IOffer Complaint - IOffer allow delinquents to post as legitimate sellers. iOffer is a scam

Complaint
Review by sexyjules on 2010-10-03
CALIFORNIA -- IOffer is a scam run by street gangs delinquents that take no responsibility for the quality or honesty of their sellers. I purchase a pair of boots from their site at the cost of $218. after a few days of not getting any information from the seller I contacted Pay pay for a refund. I was told that as long as I have a tracking number they wouldn't give a refund. After 3 weeks I receive a box with a pair of USED old boots "not before I have to sign for the delivery"
I contacted iOffer but they never had giving me an answer as to why they let this delinquents post on their site!. iOffer is as guilty as the delinquent that run freely under their control on their site, posting as legitimate business when in fact are a bunch of the thief protected by iOffer.
In retaliation of my complains iOffer had deleted all my notes/complains from their site, and had put my account under review because of the complain.

On the last note from iOffer they informed me the the seller has been suspended from iOffer for "violating iOffer's policies" but that I should contact the seller for a refund (pathetic) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't recommend this site anybody, you are much better protected at E-bay. There If you purchase an item and you pay with Pay pal they an the item is not as describe Pay pal will refund your money, but they do not cover you if you purchase an item in any other site.
My recommendation is never to use iOffer.. they are a bunch delinquents that protect other delinquents.

See below iOffer response to my complain

I never heard of this site. I would not buy clothing or boots from people I do not know. You never know what you are going to get as you found out.

I don't know why you think the site is run by a bunch of street gang delinquents, but from what I've read, anyone can use the site to buy, sell or trade.

What did the description of the boots say? Did they ad say they were brand new? If they did, but you received used boots, you have options, according to the page of terms and conditions. Read through it. Hopefully you can resolve this issue.

Never heard of them either, but they seem to be on top of things suspending the seller, and explaining your options. Their responsibilities are clearly spelled out in their "User Agreement" and seem pretty clear.
