Trading standards - what is it going to take? this dodgy company is getting away with day light robbery . The number of customer complaints just keeps increasing . John Pye sells junk that is fit for the tip without battling an eye lid and they bid on the goods themselves to push the price up ! .

no star review please dont waste your money with these rip off merchants who send you items that are damaged and missing parts making them entirely useless then fob you off hiding behind their unfair T and C's you may as well take your money and burn on the fire, at least then you not left with rubbish you have to dispose of at more cost,they could take a photo of a laptop box, describe it as a laptop, then send you the box with 2 bricks in it, when you complain;they will hide behind their inequitable T and C's and blame the consumer.

This auction house sells dangerous goods, it hides behind the banner of you should inspect. NO. No one should be allowed to sell goods that endangers lives. If there is not a law against this then there should be. Bought 3 electrical items, 2 I rapidly unplugged due to smell of burning and third had so many wires showing , didn't dare plug in. Do not buy electrical items from John Pye.

Invoice number is 100266 / EDIN505_SR24_CNC. I bought and paid 117.12 pounds for an Electric cooker Ceramic Hob, transport does not make anything clear, when I claim the order, they answered I have to go 220 miles to pick it up, I said I will pay for the transport so that I can send it or cancel the purchase, they answered They cannot do it and they cannot cancel the purchase either, they are scammers from the first time, I will do it I have to do it legally, careful careful they are scammers

The company are deceptive, they hide under the disguise of an auction house with crafty terms and conditions to milk innocent people off their hard earned money. I bought items from them running into hundreds of pounds. These items end up being worthless . Never patronise them.

Have you ever had an interaction with a company where you come away flabbergasted at how they have a business? Where you wonder who is it that is ever using the company for more than one transaction? That is my experience with John Pye. I got the auction bug and started bidding on stuff, half of which I wanted, half I thought I could resell for a profit on eBay. Of course, it states clearly that the items are returns/seized etc. So you are buying with some risk in mind. What I didn't expect was that the VAST MAJORITY of electrical items I bought would be faulty. In fact, out of almost £2,000 spent and around 40 items I literally only have a handful of items that aren't faulty. But that is not the worst part. The worst part was that several of the items I bought just didn't turn up. In one instance it was just missing from the delivery and in the other two boxes arrived empty. Like, literally empty.. I contacted John Pye and, of course, getting in touch with them is extremely difficult. Despite putting an email address of their website it isn't monitored. You'll just get an automated reply saying to fill in a form. Upon informing John Pye of the missing items I was offered a replacement. This wouldn't be so bad if it was a like for like replacement. However, the £180 4k Webcam that came in an empty box was offered to be replaced by one that costs £40 on Amazon, likewise the £50 missing mouse was offered a replacement of a £10 mouse. I opted for a refund, but of course, nothing happened. Keep in mind at by this point we are already weeks into a process of trying to resolve the issue, the person who offered the refund didn't keep to his word of emailing me the offer and it took another few weeks to get the refund to my bank after several stupid excuses, such as the bank details being wrong (they weren't) and it needing to be sent to 'head office' to process where they only process refunds twice a week. My favourite excuse was that I hadn't given my middle name and therefore the payment had failed (complete nonsense). The other item (from a different location) that didn't turn went through a whole saga of apparently checking camera footage to see what happened to the item. At the time I thought this was a good thing. It would show that my item wasn't packaged with the other items. Of course, now I know this was just part of John Pye's classic stalling technique. Maybe other customers give up? So, if you are looking at John Pye's auctions and fancying some of the items for yourself or to resell my advice is do not touch them with a bargepole.. I tried to sell some of the items I thought weren't faulty on eBay only to get refund requests as they did turn out to be faulty or missing parts. Avoid!

BEWARE I would like to go lower than 1 star but cant. They describe an item incorrectly take your money and then refuse to do anything saying that its the buyers responsibility to check. All they say is that they are an auction house not a retail shop and that its your job to check the description is correct.

These cowboys will sell you items with the most basic parts missing. The extent of their involvement seeming to be to see if an item powers on or not, not whether any human can actually make use of it. They also turn up with what looks like severe transport damage or at least damage that wasn't shown in pictures/description on their website (so good luck proving that) if they were on ebay they would have been removed for all the negative feedback and item not as described. All of the above while charging a 22%premium on every item bid... wow just wow! I wont make the same mistake twice and hopefully this will save some other people.
