Auctions

Auctions and online marketplaces have totally changed the way we shop—whether you're hunting for deals, collectibles, or selling your own stuff. I’m curious how everyone here uses these platforms. Do you prefer traditional auction sites like eBay or newer marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, etc.?

Have you ever scored a great deal or maybe got burned by a bad seller? I’ve had mixed experiences and would love to hear how others handle payment methods, shipping, and avoiding scams. Also, for sellers—what tips do you have for getting your listings noticed or pricing things right? Whether you’re buying vintage finds or flipping items for profit, let’s talk about what’s worked for you and what you’d do differently next time.

Auctions can be hit or miss, especially when it comes to shipping delays or weird item descriptions. I've had my fair share of sketchy experiences, but honestly, I've stuck with https://aliexpress.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html for a lot of stuff because it usually comes through—especially if you check reviews and seller ratings. That said, I did have a hiccup with a package once, and reaching out through their support wasn't too painful. If anyone’s curious about what to expect or how others have dealt with similar stuff, browsing customer service experiences helped me know what I was getting into.
