I purchased a microphone and they refunded my money, saying they already sold the item elsewhere. This was my first time doing business with them so I won't be back.

I purchased a guitar on reverb a few days ago. My phone autofilled the incorrect shipping address. No big deal, right? Wrong. I was advised to contact the seller, and request a refund. I assumed they would follow up with the seller. Wrong again. As of right now, the seller shipped my guitar and will not confirm to where he shipped it, my pending refund does not include the sales tax that I was charged for so I've been robbed, and Reverb hasn't contacted me with any useful information in 4 days. Regardless of how the situation is resolved for me, I can't say enough how terrible this service is. Everyone should avoid using this site! Oh one more thing! The seller didn't include a case in the price of the guitar, was forced to ship the guitar in its case, and is now asking me for MORE MONEY without telling me where the guitar is going to even show up.

They have a buyer policy that claims to protect your purchase with the guarantee of getting what you paid for. When a problem occurs and you request a refund based in fraud by the seller, Reverb allows the seller to refuse your request and than does NOTHING about it!! They will send useless emails claimt they are looking into it and it just goes round n round to no avail. Another business making clains that are simply FALSE!!

I bought a banjo through reverb which was listed as new and I paid the new price. When I received the banjo the box was marked used and had a price listed on it that was half of what I actually paid. After many attempts to get a partial refund I have up as the seller was located many many miles away. Reverb has the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. Reverb defends only the seller and cares nothing about the buyer. I will never shop on reverb again, and I have told many other friends to buy from any site except reverb. Horrible customer service!

They used to have a working phone # you could call & get someone in Chicago. Haven't sold anything for awhile, but won't do it again. Since I'm a return seller as soon as the package shows in transit I'm supposed to get paid, that was a almost 2 days ago. Tried to get help from the chat line. All they did was quote their payment policies, which they're not even following. Won't do business with them again & suggest you doing either, unless they remember where they came from and go back to those ways.

This company is horrible to deal with. Long ago when Reverb got started they had a practical approach to dealing with problems. Now, they are beyond difficult. We tried to buy a guitar and our account was immediately suspended for no given reason and with little or no ability to communicate with the company. This is the second bad experience with them. I did not report the first but now I will. The first experience was over a guitar that we sold, customer lied about the condition and Reverb sided with the customer. The customer didn't even return everything we sent them and Reverb still sided with them even though it was reported that the customer kept some of the order. So we closed the account. Reverb stated if we wanted to use Reverb again to open a new account...that's what we did and now look at how they are behaving. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this pathetic excuse for a shopping site.

Do you want to do business with a vendor who offers no help live phone support if there's something amiss with a transaction? Because that's reverb.com There was numerical error in my bank acct. # filed with them when they were to send a payout. I fixed the error 2 weeks ago and they said they had to wait for a 'bounce back' from my bank before resubmitting payment. Then they just dropped the ball on me. Not responding to my emails.

Reverb use to be a great place to sell and buy equipment but lately the customer base leaves a lot to be desired. Reverb has chosen to back and support the buyers regardless of proof or inspection of any claims. The long time seller is now the bad guy no matter what. The relations department is rude and non caring towards the seller.stick with eBay and avoid the Reverb hassle.

Terrible experience. I purchased a $300+ Banjo only to be lied to by the online rep at UL Tratone. I was given misinformation repeatedly only to be surprised when Reverb canceled my order issuing a 'refund' followed by another email telling me they can't source the banjo directing me to find it somewhere else. While I want to be understanding during these uncertain times I find it incredibly unprofessional to hunt down orders with an online specialty company. The customer service was horrible. Buyer beware.

Similar story. I purchased an item before I could fix the problem on my computer and once I did within the 24 hours of it being purchased, it was too late to cancel. Once I received the package the only reply I got from customer service was you can contact the seller to see if you can get a refund. Sending it back with shipping and handling would cost half as much is what the item originally was purchased for. They wouldn't even give me a shipping label. So now I'm stuck with this item and trying to sell it and make my money back. Thanks reverb, you guys really suck.

I purchased a book on Reverb and then two days later I was informed that the company didn't actually have the book that I ordered. Then, the company tried to sell me something other than what I wanted. When I went to find someone else who had it, I discovered that they were still advertising it on Reverb.

DISGUSTING I got scammed by a seller, Reverb did not accept a return and blocked my account. Returned the guitar within my legal right. They just say I'm not willing to work with them. AVOID REVERB

Terrible site. I ordered something and there was a problem with the card I was using but I resolved it immediately. Because of that they suspended me and I can’t get back. No one responds. Terrible company!

Refunded me the wrong amount. I had 2 orders. One for 125 and another for 55. The order for 125 was cancelled but issued a refund for 55. I tried to explain what happened but they kept telling me I was incorrect. I was told that it would be up to me to prove to my bank that reverb refunded the correct amount. The staff is very rude. One guy told me I was reading my bank wrong. Others told me it was impossible I had a refund already.

Sellers beware!! I have had a nightmare selling gear on Reverb. I sold a synth that was damaged during shipping. Things happen. I issued the buyer a refund and paid for return shipping. Reverb has debited my account everyday for the last 5 days for the refund amount. It's a weekend and no one is there and their so called "customer engagement specialists" could care less. She told me "just wait until the pending charges drop off".

AVOID REVERB!, BUT IF YOU MUST?, REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE WARNED!, I am currently taking steps with legal action against a transaction which I made on REVERB, I was completely manipulated and now I am left with a damaged guitar which seller knew was damaged but intentionally SOLD IT AS BRAND NEW, I was shockingly deceived with skillful advertising into making a purchase which is in total violation of the consumer rights act 2015 and Reverb totally allows this type of criminal activity against honest customers and allow their sellers to get away with it, Reverb will answer to the disgusting service which they provided for me and do not help honest paying customers!!, they try to bribe you and are only worried about saving their own skin which is what happened to me, ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE WHICH IS HOW TO DESCRIBE REVERB
