Been active on Listia for about 2 months. Already have well over 100 positive reviews - mostly selling but some buying. Haven't had a problem so far *knocks on wood."
Couple of times I had a question for support and within a couple hours, I had well thought out, informative and helpful responses.
Only issue is that I have one buyer that doesn't confirm delivery within a day or two like everyone else. Not that they open disputes or anything, it just locks up your funds until 20 days after payment way made. That's only 1 buyer out of dozens. Seems like they have really tightened things up in a good way since switching back to Points from Ink. Fill out some surveys and it's like free money. Highly recommend giving it a shot.
Most users must know why I say that, listia id a total fraud and scam, if your membership is free of charge, one day they will ban you say you dishonest and try to scam their resources. Not recommended for everyone to use it.
I bought and sold on Listia for a couple of years There is more and more drop ship stuff from Hong Kong and China than anything else. It's basically the same stuff as Wish sells. After making 2 fairly large purchases and never receiving my merchandise and being told by Listia that I was not getting my credits back, I'm done. Basically they are thieves.
When I joined they said you could redeem 25,000 point for a $50 gift card. Now a couple months later they're saying 30,000 will get you the same thing. I have no doubt that the longer I spend on the site the more points it will take to cash out. SCAM.
A lot of you people here leaving whiny reviews are just either lazy, boring or greedy. Listia has some of the most unique items, down to Earth people. I have ever bet! With most things in life you get back what you put into it. Some of you I can tell didn't and you don't know how to be successful and then you cry that it stinks. Listia ROCKS!
This app has gone completely downhill! They change currencies what seems like every six months and make your current currency worth nothing when they do so. Sellers mostly never send out what you buy and when you try and get your credits back they don't do anything about it... waste of money and time! Don't use this scam app! You are warned!
I was a member for a few years, and received quite a lot of cool stuff. Also contributed numerous items.
I became fed-up with Listia after too many sellers kept the postage fees I sent and failed to send me the items.
I stopped dealing with them altogether when they started the 'ink' system- was unable to figure it out.
I believe the site would be good if a) Listia reimbursed us for postage ripoffs, and b) went back to the former credits system.
I got ride of so much stuff here that I know have well over 1,000,000 credits but they have changed how they do things. They have chance the credits to INK. To change my credits into INK is not even comparable to the value of my credits. Plus the produce that is being offered by people is totally different that it used to be at a higher price and most are charging shipping where before there was a lot of free shipping. I probably will transfer my credits into INK and purchase something to use them up and never use the site again.
This company used to be great according to my friends but when I dealt with them I just came to know that they are theifs. Company has turned into complete joke. Total scam now! Now I avoid buying from other people on here unless I have built a relationship with them because i have been scammed too many times and listia's dispute team does pretty much nothing.
It was a long boring day and I didn't know what to do in order to shorten that day. I believed that it would be cool to search in the internet for some cool shopping centers. Finally, I found listia which seemed to me pretty interesting, because it offers things for exchange for free. So you cna just give them things which you don't need anymore and then they send you some things which you need. It's okay for those people who always buy something but don't use it. I guess that this service should be paid with attention from people, because it really deserves it.
I used this site for several years and traded thousands of items! It used to be the best site on the internet and super enjoyable. But then the Chinese started to list their cheap stuff, the owners switched to XNK instead of credits and the site went downhill rapidly. Sad too, because I spent thousands shipping stuff free to other Listians on this site. Not anymore. I'm rarely on the site now so you can keep the worthless XNK I have left.
I bought a. 999 silver gram bar from what appeared to be a trusted seller but instead received a small silver grain bar about half the size of a gram. When I did all that listia asked me to do they said I didn't send pictures which I sent 3!. Regardless listia closed the account with no other options. The seller of course was happy to have my credits and not worry about making any other corrections as he can keep selling grains for grams and listia isn't incorporated enough like that of ebay, amazon or even etsy to manage a site such as this one. With all that said please do not misunderstand me there are many good sellers and buyers but listia is a great place for the con artist and listia will stand behind them.
Listia used to be very good. Around 2014 they changed everything including points as a medium of trade. These points are very hard to translate to equivalent dollars. That's one problem. However, another problem slowly came to light—Listia has no means to seek review of problems that occur. They have customer service representatives that are either unable or unwilling to provide assistance in enforcing the rules that Listia themselves created. The biggest problem is with the offering of counterfeit coins. Listia allows known offenders to list these forgeries without repercussions. They don't help victims get their money back and only care about keeping the trading going. As a result, the good coin dealers won't do business there.This company should practice what it preaches and enforce their own rules. As of today, this site is known as a place to list forgeries and stolen property. Hopefully my complaint to the IC3 site will get the wheels of justice going. In the meantime don't buy
Anything there unless you can afford to lose that money.
I was excited when someone in my plant swap group referred me. Now I'm just pissed. I have only had 3 auctions. 2 are scammers. Not very good odds. I send what was promised plus extras and 15 days later no credits. One dispute who admitted to getting item and because they are idiots who can't read or be bothered to look it up I lose. No thanks! I love sharing all the wonderful things I have received. I'll stick to plant trades and craigslist.
Stay away! There is no real Listia Assurance. I lost over $50 worth of credits when a seller didn't sell me what was advertised (she actually sent me trash in the mail). Listia still let the seller keep the credits and never responded to my dispute. They also removed my ability to leave feedback for the transaction. It doesn't get any worse that this!
I have been a Member since Apr 16,2011. When I first joined the site it was awesome. I loved "buying" and "selling" things I was interested in, however they messed up with the "buy it now" option. Prices inflated and good items were harder to come by. Yet I stuck by their side. Now with this new crypto-currency taking hold on Listia it's a sinking ship. They're going down a very terrible path.
I have been a member since Aug 2012 and could not be happier. I read these bad reviews and wonder if there is something these folks just don't grasp. Yes, you can buy credits and support the site or earn them for free by taking surveys, completing goals or just watch a video. When you sell, I strongly advise to mail with tracking and save your own butt. Yes I had a buyer state her tracked item was not received. Sad sad sad. So yes there are the scammers on both ends. Just like court you need to prove your case with any dispute. No need to complain when it doesn't go your way. So get the clutter out of your house, list it and get what you want for free. This site is so easy to use. I'm not going anywhere.
Hi Sandi. Thanks for your review! We're glad to hear that you are happy with being a Listia member. And thank you for the advice you share with others. We rely on great users like yourself to allow a great experience for all :)
Listia banned my account because I referred the people who live in my house hold. Only 3 of us signed up but I was somehow banned. They stole money and credits from me. Do not download Listia, it is a scam.
Hi Anna. As written in our rules, if you have referred people who are on the same computer or in the same physical location as you, your referral will not be valid. If a referral is not valid the invited person will see a warning message about this at the top of their signup page. This rule is in place to prevent fraudulent referral activity from creating multiple accounts on the same computer or from the same location. Thank you for your understanding.
This site is a joke. I've always shipped with DC and the TWO times I do not the winners claimed they never got their items. People are just on here looking for ways to get as much stuff for free without even spending the credits. What a joke. If you sell do not trust anyone to actually be honest that the received your items.
This site allows some to sell items & while they forbid others to sell the exact same item.
Items were removed several months back while there are sellers who are selling the exact same items and when those are flagged nothing is done about it.
Very unfair site, shady at best. And what's with all the credit hiking? Until they straighten out their act I will not return as a seller. I want 100% unbiased treatment however that will never happen.
Hi Giana. We're sorry to hear you feel you were treated unfairly. If something is not allowed on the site, we do not discriminate who can and cannot list the items. If you ever see this, please flag the auction and let us know through a support ticket if you still see it up. We hope you will return as a Seller soon.
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 has a rating of 2.1 stars from 415 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Listia most frequently mention customer service, gift card and many people. Listia ranks 166th among Auction sites.
Hi Jimmy D.,
Thanks for your feedback. Could you provide me with your username? I'd like to look into this and get back to you.
Thanks!
