Be sure to purchase tracking when you ship! I was recently scammed because I trusted a buyer who was sweet as pie. She bid on and won two of my auctions. I mailed the items out and of course she turned around and claimed she never received them. I recommend adding NormaJean1 to your blocked list and save yourself the hassle. And of course, purchase tracking so they can’t claim they didn’t receive the item. I’ve learned my lesson the hard way!

BEWARE of Listia for their horrible customers service and protection against scammers. Also if you come across a Listian that goes by klistrud from Hurlock MD she is a scammer and I would stay away from her!
Listia Reviews & Complaints
Convinced she is just trying to get free items. I told her I added extra things to the listing for her patience and that lot was worth at least 75$ and 15$ shipping. I’m very upset. I already sent the item. I will not be duped on Listia. I’ll never sell again on listia because of dishonest buyers like treetrunks. I have nothing but good feedback on the same item. And I even sent extra items like blankets.
Listia Reviews & Complaints
Crappy customer service. Support tickets closed for no reason because ListiaKevin or ListiaRosie are too lazy to do their jobs. The feedback system is idiotic. If someone doesn’t contact you, then why let them leave feedback and then refuse to remove it even though your terms of service say that you will? This site is a mickey mouse operation. I’d rather throw out my stuff than use this crappy site.

Horrible site, they have all fake products or unusable crappy products. Listia will not refund your credits! I lost over 7000 credits.

I am unable to do any peanut lab surveys all I get is blue circles going around in circles . I never had this problem the old way. I earned lots of credits and won many bids. I really enjoyed it the old way . Now I can’t do the surveys and you don’t get as many credits . It’s just not as much fun as it used to be but I’m still on here just not as much . Please fix so I can at least do the surveys . Thanks.

I ended up PAYING out of pocket $100.00 of my money because 1. I am not a shipping company with scales, packing material, boxes and other items for shipping items that are being GIVEN away. You cannot walk into UPS say, “gee wiz guys, can you weigh, box this for me and give me an estimate and I will pay you after I get paypal from someone else?” I was given limited time to ship items, one of them was ‘free’ because it was a coat, the rest I ATE. Yes, I billed the members only to find out, neither of them can ‘understand English’ enough to pay me. They could communicate just fine bidding, asking questions, as soon as I sent PAYPAL request, it got quiet, too quiet. NO one is paying me. Yes I have sent things through normal channels of Ebay. Usually most of us reimburse our shipping costs through careful pricing, to neither gouge the client nor gouge the seller. Here there is no way to protect yourself. One of my bidders had a history of not paying for her shipping (twice!) and Listia, say’s “hey, what’s the prob? no big deal, just re list your items.” Honestly, I had to pull two so called auctions for EXPENSIVE items, because of harassment by bidders: the items to them are FREE, this is what gets me…continual $#*!ing about everything under the sun, and then …no English, me pay how? No I will not ever do this again. My ‘give aways’ will be true give aways to shelters, to food banks, to battered shelters, to churches. This little exercise cost me money, time, stress and worse, emotional distress dealing with the folks who simply like using others.

I had 113, 197 in credits so I bid on stuff. Then I had to pay $3.88 before I could get my monkey seeds. I won another bid something I really wanted now it”s saying I owe $10.88 I”m not paying again when I should of had enough credits. It was free shipping… Please figure this out and give me my money back with some of my credits or I”m going to delete my account and tell my friends and family then they will cancel.

I had been a member since 2012, my account was verified 5 different ways, I had over 1800 Total Auctions completed with 100% positive feedback and accumulated over 4 million credits from successful sold auctions. Then one day all of a sudden they start holding back my credits on completed auctions! Which meant that I had to wait for the buyer to say that they got the item or I had to wait for a minimum of 20 days to pass! I submitted repeated requests for help or an answer and I ALWAYS got the same canned answer that said: “Immediate transfer of credits is a courtesy that we extend to our most Trusted Sellers. At times, even for Trusted Sellers, credits will go into a pending state. This will occur from time to time based on your trusted credit amount, credits being used on the items you are currently bidding on, and your completion rate. It’s not due to anything you’ve done wrong.” Well, since they never gave me an answer and I constantly asked and pushed for one, they banned me from commenting.THEN they banned me from bidding! This website is a joke! Aside from treating their members like garbage, there are 1000’s of scammers on that site. Scammers that are allowed to post bogus auctions without any verification whatsoever. All you need is an email address and BOOM, you’re a listia seller! How do you know they are scammers? They usually have NO feedback, have recently joined the site, have NO verification (if they do, it’s usually a bogus Facebook profile) and have stock or stolen photos of their items (usually high end electronics/phone items). Then to top it off, the IDIOT “mods” almost always post on the following on bogus auctions: “To make sure you get the most bids and credits from your listings, please add more information about your item. Details such as make, model number, condition, and any known issues will really help you get more credits. This also reduces the number of questions that your bidders have to ask. For the best possible results, you should also post a clear, close-up picture of the item in your possession. We recommend photos of your item powered on, powered off, and of the back and sides. All of the pictures should be taken on the same background. We also highly recommended writing your Listia username on a piece of paper showing it next to your item. Doing so will help bidders know that you really have the item in your possession. All of this will prevent your listing from getting flagged. The last thing we want is for your listing to get deleted! Thanks for your cooperation and hope you hit the jackpot with this listing!” So not only do you have to be weary of the sellers but the mindless “mods” as well. Because of this, I have stopped buying/selling on listia

I have been on here for years loved it then a few changes happened ok I learned to deal with it but I completed an offer promising 625 xnk after the item was delivered. Got the item great. Now where’s my points I have been fighting for months over this listia says contact the company the company says the are not affiliated I even sent screenshots from the company saying item was delivered still no everywhere I go no help and there is no customer service number to call got excited when I found one and it was disconnected so no points for me and they don’t even read what I write just say go here I said I did they say it again or get nasty we told you contact the company not us but it’s your xnk and the company will not help either and I am finding more and more people aren’t sending things after I won I get they have seven days to get it in the mail but I have had to dispute more auctions in the last 6 months then in the last few years. I think if I don’t get my promised 625 xnk when I get the chance I am going to bid and burn thru my remaining xnk then end my account this is ridiculous.

I have used the site for 2 years and the administrative responses are usually automated and don’t help solve the issue when the disputer/other party is clearly breaking the rules. I had one buyer not pay for shipping and even though the rules clearly state that the seller will get to keep the credits in a case like that they refunded the winner. Another case was a buyer claiming he received a wrong size item and wanted a refund. I submitted a ticket with evidence showing that the size ring i sent (which the buyer also stated he received) was indeed the correct size. Instead of requesting a photo from the buyer to prove he received the wrong size or give the seller an opportunity to send the correct size they asked the buyer to return the item. What if everyone was to file a dispute stating they received the wrong item and provided no proof? Sellers pay money for shipping and supplies and lets not talk about the wasted time and effort answering questions.

I just want to make a comment about Listia.com I have won several auctions on Listia which I received the items no problem at all. But, when winning an auction on Listia I never hear from the seller at all and never know if the item is shipped or what.. I just think that if you are selling something then give customer service to the winner by communicating with them. Let them know something. I do sell on Listia and I always communicate with all my winners for I know I would like the same respect to customer service. I have bid on a tv and the winner said to send him a money order for the shipping so I sent a money order for the total amount he said for shipping. It has been a week now and I haven’t heard from him at all. I don’t know if he is shipping it to me or not so I don’t know if I should file a dispute or wait. I am just so furious over no communication…

I opened a Listia account about a month ago. I had heard about them through a family member that uses them and another auction website. I posted over $50 in cosmetics for about 6 or 7 days. Auction went well. I read the rules and policies. Thought I had followed them until the item sold, I mailed it out with tracking and it stated account suspended. I emailed them and all I got back is too bad it”s permanent and cannot be reopened. So I am out all my items plus shipping costs. They say I have multiple accounts which I do not. The family member that has a Listia account does not reside with me nor does she have anything to do with my account which is why they deleted it. Im sorry but is this not a scam and called stealing????? I cannot believe a company like this exists! I am beyond upset about losing so many items and I have no way to get them back or get back the points I was awarded for the sale.
Listia Reviews & Complaints
I placed 2 bids my first day. Since then (A week), no matter how much (140 points higher than what is displayed) or how many different items I bid on, I am always outbid by a literal few points (1-5). Support has responded (24 hrs) but no help at all.
