Privacy problems
December 27, 2017

Awful awful site. It used to be good.
But they don't care about your privacy! Contacted them about it and they didn't even touch on it at all.
A lot of scammers on there & people putting recipes that they clearly took from other sites.
Run far away!

It is not per se an issue with Listia as a site itself, however, there are people on the site that are children with accounts and cannot be held liable by law. If you are a Listia user, BE AWARE of a user named msblunt. Her Real name is Kayla Worex, who is actually 10yrs old, and her father Richie Worex is a drug dealer in Newport Tennessee. Kayla pulls all kinds of underhanded things such as bid and win items, then claims it never arrives. She just took me for 500K. She has a lot of Positive ratings, but I noticed they are accompanied by negative comments. STAY AWAY FROM HER.

What is going on at Listia? I have been unable to use my account for about a year. I notified Listia. Why cannot I get them to open my account? I have worked with five or six "helpers" at Listia, explaining why I have been gone, and they have the nerve to tell me they have tried multiple times, that they cannot find a way to reset my password so I can open my account. Can you imagine computer techs that can't reset a password? This sounds illegal, irresponsible and duplicitous. I suppose they have taken my almost 100,000 credits.

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,

Even though I use listia for exposure, it is the slowest, most frustrating site I have ever used! So cumbersome to navigate around! No matter what your doing on the site, the page loading ADDS, and the traffic, has much problems with all the traffic! Just minutes ago, I was replying to a message, hit "reply" error message of to much site traffic - wiped out my whole message! Such a pain to deal with!

I made a account with this site a while ago. But a day ago I tried 20 times to log on and it would tell me user or password was incorrect so I made a new account. And today I put money onto my account and within twenty minutes they banned my account and took my money and credits. And won't give back money or add to old account which right after they banned me I was able to sign in. Talking to my lawyer about what I can do. Site is a sad excuse of a good idea. Maybe if they won't steal your money and allow scammers all over their site take credits from good people. But a mom of two boys can't get on and get craft stuff for her sons gets banned and her money stolen. Sorry pieces of s**t.

I don't understand if you advertise Free Shipping then it should be just that. I have noticed people being bold enough to post within their ads that the cost of a particular item is as such and figured using credit exchange ratio and adding into that figure the shipping cost. Well let me be the first to inform anyone that figuring the cost of free shipping into the listing amounts is not free shipping and the moderators need to get on the ball sorting those people out and insisting they deduct the shipping amounts from their listings. This needs to be dealt with asap. People don't like being taken advantage of. You can sort out only the free shipping listings but many of those post that free shipping has been added to the listing amounts. This is no fair

Scammers!
May 10, 2017

They suspended bidding on my account because of their own error. Someone won my bid then put in a dispute saying they never received it. Then they said it might have come but i didn't check my mail in 2 weeks. Listia gave them credits back and suspended my account. I got it fixed then i was suspended permanately from bidding. They never told me so I put many items on and when I found out I asked to either use my credits or monetary equivalent. They never responded and when I threatened legal action they put a phony listing up under my account then shut me down and kept my credits. I had over 4 million credits I lost out on so they basically committed fraud and theft. Warning, ripping a lot of people off.

This site is terrible. If you are a seller & are in the same category as one of their "special" sellers, beware. LIstia doesn't enforce the rules for them & will allow the other sellers & their minions to harass you until you just give up & leave.

Good Thing Gone Bad
April 13, 2017

I started trading on Listia from Day #3 of its launch. The credit concept is wonderful. I was an avid seller and bidder. Unfortunately, for the last few years, I've had to deal with their out-of-control inflation. I warned them of this three or four years ago, when it started to escalate. They did not act, but only replied that they were keeping an eye on it. Then they compounded the problem by offering 'Get it Now' purchases. Now sellers are asking astronomical amounts for their wares, often leaving out the auction process. I rarely list items anymore and will only bid on low-credit items on occasion. Listia must do something to curb the inflation or I see a demise of the site in the months ahead.

Awful
February 20, 2017

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!

Because Listia is selling credits for their gift cards up front of every other seller, you pay for shipping upfront from your pocket about 2.5 month before your credits are sold. Listia is selling cards digital delivery, so they have money right away and no need to pull any money out of their pocket. It is so ridiculous to even try to get friends involved with Listia, because I would feel guilty to send them such a unfair side! I'm with listia for about 5 years, but with in 2 month I will not put anything anymore, because they only wasting my own money! If you see reply on comments from listia, it is never to someone who is unhappy with Listia. I wish, they would give me explanation I deserve. Weekly I ship and pay with my money for shipping, in average $30-$35 from my pocket. Money for Credits I will get for these shipments in about 2 month!

Not exactly thrilled
January 22, 2017

I sold an item for over 50,000 points. Been selling items for over a year without any problems. Anyhow, I mailed out the item to the winner and she claims she never got it. She disputed it and got her credits back even though I provided a receipt from the post office. I was supposed to buy tracking as well! I never had to do this before on ANY of my listings. Ok, so how am I supposed to know if this lady is lying or not?! I provided proof on my end, yet get screwed out of money paid for postage, plus the item? So not fair. I've listed about 7 items within the past few weeks, and about half of them disputed their winnings. One guy tried to say I gave him a wrong game code. I didn't. He didn't get his points back. Another lady claimed I sent her a dirty item, when in fact, it was brand new. I'm real tired of dishonest people on Listia, and if it continues, am cancelling my account. People just want something for free and have figured out how to do so on Listia. Be cautious if you use this website.

I've been a member for over 5 years and I remember the days where one can find a good coffee maker and spend about 10k credits for it. Now, the credits are so worthless, the last auction I won was a mouse pad and I spent over 20k credits for it. I don't even bother doing the offers (or Lista) any longer because they pay jack and credits are now probably worth 1/10th of a penny each. Auctions with a GIN of 500k credits are now GINS of 5,000,000 for the same item! You guys really messed it up big time. Never again.

From the business

Listia is a marketplace for Free Stuff where you can give away stuff you don't need anymore and get stuff you want in return for free. It's fun, free and very easy to use.
