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."

another review update for their non… another review update for their non existent customer support. clearly other customers are experiencing the same disgusting issues with western bid. this is a phony scam shell company that i'm pretty sure is laundering money through it as a front. they still refused to refund me a proper amount despite the product i purchased causing health hazards. everyone should AVOID. they do NOT respond even though they keep saying they would. AVOID ALL THEIR UKRANIAN SELLERS AND WESTERN BID ENTIRELY. update to add: i wouldn't have to keep leaving reviews IF THEY JUST RESPONDED TO MY 10+ emails to begin with! I have already provided all the specifics and they have my order #. they are LYING and pretending to be the victim. why would i publicly leave my personal address and email address on a review? especially when i've provided it to them numerous times via e-mail already. i've detailed everything with my order YET THEY STILL REFUSE TO REFUND ME A PROPER AMOUNT. $50 does NOT make up for all the issues we have been facing with the produce we purchased. it is not "overwhelmingly unspecific." they're lying through their teeth and they can't even get customers names right. mr CJ??? Where is the C?? how can anyone trust them to get orders right if they can't even do the bare minimum of PROPER SPELLING? their phone line is a scam too. it just goes straight to voicemail. they don't respond to emails. they don't respond to phone. they don't respond on Better Business Bureau. seriously how can anyone think this is anything but a fraudulent money laundering shell company?

Beware of Western Bid, Inc. Western Bid is actually a rather shady company who acts as an intermediary between primarily Ukrainians and PayPal. The Better Business Bureau gives them an “F” rating. If you buy a product from a Ukrainian seller on the Internet, such as through Etsy, you will not see their company name until you have already paid for the item through PayPal. I bought a Nixie clock on Etsy from one of these Ukrainian so called “craftsmen”. The clock worked for only a few minutes. When both my son and I tried to change the settings in our attempt to get the clock to work, we were both shocked. The shocks resulted in no serious injuries, but when I received my shock, one of the tubes began to melt. It was an obviously defective product that I tried to return to a Florida address that turned out to be that of Western Bid. PayPal refused to give me a refund but I have appealed the decision. If you are thinking about buying a product through Etsy, be very careful or you may get ripped off by these dubious characters who will spend your money while soaking up the sun in Florida.

Western Bid Courier Service NOTE: THIS COMPANY IS JUST A MESSENGER/COURIER SERVICE. Twice recently I have bought items from an Etsy seller in Ukraine and each time they arrived safely. Yes it's taking longer just now but that's only to be expected. Western Bid aren't at fault for fake/shoddy goods, it's the item seller that's to blame. All these people leaving one star reviews about poor quality items aren't actually leaving them in the right place.
