“23 hour after creating an acct to sell items i had i received a scam message through their platform which could have went bad had i not cause suspicion of it. Then when i did make a sale, i did not get my money. i still haven’t. The buyer has confirmed received of the item and thanked me for the careful packaging and still get no money. it’s ridiculous to wait this long and to this extent for my money. Not happy at all.”

“Don’t trust prices on Reverb and avoid items sold by Music Fan Yesterday I bought a used $2,000 Gibson J 45 standard guitar that was advertised on Reverb; sold by Music Fan. The expense posted to my credit card. I received a confirmation of sale and I thought I was all set. Today, I received an email saying : sorry the ad was inaccurate, the guitar wasn’t described correctly (they advertised a better model than they actually had on hand) so we are cancelling the sale and are refunding your money. Here is the problem: the seller (Music Fan) decided after selling me the guitar that they had underpriced it. So they abruptly cancelled the sale. As of now, Reverb has not taken steps on my behalf to rectify this situation. Thus the following cautionary tale. Buyers should not trust the prices shown on Reverb for any of the items they market. Buyers should not expect sellers, such as Music Fan, to honor their sales commitments, and buyers should not expect Reverb to hold unethical sellers responsible. In short: do not do business with Reverb and Music Fan. You can easily be defrauded. P.S. I replied to the seller immediately saying I would happily accept the lesser model (Gibson J 45 studio instead of the promised Gibson J 45 standard - which is the more expensive guitar). But the seller insisted on cancelling the entire order. Didn’t ask if i would be ok with the studio model. Just more evidence that the seller was looking for an out. An absolutely shameful way of treating a paying customer who thought they were buying what was actually advertised.”

“Reverb isolates the buyer from the seller and makes it difficult to contact a seller. I placed an order and got no response from the seller - Somehow Reverb did not link the order to my account so I could track it, but I was charged. Evidently the seller may never have received my order. It took me 2 hours of chat time to get this resolved and get a refund. Don't do business with this company. Contact a reputable music store who will make sure your order is handled properly. All reverb cares is to get their cut from the sale. Buyers beware of this company.”

An absolutely shameful way of treating a paying customer who thought they were buying what was actually advertised. And Reverb did not back me, the buyer, in this dispute. I am more than disappointed. i am angry. i feel violated. Buyer beware: do not trust/ do business with either of these two entities. Music Fan and Reverb — both cannot be trusted.”

“Bad company to do business with.They do not take responsibility for wrong. I paid for a Dj Controller that I still not receive. They took my $ but keep putting blame on postal service. You can not talk to a person just bots, I’ll never do business with theses bots no more.”Shame on you Reverb!!!!”

“Reverb.com are low lifes. I spent thousands of dollars and after purchasing a dbx 166 from kellen boersma missing one rack ear and the unit bit the dust they indefinitely suspended my account. All my purchases gone, my profile picture still up. No option to completely deactivate my picture.”

“Reverb has absolutely NO customer support for sellers. They have my money, but are refusing to send it to my bank until I send a copy of my passport. I refused, as I am targeted by fraudsters daily, and I don't want them selling my information. I will not use them again! They are raking in the dash from you and providing No customer support, apart from a robot chat. Crazy and frustrating!”

“I'm not surprised to see all the bad press here about reverb.com. Customer service is the worst ever. You might eventually get a response from a real human being or be able to talk to someone via chat but you'll have to jump through hoops before that happens. Reverb's payout system absolutely sucks! I've had a little success with sales and thankfully I never purchased anything from them so all is well there but overall reverb and their policies suck!!”

“Terrible sellers who either don't send items or are indifferent to the postal service losing items, and do not issue refunds. Stick to eBay.”

“Absolutely NO help from Reverb on their BS chat line. If you are looking to purchase something AVOID this site….. anywhere else would be better. Seller never shipped….just ghosted me and ran off with my money and Reverb is not stepping in to help.”

“I bought a synth from Flatbush Junction Gear Emporium on Reverb. They are both irresponsible and unprofessional.I have not recieved the item. The seller Jared @ FJGE never bothered to tell me he put the wrong address on it. Then I found out it was being sent to Portland Oregon. I live 40 minutes away from them in New York. I am trying to get a refund now but Reverb tells me I cannot get a refund until the seller gets the synth that he sent to the WRONG address across the country TWICE. It’s been weeks since I ordered and I don’t have item or refund yet.”

“I recently sold a custom shop Stratocaster on Reverb. Somehow the funds were sent to my old closed bank account. I have contacted them several times to resolve this error and it has been 3 weeks ongoing. No resolution yet. I will never use Reverb again, and I strongly recommend everyone else avoid doing business with them.”

“have sold 3 guitars and 2 amps on Reverb. When I went to purchase a guitar and it arrived, it was unplayable and thought it was going to blow my amp. I was able to return that guitar to the seller, and he apologized saying he didn’t have adequate staff to make sure all guitars were in working order, so whatever, I got my money back( it was a $2300 guitar btw). I then submitted an order for a microphone, and paid for it, that I needed for up upcoming gigs this weekend. The seller would not respond to messages that I sent this week, finally I just asked for a refund. Reverb offered little to no help with getting my money back. The seller has not shipped anything and still won’t respond to my refund request, I assume he is not going to answer reverbs inquiries either. So I am stuck with no mic for this weekend and can’t get my money to buy another one. Now they tell me they will get back with me in 3 to 4 days, so who knows when I will actually get my money back. I am absolutely done with Reverb. Bottom line, be very wary of who you buy from. Check to make sure they have a history of reviews. I really would not buy from the site, many are scams and Reverb doesn’t do much to set things right imo.”

“Needed to add Tax exemption to my purchase, its been 7 days already and nothing, lost the opportunity to buy the guitar because the seller didn’t want to wait for the incompetente reverb team to take 5 min to upload the tax exemption in the system, i do although have grounds to suit. So wait for me Reverb.”

“after spending nearly 5 years building my store, my domain gets hacked and I have to shut it off. I have a backup email to keep my store open. so I thought. Reverb customer support is worthless. now all the time I've spent building a store with 100% positive customer reviews, now I have to seek another storefront. thanks for nothing reverb.”

“I posted my ad like they said in compliance give them all my bank information, gave them my credit card information, give my emails phone number everything and all I can talk to is AI and never get an answer I got a dozen emails from Reverb saying you're getting there you're getting there you're close but I'm not in good standing I've done everything but giving them a pint of blood so I withdrew my ad from Reverb which took me quite a while to get it put together professionally and I'll never visit that site again I'm done, and I'm sorry that it had to go that way.

“Can't even make a purchase here! First time using this site and I make a $2K+ purchase. First says purchase didn't go through, but I received a message from my bank that did. Turns out it didn't go through so I purchase again and two days later receive an email that my purchase was cancelled and to contact support. I contact support and am told that my "concern is already escalated to our internal team. The email that you have received is from them. To avoid confusion for this order, I will relay to them that you have reached out... They will contact you within 24-48 hours regarding this." Sorry, not waiting another two days to find out how I might be able to successfully make a purchase here.”

“not safe and not protected to purchase from not safe to purchase from, you are not protected, not at all! i purchased a mirage subwoofer and it arrived not working, try to return it and they will do their best -------- to give you hard time! to discourage you from returning the defective item. lucky it was only $100 which i can afford to treat it as giving money to beggars. will never use them again and will not recommend them to anyone.”
