Listia this site has to be one of the most unorganized and even less maintained

This site has to be one of the most unorganized and even less maintained! at first I loved using it, and still am! I have gotten quite a few cute things on there. but the people who bid and win unless you put a tracking number on the item you send out will (EVERY TIME) claim they never got the package so you lose your item and your credits. the mods take forever to get back to something, and when they finally do it is nothing helpful! I am just letting my listia run its course I have said on the rest of my auctions that they will not be sent due to Listia's poor management skills, and lack of actual work on their end! so I am officially done with all of the junk on this site, it use to be fun but the BS you have to put up with UNREAL!

That is So TRUE! always get a tracking number, always photograph the envelope, my second auction won me 1010 credits, I mailed the item out immediately and the person said that they never got it! I've got family out of state, I mail things and cards all the time, NEVER has anything I've mailed family gotten lost in the mail...yet with this site, two items so far got "lost". Funny thing is, they were items I did not place tracking numbers on. And it's been a couple months, and they have not showed back up here either. Go figure. One person claimed that a seedling I sent them disappeared, she said she even shook out the little flower pot I had it planted in...lost 1500 credits on that one, always photograph what you send out, not only did I lose those credits, I was out the 11 bucks I paid to ship that thing. Lots of scam artists troll that site.

Listia do not respond to my problems

Listia states that i have won credits for giving feedback to other members, for checking in, and making BIDS.. Yet they never give me these credits. I have written them several times and they do not respond. I also spent $10.00 for extra credits and only received half of the credits.
They completed ignore me when I write to them.
What can I do?

Listia this site is badly administered by a group of moderators who have little or no sense of logic, or fairness

This site is badly administered by a group of moderators who have little or no sense of logic, or fairness. Sellers are allowed to auction things which are totally unusable, with no penalty. Support requests are often ignored, or can take as long as 10 days to be reiognized. After over a year on this site, I have concluded that it is easier, less frustrating, and ultimately, less expensive to simply purchase those items I need or desire. Don't waste your time!

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

The moderators are a joke! The one they have authenticating the purses don't know real from fake! Support tickets are useless! They allow minors to open accounts and rip people off! They allow copyright infringement! They have there pets and let them break the rules yet hold the true honest sellers to strict guidelines! Lots of good honest, rule following sellers are leaving, soon it will be nothing but scammers, minors and the ones that "order your product after the auction ends" (a select few pets they have get to do this) on there. A nice recent change they made in the rules is this one: you can sell pez with candy (although anything edible isn't allowed) but pez w/candy is an exception because it's collectible..well there are people that collect candy bar wrappers and such..there not allowed and heaven forbid some child eats some tainted pez candy..Listia could be in for some big trouble. I feel some kind of class action lawsuit coming against Listia for discrimination, copyright infringement or such as soon as someone gets fed up enough to get a good attorney!

Listia this is the worst website ever

Well I bid on several auctions and never won. What got me is when I had a maximum bid of 1109 and the item sold to SOMEONE ELSE at 578. It said I was out bid. I put in only 1 bid and put my maximum price because I knew it would bid up to that for me automatically. I contacted customer support with no response. 6 emails later and they will not return any emails. I cant close my account...I have 6 auctions that I tried to delete but finally gave up and said on my auctions what was going on and not to bid and no item will be sent. This is the WORST website EVER! I even signed up for their bonus programs to get "free" credits and never got them but have contracts now with columbia house dvd, and several book clubs but still no credits. GARBAGE!

My experience is worst. My first 6 auction won. 4 already are in dispute. People just either don't respond or they say they don't have the money to ship the item. And they will send it whenever they got money in the bank. Don't use this site. There are plenty of fraudulent activities going on. Auction people with no integrity.

i have never had a problem with listia .. i get everything i bid on. and i rec my credits back for an item i bid on, the girl never ans any texts or messages so i req my credits back and got them. just like any other site theres people who try to scam you for your credits, you just have to look into their history as a seller . and if you dont find what your looking for then move on. Its not like ordering new stuff this is like going to a yard sale per say. you just use credits youve earned to bid with. if you were ripped off of your credits, then it sounds like you didnt go through the right steps to get your credits back.. and you didnt check out the person selling product either . people get ripped of on all selling sites, this isnt the first and wont be the last... if people werent so dishonest we wouldnt have this problem would we .!

I have had several disputes on Listia and they always quickly respond, especially when you go throw the proper channels on the support site.
I have yet to have an unfixable problem. A lot of the auctions are scams but if you follow the proper channels you always receive your credits back.
My advice: read the rules. Read the descriptions. Wait until the end to vote and vote as much as you're willing to spend.

Listia I am always outbid by a literal few points

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.

I recently won an item that arrived broken and unrepairable. I paid the seller $5.50 to ship it. I disputed the auction, and did receive my points back, BUT with the stipulation that I return the item to seller at my own expense, with delivery confirmation. Total cost to me would have been $13.50 for a bad experience. The moderators administer the site both unprofessionally and arbitrarily. Support requests are often ignored, or unnecessarily delayed. To date, my request to close my account has been totally ignored
I have found that given the time it takes to bid, the amounts spent on postage one way or the other, and the sheer amount of junk I have received, that I am financially better off by simply purchasing items that I want or need. Don't waste your time on this site!

I win on that website all the time and I sell on that website all the time. I am not ripping anyone off. The website has 'real' people registered on it so how can it be a set-up scam? You just need to know what you are bidding on and not blindly bid on things that seem obviously seem too good to be true.

Very true, the site is a scam. I have been outbid by literally a couple of seconds before the auction ends on everything I bid on. The people that are saying it's a good site are the ones working with Listia.

Listia I won a &authentic juicy couture necklace& and got it and to find out it was not real

Waste of time. I won a "authentic juicy couture necklace" and got it and to find out it was not real. So filed a dispute and lost so the lady got to keep my credits even though I spent about half mine on a piece of $#*! fake necklace.

I'm sorry that happened to you! Yeah, I recently got screwed over too from a lady who intentionally misrepresented an item that I won. I filed a case and lost as well! I don't understand why I lost (I thought that Listia had an assurance policy that protected bidders from sellers who intentionally misrepresent items)? I guess that their policy is all lip service. I was even willing to send the earrings back to her on my dime!

People who usually violate the rules tend to say negative things about websites no matter who they are. I have been on Listia for some time now, and have some nice items listed. Not all listians sell junk. It is not a rip off. The only bad thing I can say about Listia is the shipping costs will kill you. And some of the sellers on their ask way too much for their items. Otherwise, I can say I have talked to some of the nicest people online, and have had good experiences with getting what I ordered. I say to those of you who accuse sites of being scams should consider following the rules so that you don't get caught and in trouble and suspended, then you won't have anything to complain about.

This auction :http://www.listia.com/auction/15796494-train-lovers-necklace-last-one-for-noworiginally I used 4255 and is leading on the lead (2067) then do you know what happened. listia removed my name saying that I got multiple accounts.Geez, you want people pay money to your page. but you do that to people when they nearly win an item, what kind of devil service is listia. people better think. when you dont pay money, they will also suspend you like how I got suspended.I only bid on ONE item. on that damn site, they treat people like that. how many times would they really think that they and the whole site has problems by keep suspending innocent people.when will listia admins understand that everyone should have a chance to winYES LISTIA IS SCAM. A TERRIBLE SCAM THAT BRINGS HORRIBLE NIGHTMARES TO ANY OF ANY NORMAL PEOPLEAgree, we believe that listia staff who suspend people without heart, do not know how people feel when they suspend people suddenly and no reason.staff can never be able to understand how we ordinary suspended members feel. they only speak that people must be having mistakes to be suspended. and even pretend to be unbanned members which annoys other people who had really used listia and even got suspended.we dont need fake people (listia staff is exactly what FAKE PEOPLE / FAKE HEART PEOPLE means)staff must be safe and secure and not being banned or suspended. people always got suspended. staff never got suspended. by this truth, staff in listia has no qualification to be we suspended ordinary listia members or unbanned ordinary listia members.the more listia staff does onto the posts those are unfavorable to their page, the more people would just underlook themI would not recommend people spend any paypal cash to listia.
