I’m extremely disappointed with Catawiki. I bought what was advertised as an “acrylic painting on canvas,” but what I received was just a printed image with no artistic or real value. It’s heartbreaking because I trusted this platform, thinking they ensured some level of verification and authenticity for the items they sell. After digging deeper, I’ve seen that the same seller has other listings described as original artworks, but they all look like images generated by AI. It’s infuriating to realize that anyone can upload anything and deceive buyers, while Catawiki washes their hands of any responsibility. What makes it worse is that the seller completely ignores my messages, and Catawiki takes weeks to reply, only to tell me to sort it out directly with the seller. I feel utterly unprotected as a buyer. All I want is my money back and to leave this awful experience behind. I won’t be buying from Catawiki again and strongly advise others to be extremely cautious.
