Western Bid A firm from Russia that… Western Bid A firm from Russia that mediates to the U.S. from Ukraine. During Russia's attack on Ukraine, more than $20,000 was stolen from sellers who entrusted their money to her to send packages to the US. Many don't have internet, she uses it, doesn't respond to messages...... for over a month we can't get our money back, they don't respond Please spread this around as much as you can. Don't mess with looters

Western Bid I have purchased many, many items from shops located in Ukraine and Russia through Etsy, and ultimately Western Bid. Every single purchase was shipped quickly, and I received EACH AND EVERY one within a few weeks (as noted in the shipping times of the individual shops). I understand that sometimes things happen, and shipping anything these days is taking a chance. After reading all of these negative reviews about Western Bid, I felt I had to at least provide my numerous extremely positive experiences regarding this company.

I just passed through this page and… I just passed through this page and couldn't remain indifferent to what I saw in the comments. For several years, I have been consistently buying products from Ukrainian manufacturers on Etsy who work through WesternBid. All the items I purchased were delivered even in the conditions of the war in Ukraine. Only twice I really did have to contact WesternBid by email, but my messages were not ignored. Indeed, they do not provide comments regarding the details of the products since they are not sellers, but they helped me to obtain contacts of the original manufacturer who clarified all the questions I had. I also once requested information about the tracking number of my package, and I received a comprehensive response. I am curious why I see so many negative reactions here about the company. Who left them? Just out of curiosity, I visited the profile of the user who left the most aggressive comments. It seems that this user is engaged in fraudulent activities, purchasing goods or services and then blackmailing companies and shops with negative reviews to get refunds. Please, check for yourselves. I believe that WesternBid has become a victim of deliberate bulling by the fraudster. I also believe that Trustpilot, in this case, was used as a platform for blackmailing and as a tool for implementing fraudulent schemes. I deeply regret about this."

Easy Transaction I purchased two carved wooden walking sticks on Etsy. The seller was located in the Ukraine and had dozens of positive reviews. I paid using PayPal; the transaction was facilitated by Western Bid on the Seller's side. I was a little concerned about dealing with the Ukraine, but there were no problems at all. The canes arrived in good time and without any damage. They were as advertised and I'm very happy with them.
