Closed my account with the reason multiaccount, because I invited a 2 friends and he bided on a steam game I had listed didnt realize it was my auction, he called me saying "I have 5000 i GIN-ed your game" I instantly logged in in my android listia app to see that I'm suspended!

I feel sad that people have had bad times with listia :( i love it i have givin stuff away on there and i have won things i think it is really good and a lot of fun.
Listia people please note one thing, listia staff can steal read people's mail and email in listia.com.
"TANSTAAFL"
To enjoy freebies in listia, you have to get ready to write in mail things that does not even violate listia rules. If your mail writes listia bad things yes you are suspended next.
Bidding, too many people bid, when you put a bid that is highest that someone would bid over you at the last. I dont like it.
Privacy Risks - listia staff can read your mail messages. Be very careful when you message listia people. Try ask them to write in facebook or email address if you want to write bad things on listia
Unwanted programs - ask peopel to paypal to get extra listia credits is enough to speak this
Adult content - lingerie, bra, under, panties, sexy thong, condoms, pregnant items.
Misleading claims - if someone have same shipping address we listia would see if the receiver are different person,
Truth - 2 listia member with same shipping address even if different receivers, both listia account are suspended.
This is from my freinds and my real life experience in listia
Listia a lot of people dislike must have reasons. Nobody would want to hate something without reasons.
But listia misled people that if 2 account in listia use same shipping address they would check, but truth is they would suspend 2+ accounts with same house number already.
If you and other listia member have same shipping address, they would not give you any chance.
Listia.com website is ultimate dodger and charlatan. Its mechanism fib and fallacious auctions to bid. Their target dissimulating it is real in order to steal your stuff by instigate you selling your item gives you credits and points to bid on another stuff and items throughout the website. Then you submit it and few days ago, your items being sold and you being granted the (veneer) credits. That is it. Your items sold away for nothing. Your shoddy credits are useless even if it is one billion or so. It doesn't work by this scam website's software.
This bandit website is used to embezzle no money but diverse and variable products.
Don't be victim and oaf by this mobster and gangster such website and don't let these meretricious and flamboyant campaigns to deceive you. It is definitely scam. And all business websites are scammmmmmmmm. That is what I tell you to save your time from any obsession and thought to enroll in any minute of your life at any one of whatever any business website. Same traits and lascivious characters.
Listia also deleted my account and according to the reviews on here I'm not the only one. I already made one review for this sorry excuse of a site. So which is it listia? On one review listias comment was that they allowed up to four accounts before deleting someone and the other comment on someone else review was that y'all only allow one. Which is it? I didn't use my old account BC I for my passwords and everything and even to my Facebook so I started a new one and got deleted. Listia can't make up their minds what their own rules are. Apparently. BC one comment from listia says up to four accounts and one say you can only have one. Which one is it listia? My family and friends that it was the dumbest thing they heard of about listia deleting my account so they also deleted theirs on their own. Listia is nothing but a scam to get you to do their surveys for credits that you don't even get and they take your credits once you do work credits up. Listia is a sorry excuse for a website and there other sites beside listia.
JJ is very correct. People sell counterfeits all the time. If you DARE question the seller about authenticity, you are cussed at, the seller attempts to humiliate you, you are blocked AND Listia does nothing to remove the listing.
Instead of reporting listings, I file reports with Homeland Security/FBI who is responsible for counterfeit trafficking (which yes, that's what Listia is)
"Tom" is full of crap. Listia is very unresponsive and bans the 'troublemakers', errrrr I mean those that dare report the counterfeits. In short, they don't care.
Listia is a joke.
Current fakes (found in a quick 5 minute search)

Addendum: all the above listings, which are painfully obviously COUNTERFEIT, are still up despite reporting. See how pro-active Listia is?
I signed up for this because of a Facebook ad. When I signed up, they gave me 1000 credits for free. I quickly found out that you can't get anything good for only 1,000 credits. So, I had the option of buying more, completing surveys, or listing stuff and "selling" it.
I completed over 30 surveys, but I did not get the promised 2,000 or more credits per survey. Most of the time I just got 100 credits. Sometimes, I did not get any. I had about 2800 credits, but even that wasn't enough to get anything good. So, I listed some stuff. I decided to list good stuff I wasn't using in hopes of getting a lot of credits. My auctions ended and I "sold: the items for almost 100,000 credits. But, the credits never showed up in my account. I waited for days, but nothing. The buyers all were throwing fits because Listia had taken their credits to pay. But, since Listia did not deliver the credits to me, I was not going to ship the items. After contacting Listia, I was told that sellers have to ship the items without getting paid. Supposedly, after sending the item, if the buyer gets it, then you get the credits. Well, I sent one item to test that... guess what, the "buyer" got the item, but then filed for a refund because they did not like it. Listia gave them back the credits and I never got the item back.
This is a SCAM. Then, they wouldn't close my account when I asked.
Horrible customer service, and sellers, didn't receive a product and they refused to refund my credits that I bought. They suck and I am contacting the BBB
I started listia and told my friend about it, he said he would fan me if I did back, so I did, I wanted one of his items, I bidded, the next day, my and his account was banned, I emailed support and they repied, you can't have more than one account, I lost all my points I made selling my valuable items.
Hi Nathaniel. We're sorry to hear that your account was removed, but if you read our rules and terms, users are not allowed to bid and win auctions connected their as it is considered transferring of credits. We're sorry that your account was removed for violating our terms, but in order to maintain a safe site, users must adhere to our rules. Thank you.
I loved listia. I get online everyday... now im just irrate!
AVOID THE SELLER DARKANGELTATTOOS ON LISTIA HE WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR SHIPPING AND THEN SEND YOU A FAULTY PRODUCT AND REFUSE TO REFUND YOUR CREDITS... I AM DISPUTING WITH LISTIA NOW AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY ANOTHER $15.45 SHIPPING FEE TO SEND HIM IT BACK ON TOP OF THE $15.45 I ALREADY PAID TO SHIP IT TO MYSELF... SO THAT MEANS I WOULD BE PAYING $30.90 AND 37,650 CREDITS FOR SOMETHING I AM GIVING BACK! I DONT THINK SO! CHECK OUT MY PROOF http://listiarockmissjess.tripod.com/
It is not per se an issue with Listia as a site itself, however, there are people on the site that are children with accounts and cannot be held liable by law. If you are a Listia user, BE AWARE of a user named msblunt. Her Real name is Kayla Worex, who is actually 10yrs old, and her father Richie Worex is a drug dealer in Newport Tennessee. Kayla pulls all kinds of underhanded things such as bid and win items, then claims it never arrives. She just took me for 500K. She has a lot of Positive ratings, but I noticed they are accompanied by negative comments. STAY AWAY FROM HER.
I was banned for being underage! Are you kidding me how ridiculous is that? There are no innapropiate items on Listia so why would they ban underage people? I am a very mature person and can handle selling and bidding on a website, but how ridiculous is that you get banned by just being underage. On the app store it says it is for 4+ but it is for 18+ false advertising! I bought a few items and even when my order was being processed they still ban you! They took my credits which I worked hard for on my account! This is an awful app stay away from it! It also encourages scamming and it has awful customer service!
Update: I emailed them and they told me to send a picture of my full ID, so I did and then they said they can't because of a typo I made that says I am underage. So, they basically just made me waste my time, first they ask me for an ID then they just try to cover it up with something else. I am indeed angered by this, make sure to double check and not make any typos or else they will be banning you and then asking for an ID, DO NOT send an ID because they then will make a lame excuse about it.
ITS RELLY GOOD. But the site follows a algorithm. You relly can only do a certen amount of surveys. It all depends on what you do say you do 7 surveys you might not get ALL points but you still do. So all I am saying IS RELLY GOOD but you it wisely :)
Hi Matthew. Thanks for the feedback and review. Hope you continue to enjoy the site and gain points through surveys and offers :)
I was having problems getting account credited for offers I completed. Opened a ticket on Nov 20, I explained thoroughly what was happening. They replied on Nov 23 to send screenshots and the confirmation emails, I did on Nov 24. I did not hear a word until Dec 6, and that is because I replied to them asking if I was ever going to receive my credits. They replied back on Dec 8 asking me what problems I was having. Pissed me off, I replied asking if they actually read the emails people send. They replied Dec 9 telling me it is out of there hands to contact Trial Pay. Seriously, after NINETEEN DAYS, they tell me to contact the original company that I had tried 4 times on Nov 19 and every time I clicked on the Trial Pay link that was sent to me, it would just say an error and wouldn't let me continue. So, on Dec 9 I sent another email, thanking them for everything they DID NOT DO to help me. Within an hour my account was banned. Had just under 50,000 credits.
So if you ask me, don't ever piss them off or you will be banned.
Hi,
We're sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with our service, but we do not simply ban accounts for no reason. If you'd like a further explanation of why your account may have been removed, you can always submit a support ticket. As for credit offers, you will always have to contact the sponsoring company to inquire about credits owed, first. Thank you for your review.
I have Personally mailed out many free gifts from bidders on Listia. And I surely am Not part of a Scam. Thank you.
Hi Mary A.,
Thanks for sharing information on your experience and some of the things to expect from using Listia. Glad to hear you're having fun! We hope your experiences continues to be a good one!
Sincerely,
Tom
This is the quote Tom gave "We do not have an actual credit-to-cash or cash-to-credit ratio as it is determined by the ever-changing dynamic marketplace and it will vary from category to category, and from listing to listing. As the marketplace credits fluctuate, so will the credits available for purchase. "
And this was copied and pasted off the Listia site
Current rate:
3,400 Credits / US$1
(as of Sep 2,2015 at 5:02am)
That sure looks like a credit to cash ratio Tom. An you said " We do not have an actual credit-to-cash or cash-to-credit ratio" Looks like someone got caught in a lie. I even have a screen shot, and printed the page.
I also want to let everyone know the user auctiontech sells fake/counterfeit items. Listia was warned of the issue with some of his auctions and they did nothing! He is auctioning slabbed coins from bogus grading companies. BEWARE this user and BEWARE LISTIA! I will be adding more reviews with more users names. Someone needs to protect the users, and we sure know that Listia won't!
Hi Eric,
We do not have an actual credit-to-cash or cash-to-credit ratio as it is determined by the ever-changing dynamic marketplace and it will vary from category to category, and from listing to listing. As the marketplace credits fluctuate, so will the credits available for purchase.
As for counterfeit items, we do not allow them and do our best to monitor them. We also rely on our great users to flag the auction if it appears to be against the rules. If you find such auctions, you can always flag as well. To report, or flag, a listing, go to the listing and locate the link at the bottom right of the item description text that reads “Flag as inappropriate.” Click the reason why the listing needs to be flagged and one of our moderators will review the listing to see if it needs to be removed, edited, or investigated further.
We hope that you can continue to use and enjoy Listia.
Sincerely,
Tom
Well i see a lot of people complaining about how bad listia is and about the junk being sold well guys its an auction site if you want you can auction off broken glass thats your choice and in the junk there are LOADS of good stuff i got myself about 100$ worth of games from listia sold some stuff and never had a problem most of the guys or girls (dont want to offend anyone xD) were very nice and considerate and for the lolife scumbag scammers you can spot them a mile away so just stay away from them and you will be fine i'v been using listia for 9 months now only 1 time a seller didnt send the item but even that is not problem cus if you dont get your item you just get a full refund o love the site the comunity is good 5 stars(more if i could)
Listia is a scam, I got banned just after I win a $1 amazone GC auction, after that I can't get into this website, luckly I just played one day, it wastes my time, luckly I didn't put money on this stupid wensite.
Hello Sony G,
I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this so can I have your username so that I can look up what happened? I may be able to help you get your account back if it was a mistake. Thanks!
This isn't a fair warning, it is a stage 5 alert...!
Avoid this website at all costs.
The people who run it are complete a$$holes in general, they act like some elitist who could care less about you or what your selling
If a buyer has a problem or issue with an item and it goes into dispute, all they have to say is, "it's not as described", they do not have to provide any proof at all, and the administrators & moderators will instantly refund their credits back to them, let them keep the item and allow you to receive a negative feedback for the transaction.
I even had a buyer state they received the exact item exactly as described and pictured, and their dispute reason was." I don't want to use it" and they got to keep the item, and got their credits back...
Complete scam. Worse then eBay ever was!
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE STATED RULES!
The rules mean nothing...
& do not even think of trying to contact customer support,, the "support' is either a copy and paste response that gives no solution or they do not even respond at all.
I seen another review on here stating the exact same scenario from other reviewers. Seems to be a trend.
Also they offer free credits for downloading stuff onto your computer, which only downloads multiple tracking cookies and tons of extra stuff that locks up your computer and you will just have to restore you computer to a previous restore point to get rid of all the crap the install on your pc.
1 last thing you need to know. You get credits for your items, which in turn you use to buy other items from other sellers... but Listia is constantly devaluing the credits by selling them for cash.
2 months ago you could buy 40,000 credits for $40, now it 76,800 credits for $40. So your credits are worth half as much as they were 2 months ago. And this has been a trend of devaluation for months now.
I have been on listia or 6 years, but after this latest onslaught of horrific incidences, I will be moving on..
Hi Boo S.,
We're sorry to hear your feedback and experience. Can you please provide us with your username? We'd love to better understand your situation.
Thank you,
Tom
Greedy company. I used to spend a lot of time on this site but now the credits are a scammer and nothing is worth the price.
Hi Jennifer. We're happy to hear you love us! But we're sorry about you not receiving your credit offer. If you haven't already, please contact the company that offered the credits so that they can credit your account. If that does not work, please submit a support ticket so we can help you out! Thanks for being a great member!
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 Sherry,
In our Terms of Service, it states that a user can have ONE account. We allow 4 separate accounts per household/address. This does not mean that a user can have up to 4 accounts. If an account is removed, by us or by the request of the user, that still counts as ONE account. Any other created after will be removed for being a multiple account. To read more about account suspensions, you can visit: http://www.listia.com/rules#suspensions
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Tom
