AUDIOGON and REVERB No Protection


When you buy on either of these websites you have "NO" protection for your purchase.....If the deal goes South, so does your money..............I just lost 663.00 on Audiogon over a damaged amplifier that had 1600.00 worth of damage that no body would pay because of poor packing.................I just had a similar experence on Reverb, I returned the damaged speaker and "NO" refund and no good reason.......So if you don't have a out be careful.....

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.

O52:   I will use a credit card more, I have always used P/P which is also hard to work with.........Reverb has made more improvements than anyone, if they will stick with it and not let it slide..........Audiogon has done nothing to improve the very bad system and service and the scam artist know it..............You can lose a lot of money dealing on Audiogon and nobody there cares at all.................I even left neg feed-back for my seller and they took it off, and when I ask about why ??   I got no responce, that's what Audiogon will do for you.............W
