PunctumauctioneersReview 1

PROS: None

CONS:

1. You have to provide credit card information even before you can bid. Registration to bid requires a credit card. No mention of debit cards.

2. In addition to the 20% winner's charge there's also a Consignor's Fee of 10% (or 5%) for lots below $500. To add insult to injury there's also a 3% charge if you pay with a credit card, which is the only payment method (apart from cash payment such as cash in mail or bank wire transfer) accepted by this auctioneer. Expect to be charged up to 33% extra or MORE after you win since there's also VAT and Customs charges.

3. The registration functionality is really sloppy and register button leads to nowhere at first.

4. Starting bids are already too high while none of the starting bids start at $1 or €1 and are set at already full value or even higher than usual full value.

5. Site design is really unattractive and unintuitive.

Since I decided to not participate in Punctum auctions I did not inspect the rest of their interface functionality and user experience.
