ioffer.com Informative - Terrible site, illegal

Review by bobbieh56 on 2005-07-19
I just read a review from Mommyhaven, and I absolutely agree.
I am a member of ebay and I was surfing around for other sites to buy and sell on, when I ran across ioffer. what a mistake that was.
I bought some items from a certain individual only to find after posting them on ebay that they were illegal.
well ebay pulled them and I waslivid.
I value my good name on ebay.
well i wrote several letters to customer service in ioffer to no avail. UNBELIEVABLE, customer service didn't respond and neither did the person that I bought from.
I still have 20.00 on account there just incase I was going to sell something but after that, I asked for the money back to no avail. I can't even terminate my account!!!
well 1 month later I wejnt into ioffer and wrote all kinds of bad feedback on the person that sold me 470.00 worth of illegal items and said " you have your items back, I want my money back to no avail.
Finally they left me bad feedback and called me LOCO for saying that items were illegal.
I inturn got to leave the whole story for all to see and they refunded total amount.
I got very Lucky
Now all I have to do is find away to get out of the illegal hell whole.
thanks for reading this long letter but I felt that good people need to know to stay away.

What as it? The person who is responsible for researching the law on the legality of what they sell is the seller. If you buy something illegal you are the one at fault. Keep in mind, that Ebay and ioffer, and the rest of them, have a blanket policy on prohibited items.

Just because something is illegal in Alabama doesn't make it illegal in California. However, if it IS illegal anywhere in the US, you can't sell it on the US site. If it is legal overseas, you have to list on one of the international sites.

Some of Ebay's prohibited items are downright ignorant. Ebay has become stupid to the point of mentally deficient.

what? you expected ebay to keep your illegal sale up because you didn't know the law?

the seller had good feedback so I thought it would be ok to use. I never received my goods and they took my $150. if anyone knows who the seller greatsalemall is on ioffer, please get my $150 and turn them into the authorities!!
