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

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.

While the package did take a bit longer than expected to arrive, the support team was helpful in keeping me updated on the tracking information. And in the end, the package arrived just in time for the wedding! The quality of the decor was outstanding, and it added the perfect touch to our special day. I'm grateful to Western Bid for their exceptional service and support throughout the process. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day unforgettable!

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.
