for Shipping. After their Auction ended, those sellers are never responding, Some American and Chinese sellers are given Fake tracking details. So buyers need to waiting for purchased items, but Never ever receive. Totally wasting time.
Don't Use Listia for Online Shopping. Warning and Don't waste your time. Listia Administrate Allow for Spammers. They Never get any action to stop Spammers Activities n there site.
Because.
Listia is Spam. Admin is spam,
Hi Apcs. We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience. We make sure that we don't have sellers that spam, and if happen to come across those that do, you're welcome to flag those listings to bring to our attention. If you had an auction where you needed a refund from a seller for fake tracking, please include the link in a support ticket so we can look into it. Thank you.
Sent a used flea market doll instead of CHI set.
BEWARE
Won a CHI hair set, received a used Disney doll like it came straight out of the trash
Came from JOHN C BLAIR from Chittenango NY, thanks John you're now on BLAST!
I can't get enough of this site. I win stuff on listia and turn around and sell it on ebay! The best part about this site is that you spend credits, not money. You can get credits by doing surveys or giving things away. Many newbies thinl they don't have to send the item... Actually, they won't get any credits until the winner says they recieved it.
There is a lot of junk on this website, people selling pictures of themselves, recipes+DIY that you can get online for free, colored on barbies. However, there is an occasional gem. Don't bother with bidding on recipes and DIY most of the time, it will probably be a waste of credits, and ALWAYS check a sellers ratings before you bid.
Just tried using this site for the first time. It's pretty cool that you essentially get stuff totally free for just checking in, filling out your profile, tweeting about the site, listing items, etc. However, I wasn't knocked out by the selection of items available for purchase. Hopefully, the more people hear about the site and how easy it is to use, the more it will gain popularity and the better the selection will become.
