I have made over 10 purchases with ioffer.I have a excellent rating with ebay.

Every single one of my purchases with ioffer has turned out to be a scam. I know the the Chanel merchandise is fake, BUT, I still expect to get what is pictured or EVEN close to what is pictured. But instead of boots that I have paid $80.00 for, I get a cheap chain. Instead of a purse that I have paid $150.00 for I get a 3" laughing buddha( I probably deserved that for being so ***) BUT what gets me, is that 5 days AFTER each purchase, ioffer sends a "Buyer could be fraudulent" which is TO LATE.

They know these guys are crooks and yet they continue to support them. And then when I send a complaint to THEM, they halt my account, so that I cannot say anything on the site. It is deplorable and despicable. They are as bad as the crooks sending the junk!.

ALL my purchases came through as a cheap chain of a buddha piece of junk/. They need to shut down and be held responsible for their actions". Because they know exactly what is going on!. I think it would make a good news story or even 60 mins..

They are all scam artists'. I have never had a problem in 10 years on Ebay and now I have lost about $1,000/.

on ioffer?.Hopefully, others can be warned. 3869ac6

All the buyer that buy from Ioffer, should go thru Paypal payment, because is the safe way to do it, if any seller want you to pay without using the Paypal payment you should not even deal with them.

Using PayPal would not help you at all. I know from experience. PayPal will do nothing to help you when you are not buying an eBay item, unless you receive nothing. (That's why the poster got junk but not nothing.) I had a problem with a PayPal purchase on a non-eBay item. I paid for $300 for something. I was sent the wrong thing (that was selling for $100). I tried contacting the vendor; no response. I contacted PayPal and was told that since I received SOMETHING there was nothing they would do about it. As long as there is a tracking number with proof that something, anything, is delivered, PayPal will do nothing. I asked if they sent me an empty box with a tracking number if PayPal would help me. I was told, by PayPal, that no, they would not. PayPal is not as safe as you think it is.

Don't trust the sellers. If the seller didn't reply your message or tell you what s/he can do in a timely manner, open a dispute asap. In my case, the seller deliberately prolonged the case as I was trying to negotiate with him about the return and refund. I did warn him that I will open a dispute and he replied in a tone that sounded very sincere and willing to help, so I forgot to rush him. Then it turned out that the dispute deadline passed in paypal and in ioffer i couldnt open a dispute either since he deleted the item right after the transaction.

Get Paypal involved, they are the only ones that can help u.
It took almost a month to get my package from ioffer, when I went to dispute my transaction with PayPal about a purchase from ioffer I made on 3/17/13, the seller quickly sends the items on 4/12/13. Almost a whole month after I gave them their money.
For some reason it takes so long b/c it has to be seen by American customs first then send to the person. But I won't be buying things on ioffer with just anyone, only one seller that send my items and did answer me when I requested a tracking number.

yes, if it is damaged,the wrong item, or you get nothing at all they will take care of it. file a dispute and keep up with it every day don't file and forget about it because if you are sent something whether or not it is the right thing or not they will want you to send it back with tracking and give them the tracking number within a certain period of time. if you send the item back to late or don't give them the tracking until the time has expired you will get nothing back.

no paypal doesn't do much, but call your bank and have the charges reversed - tell them you cannot contact seller after 3 attempts and it is been such and such length of time since you should have received your item.
I've had a few problems, but if the buyer won't resolve the problem, I just call my bank. It works everytime.
good luck!!!!!!

i love ioffer, i buy all the time, just certin toys but still, i never had an issue, i enjoy the seller that i do business with and all is great so i guess this message is for all the people that bought that COACH purse or THAT LOUIS VUITTON hand bag, some expensive duvets and only spent 100-150$ on it, your the *** that was too cheap to go spent the money on the real thing and thought the chinese rip off bag would sneak past your friends and you could sit and bost on how expensive it was and you got such a great deal from this guy in the city........ all knowing its a cheap knock off ya, you shouldnt cry about it, you only have yourself to blame. you want cheap you get cheap so just deal with it and next time figure out where your seller is from, if the live in the most counterfeited country in the world (CHINA) its probibly not the smartest thing to do. ask your self, would a rocket scientist buy this or a monkey? if you said monkey- you should be dragged in the middle of your nearest busy street and and shot in the head. the world has enough monkeys. :cry

I bought a versace table cloth and duvet fm a same seller. Paid in total USD110. The tablecloth safely reached me however until today I have yet to receive the duvet. When I contacted the seller through ioffer, like chicken and duck communicating as he u'stands a minimal english words. He said he hv sent items separately and furnished me with one tracking number only. How could that be? One tracking number to cover 2 separate parcel? I contacted ioffer but nothing came back from them hence I hv to report to paypal instead and they are still investigating. This will be my first and last buying items from ioffer as most of the sellers are from countries like China, Istanbul, Bulgaria and they can hardly u'stand english. I had hard time to get my message accross to them! grrrrr..

Wow, we just registered for ioffer. Tried to pay with paypal but they did not show they took it! The seller has great ratings, I wonder if you can even go by that! It just showed they took checks and western union. Are they serious, there is NO way we will do that! Sent an e-mail to seller asking about paypal, so after reading all this its alot to consider. We had it with Aliexpress, so there is no reason to go back to the China sellers. Thanks for the info!

You definitely cannot go by their ratings. I purchased some Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones almost two months ago from a seller who had a 98 rating....nothing but good comments, but I have still yet to receive my merchandise or my money back. Ioffer is no better than the seller because I cannot even file a complaint or post anything negative on his wall. The whole thing is a scam.

I have bought several items on iOffer and each time I received my merchandise quickly and as described. One thing I did was read all the info from the site about sellers & buyers because we don't know who we're dealing with.

Why would you buy something from China??
Why are you paying someone you don't know more than $20.00?
Why would you send someone you don't know money thru Western Union?

I look at the buyers and pick the ones who have really strong ratings. But that doesn't mean I can't get scammed. That's why I haven't bought anything other than a hard to find CD or DVD. Think before you buy. If you can't afford to lose the money don't buy unless you're guaranteed to get your money back some way. Use a credit card & Paypal. Credit crd companies refund money when fraud is involved. They don't take long either. Also buy from sites you know like amazon when buying something expensive. Amazon will also credit money back quickly.

I made a purchase but only paid it about a month later through western union and by then I realised that the seller had already cancelled the transaction. I have knowledge that the seller has already withdrawn the money so I know that he gets my messages and I have been trying to contact him since but he won't respond.
Any chances he will still send me the merchandise even though the transaction had been cancelled before I paid for it?
