great selection of products on an easy to use website I love gear trade and have bought a handful of products from the site. I primarily buy things sold by Backcountry as I trust the descriptions and have never been disappointed. The search options on GearTrade could use some updating but that's difficult when anyone can list products for sale and the seller misspells brand names, descriptions, etc. Typically not their fault but I would like to see some enhancements on that end.

GearTrade is now 0 for 2 GearTrade is now 0 for 2, and I won’t be ordering anything from them again. My first order was for cycling shoes, but I received a completely different pair in a different size. Second order was for a cycling jersey described as “excellent”, when the zipper slide was no longer attached to the jersey. A Jersey without a working zipper, rated excellent? Ridiculous. Both items were sold by Backcountry, which apparently doesn’t adequately check the items they offer for sale on GearTrade.

Stay away from Geartrade!!! Stay away!!! Aweful experience with an order from Geartrade. They sent a completely wrong item in a correct box. To me, this means that there was a customer return (to Backcountry) and the customer scammed them or this was a parts takeoff from a compkete bike. Either way, no one confirmed that the product in the box was legit. Extremely frustrating! They sent a return label and I am waiting for my refund which they say they will send refund when the seller (Backcountry).Furthermore, their policy states that they don"t pay the seller until the item has been successfully received and accepted by the buyer. This means that you have my money and should refund me as soon as you got the email receipt from Fedex. I will never buy from Geartrade again and I spend a ton of money on outdoor gear. Geartrade is absolutely horrible. I can get an instant refund from Ebay and Amazon Warehouse...

Vague and Misleading Pricing Policy Geartrade has a very vague Pricing Policy that allows them to change your agreed-upon price whenever they want, without notice. I initially agreed to sell a pair of $250 bike shoes on their site for $125. After just over 6 months, they sold the shoes for $37 which netted me just $9.79. At no time did they notify me of any price change. When I reached out to them they said that, "After the initial 30 days of a Consignment item being listed, the price is reduced on a weekly basis to maintain pace with the depreciation of the item." Nowhere is their Pricing Policy does it state such practice. What it does say is, "Geartrade may decrease the price based on market conditions, demand, and seasonality." Although this broad statement questionably covers the aforementioned practice, this is completely misleading. No way would I have agreed to terms that depreciated my shoes by ~14% a month after listing for just 30 days. If this is standard practice for all gear consigned to their site, they should state so clearly. I am very unsatisfied with my experience and although I love recycling gear back into the stream, I assure you that I definitely will never do so with Geartrade again.

I'm only giving one star because there… I'm only giving one star because there isn't an option for negative stars. This company is a parasite and I will never use there service, buy from them, or support there business in anyway. Any company that would take over 50% of your sell is pathetic. Along with other reviews the way they mislead you with pricing is horrific and a disgrace. Basically all I can say is please never use this company and I can only hope anyone involved rots in hell and has a slow and torturing demise. Again with all due respect F&C$ these scumbags!
