AUDIOGON and REVERB No Protection

My last seller had the Audiogon insurance, it is worth-less............When they found that the amp was poorly pack they declined all claims..........When you buy a policy you just waste your money be cause if the damage is caused by you they won’t pay.....Its no different with UPS or Fed-ex, you pay them for insurance and you really get nothing.................Fed-ex never pays !!! Most of the items I buy are over 1000.00 and you would be surprise how few times I have ever collected.......Actually never.......There is really no solution if someone doesn’t pack something well........You will generally lose unless you buy on E-bay, Ebay always pays.............W

And I will say that Reverb has made a much bigger effort to return my money for damaged goods.......One of the problems is to get through the paper work , which almost looks like it is designed to confuse..... I buy a lot of items that don't travel well so If you shipper doesn't pack properly, so you have a big chance of losing everything...........W

Never use paypal or a debit card. Both directly draws money from your account. If you have an issue no one cares because its your money. If you use a credit card, its the banks money. You'll get a lot more help to recover your loss.

I have always found PayPal quite helpful ....

Until they make a mistake and expect you to pay for it. They only know one thing. Its not their fault. And its your money and they have no incentive to help you.
