Verified ReviewerAvoid getting tricked by Live Auctioneers
Avoid getting tricked by Live Auctioneers into using their shipping program after paying your invoice!
After winning an item on 6/1/2024 and paying my invoice in full, I believed my order was complete. However, on 6/7/2024, I received an email from Live Auctioneers stating, "This email is to inform you that the technical issues we had wherein LiveAuctioneers Shipping Option is not available during checkout have been fixed.
We truly apologize for the inconvenience. Kindly retry your payment, change the shipping option to Shipping by LiveAuctioneers so that it will generate the shipping fee/price under Shipping Method and it should go through successfully this time."
Worried that my item might not ship if I didn't follow their directions, I clicked on the provided link and re-submitted my payment. I later learned from the auction house that this was a baiting tactic by Live Auctioneers to push customers towards their shipping method.
This ended up costing me $53 to ship an item valued at $125 and weighing less than 1 lb, with a delivery time of over two weeks.
When I contacted Live Auctioneers for a refund on the shipping, citing the misleading nature of their email, they responded by pointing out a note at the bottom stating, "If you have already made other shipping arrangements or have plans to pick up, feel free to disregard this message," and refused to refund my money.
As a frequent customer who spends significantly on their platform, I expected better customer service. Based on their online reviews, it is clear that Live Auctioneers prioritize their profits over their customers.
- Great website and some decent auction houses
- Worst customer service i have ever dealt with
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Do not use the Live Auctioneers shipping method.

I Purchased these earrings from Parks family liquidation. They said they were valued at $800-$1400 which is *** You cant even see them I had to enlarge my wifes picture just so you could see the tiny earrings.
What a rip off so dishonest. Trying to get a refund and he company is not responding.. They said oh yes we will give a refund but has not given me any instructions on how they want to have them. Shipped back.

Verified ReviewerCredit card hacked
Immediately after submitting my credit card to Live AAvoiductioneers without any purchase from them the card was hacked with unauthorized charges. My bank closed down the card, my Amazon card, causing me to have to call a few providers who are authorized to charge monthly on the card. Also, Live Auctioneers telephone number doesn't work.
- Untrustworthy

Wondering who edits the sites
Wondering why Akiba Auctions is able to sell ivory lots 245, 246, and 247 while omitting what the substances are made of. It's obviously ivory - is this legal? Their auction is tomorrow.

Verified Reviewer | Clifton, New JerseyTo inform and warn consumers about Emanon’s deceptive and fraudulent business practices, and to spare them from financial loss and emotional distress.
There is/has been no response of any kind from Emanon Auctions & EstateSales, LLC via Live Auctioneers. Please be advised that in addition to legal filings set in motion by my estate attorney, formal complaints have also been filed against this business with the Better Business Bureau, and The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs & Office of Protection.If anyone else has been adversely affected due to the unprofessional behavior of Emanon’s actions in the past, I urge them to respond accordingly. Thank you.
There was a lifetime of home and personal items that were gathered from our lives. I contacted an Estate Help Line that provided some names of estate dealers and
auction houses that regularly deal with estate liquidation. I placed a few phone calls to three of them, one being Emanon Auctions & Estate Sales, LLC. Within a couple of days, the proprietor, Mr.
John Marko contacted me via phone and inquired about what types of items were to be picked up and sold. I explained it was the contents of our former home, namely furniture, collectibles of all kinds, crystal, china, kitchen appliances, clothing (new and vintage), ladies handbags, electronics, artwork and wall hangings and much more. Mr. Marko asked if he could come view the storage units to see what would be involved in accepting the job.
On Thursday, June 9, 2022, Mr. Marko met me and both of my parents, Ken & Sue Moye, at Columbia Self Storage, located at 10 Kingsland Road, Clifton, NJ. Upon review of Storage Units D124 and D118, Mr. Marko accepted assignment of the job.
He asked me to send some photos of the bedroom furniture all set up as it was when it was set up in our bedroom, and I did so later that day. Mr. Marko told me that both storage units could be unloaded in one day. He chose to do it on
Tuesday, June 21, 2022.
On that day, he sent a team of four people that worked for him to unload the storage units, pack the truck and bring all the items back to his warehouse, where he said they would go through everything. Mr. Marko stated,
that if anything of a personal nature was found and/or if I were to change my mind about retaining any items, all I had to do was make mention to him about whatever those items were. Initially, Mr.
Marko stated it would take about a month to six weeks to go through everything and then put everything on the auctioneer website. However, during the entire month of July, I did not hear from Mr: Marko at all. I got a negative feeling that something wasn't right. I checked the Emanon Auctioneer website and
much to my surprise I noticed that he had started putting things on the website without informing me first, which did not give me an opportunity to decide if I wanted to retain something or not.
Initially, he stated that nothing would be put up for auction until I was made aware of it first. He basically said one thing and did the exact opposite. My parents are witnesses to his deception, as they heard him say this to me.
He would do things one thing, and then wound up doing the exact opposite. Emanon Estate Sales wound up putting on some valuable never-opened Barbie collectible dolls, and selling them very, very cheap.
- Acts deceptively
- Company contract is bogus
- Zero communication
Preferred solution: Reimbursement for all items stolen, for legal fees associated with civil suit, for any personal items like my late wifes law degree returned to me and an apology would be nice. However at this point, I doubt it would mean much of anything.
User's recommendation: Avoid doing any transactions with this business! Don’t be fooled by their ‘we’ve been in business for 40 years.’ They are scam artists and will avoid bothering with you once they have your estate items in their clutches. There are many more reputable auction houses and estate dealers that will follow through on their word.

Verified Reviewer | Carrollton, GeorgiaI will never buy anything here again.
No refunds are bad policy!
I should've known better as a marble collector and only one photo was provided. As marble collectors, quality is ALWAYS over quantity.
These were old vintage marbles, turned upside down and the photo was blurred a bit, so you couldn't tell the condition, the seller said they looked decent to him. Even a CHILD would know they were beaten up badly, 1/3 is in good condition but they're the ones more common, the ones shown go for bigger money. I buy and sell, so that I can keep collecting the ones I want. Paid around $250 after the buyer's premium, tax, and S&H, which he kindly took care of for me.
I do not understand why JayBird provides only one photo and has a no refund policy, to me, that's misleading and looks awful for anyone who may want to shop with Liveauctioneers.com. I advise you not to buy marbles at the least. Terrible. I noticed he had jars of them also and glass alone is very deceiving.
It's why I take a box around with me, so I can pour them out and look at them. This guy's name suits him! In my case. It wasn't the P.O.
I shook the box and didn't hear one rattle. He did pack them very well. However, unfortunately, he misled me.
A kid would say, Man these are beat up. Errr!Do Not Buy Marbles!
