“Never again. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Impossible to reach the seller, designed to confuse and delay. Luckily put on my Amex so I could stop payment. Tell all your friends, do not go here!”
“The company is absolute trash... I tried 2 times to buy something and both times they canceled my order and put my profile under review..Without any reason..After this they asked for my ID and bank account, for "security reasons", but this is absolutely illegal, because they are just a trade site, not government or bank...So, for me this is a gang of crooks, who collect personal information behind online trade.”
“Item I bid on was paid for & never shipped. Reverb refunded & cancelled with no explanation. Seller was obviously fraudulent about listing, as it was a heavy item & i prepaid shipping. My guess is seller saw how much it was to ship & backed out of sale. Their guidelines & terms of use mean nothing if they hold the buyer to a much higher standard than the seller. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, UNLESS YOU LIKE DISHONEST COMPANIES!!!!”
“The worst customer service ever. Avoid like the plague. I was checking on my order since it had been more than 5-8 business days and they just canceled my order with no explanation.”
“Reverb told me I had a credit that I could use on whatever, when I went to use it i was told that it had to be used on only certain items...switch and bait and unethical. They will be lit up on social media (ripoffreport.com, facebook, instagram, etc.). Hard working American's being ripped off my these guys, come on man!”
“DO NOT SELL THROUGH REVERB!!!!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOOD LUCK GETTING YOUR MONEY. I gave them a star because Negative stars aren't an option. I wondered why a lot of the gear seemed overpriced but after selling a horn I now know that it's because reverb holds your money for a very long time. When I contacted them the guy I spoke with was not friendly and told me that I might get my money in another 48 hours. They have had the payment over a week and the buyer has had the instrument for 5 days. They just figured out how to get the selling fees and what would be the PayPal fees and then hold onto the money for a while. Go back to ebay where you get your money before some guy across the country has an opportunity to sell your merchandise before you even get your payment.”
“Been a member for eight years and I actually never had a bad experience with either a seller or a buyer. My gripe is with the company Reverb (ETSY) itself and the changes to how sellers are paid. I find it unprofessional and ridiculous that a buyer pays immediately and it takes almost a week for a seller to receive their funds. Please bring back PayPal! Plus the sellers fees have almost doubled since new ownership took over. The (new) Reverb is a totally different company, very unprofessional, absolutely useless customer service, and very slow to pay you your money. It’s too bad the new owners didn’t take advantage of improving the platform. Instead they ruined something that was already good enough.”
“Live on Long Island- Bought cymbals beginning of July 2021 - tried them out - wanted to return them.
First Seller states, I might not be the Seller (yet I have the Receipt, in the box, with name & receipt. 1st customer svce rep (rating 1) offered Me $25 fir inconvenience. 2d Rep smarter Re helping me (but offered inly $50); Called My credit card company, put it in dispute - July 20, Reverb, all of a Sudden, refunded Me. Next - returned cymbals via priority; got a message from reverb - saying - Seller said to keep cymbals (these were about $600)- I responded to rep - I keep My word & just jarmically - glad they were out of My house - also- if this was Ebay or Amazon, this Seller would be removed & be banned from Selling forca ling time. My prediction, was if I hadn’t returned them, Seller would then wNt them back: Best comment from Seller, ‘I’m not a store & cannot afford to take them back’; Reverb stated, We are allowing Seller, to stay on Reverb. This is business- musicians want to try out & return. What is this dysfunction??! BBB has about 150 complaints about Reverb & Seller Ratings also & a few others - poor poor customer service. Whoever is in charge, if this was elementary school & I was the teacher/principal (like they’re 19-15yrsvv CB old- I want to call their parents - sad but true. Bottom line: it’s a dysfunctional Sellers World there!! 3athings I came away with are: be careful when buying; contact Your credit card company-Re refunds & for those in NY - there’s a law that states- Yiu can return anything - YES anythw/in 30 DAYS- again - Your credit card company will definitely be Your best friend, in a ‘Reverb’ return situation”
“No words in our vocabulary low enough, to describe how pathetic Reverb is........never again....! The default one star rating, is way to good.....useless”
“If you want to sell something on the reverb website and you make an honest mistake on your listing, it gets suspended.
The website has no mechanism for removing it, so you are stuck until someone at the company decides to help you.
The process isn't complicated, you simply make the correction on the offending listing, notify them, then wait, wait, wait........silence.........
In the mean time, your listings with the mistakes remain in your account with no way to get rid of them and potential buyers look elsewhere.
The site is great otherwise.”
“Reverb are a devious and unscrupulous company. They try every way to avoid paying the money they owe you. Customer service is awful - they wouldn't know how to navigate themselves out of a cul-de-sac. Absolutely terrible business practice.”
“The people who sell on Reverb don't even stock what they sell, you see a AD for something you want and then AD says oh we have 8 or 10 item's in stock in reality they don't have anything in stock. The sellers just want you to put your order in so they can get your money. And put your on a waiting list till they get the item in stock. I waited 10 weeks to get a guitar cab when i was told they had 3 in stock.”
“Absolute trash. Seller didn't send item. Reverb spent over a week stalling and promising they would sort out a refund. Of course, they had no intention of doing any such thing. Crooks, avoid at all costs”
“Reverb used to be well operated. The founder sold it.
Since then, it’s gone down hill dramatically.
i’ve been a customer since the very beginning and they no longer value customers. They completely disabled telephone and after hours support and it’s nearly impossible to get anything more than a return email or a char session.
The chat sessions are condescending and patronizing and they do not resolve issues very well.
Their billing is screwed up and they do not send invoices. Rather, they just suspend accounts.
It keeps getting worse all the time.”
“I HATE ETSY
No customer service. They ended dozens of my listing.
Reverb customer service locks out account for review for no reason.
Stay away from REVERB.”
