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.

I'd never order from these dimwit ever… I'd never order from these dimwit ever again sent put faulty good an absolute nightmare to get me money back I'd avoid them like the plague this isn't a trusted company to spend your hard earned cash

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?

Great service and tools for sellers. I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews. I work with this company since their foundation (and worked with these people even before this, when they had different name). Nothing to complain at all. Great service, wide choice of useful tools for sellers. The company becomes better every year introducing new tools and options. It seems some people just don't understand what this company do, and accuse it for actions of 3rd parties. Yes, they made some mistakes working with me too. But all cases were solved quickly and honestly. Lost packages were refunded. Wrong packages were re-shipped at their own expense. Actually, I do much more mistakes myself than they do. If you live in real world instead of your perfect dreams, you should admit that Western Bid one of the best (the best in my personal experience) companies in their market niche. I wish prosperity to them and to all their clients and partners!

This is a SCAM company This is a SCAM company. I am sorry I didn't read the reviews before ordering. I ordered something from Ukranian site. They send me wrong items which are even defective. I raised this with the seller and they sais they have sent me a similar item. This was shocking!! Now they want me to return the items but refuseto cover the return cost. The items were delivered from Ukraine but now they ask me to send them to USA. The return cost is more than the items. This is now raised with PayPal. Stay away from this company.
