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.
Yeah your site having major issues. For that I'm out! Missing credits from promo sign ups, to magical credit charge after winning item, jumps up *******
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,
They asked me to verify myself. I entered my credit card, they charged me 1$ and then banned me. Dont trust them.
Hi Rico. We're sorry to hear about that. We want to clarify that we make sure the user knows why their account was suspended. If you haven't already, please submit a support ticket for more clarification. Thanks for your understanding.
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!
Hi Brett. I'm so sorry to hear about the inconvenience. Please submit a support ticket if the site is not working for you, that way we can identify the problem further.
I have written 2 reviews for Listia, and the first review I posted, got a reply! But now they REFUSE to write back and even TRY to make amends... or right the wrong that was done to me! My reviews will never change unless something is done!
The people who run the site I scammers! They DO NOT provide fair rulings on conflicts! Even when tracking is used they come down in favor of the other person, no matter how rude or nasty that person maybe
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.
Hi Melissa. We're sorry to hear about this situation. If you haven’t already, please submit a support ticket explaining your account so we can review this for you. Usually if we review your account and it is a duplicate, we will remove the second account. Hopefully we can find the right account for you so your money is returned. Thank you for your understanding.
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
Trading practices.
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.
Hi Robert. We're glad to hear you've sold items and won items for your collection. We love hearing great feedback like this and appreciate you sending in a positive review :)
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.
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.
Use to be. A great site but its trash now you need millions of points to get something and listia has made things harder and harder now it's about them making money and picking thare favorite seller some of the sellers can sell stuff that against the rules but other sellers are not allowed to which is bull because there not even fallowing there own rules
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!
Some lister are honest, but most are ripoffers, so called agents dont help u any. When u request help getting a refund good luck wont happen. If u want ripped off then go their. I have been ripped off too much. NOTHING IS FREE, THATS A LIE, U HAVE TO BY CREDITS, AND FREE SHIPPING, NOT TRUE THEY SEND IT POSTAGE DUE, THEN CALL U A LIAR! I AM THRU. PLEASE TAKE HEED DONT GO, TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE TRUTH.
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.
Answer: Stacy L Some sellers can even display they really sent mail, they take digital photo when they send mail. They can even show out. But because listia recoginze tracking code. Even if you can even display the mail and correct address correct person, showing u had really sent mail, because no tracking code. Listia would still return all credit back to buyer.
Answer: Because listia is a joke. Complete scam..
Answer: Its just a game even the verified people you cant trust to many children on listia and grown men that act like children
Answer: Listia is an online marketplace where you win other people's stuff using credits instead of money. All users on our site act as both a Buyer and Seller. If you are bidding on items you want from our site, you are considered a Buyer. If you are giving away items on our site, you are considered a Seller :)
Answer: They don't deal in cash, unless you want to buy listia credits. That being said, you can make some bank if you have a good product by what credits you make on it. Then, you could use those credits to bid on gift cards and more pricey stuff that has actual value. I use the site for hard to find seeds, and it has been good for me. As for making money? Not so easy to see a real profit.
Answer: I hate that so much. You might want to contact the owners themselves and report it since they may not even be verified, meaning it's not even safe for the seller.
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.
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.
