GBFRIST AND LAST TIME BIDDING WITH CHARITYBUZZ, BIDDERS BEWARE, I buy many things from auction companies in new york and california, but a horrible experience with charitybuzz, I went to register everything seemed cool, I got an email from Charitybuzz that i'm registered I gave them all my information my credit card, I then contact my credit card company and make sure that they did a acquiry Charitybuzz did, As far as I know I was registered and good to go, I have a few friends that are musicians And they donate a few items to many charities of their choice, To make a long story short, I go to bid on this wonderful guitar great brand the artist extremely talented guitarist,The charity is going to a well known comedian his foundation, So i'm like i'm in even though i've heard a few things to my friends that won It had problems with charitybuzz, I like the guitar and artist I said go forward, I checked out the lot. It was strange the bid was way too low for that artist signed and donated the guitar! It's at $850 Less than a few hours to go,So I bid $950 It registers my bid It didn't show me the other bitter.It just said next bid strange so I bumped it up to $1100, As far as I know I should have won I was the highest bidder!!! I don't hear anything from them That was strange usually from other auction companies. It tells me I won and Then they contact Me with an email, So I decided to email them, I get an email back from scott From charitybuzz in new york hes said they never heard of my registration. And they gave the item to the other bidder, But yet I was bidding on the item As the beds increased, Charitybuzz scott They're sorry that this happened but it's strange, Everything was in the clear But yet it went to a bidder who did a lower bid than mine! A few of my friends have Have won a few lots from charitybuzz, They said they've had problems be careful, But I didn't listen I thought that I was doing a good thing for a great charity but you have to be careful, That they are doing business this way They have extremely high hidden fees for a charity organization, Basically you need a microscope.You need to read the fine small print that you really can't see, BIDDERS PLEASE BEWARE OF CHARITYBUZZ................

GBThe road to joy begins by helping others I enjoy Peter Gabriel’s songs and wanted to donate to a worthy cause( Adaptive Sports Foundation)- this auction allowed me to receive a program for a concert I was unable to attend and help those who want to participate in sports. Glad he signed and donated the item.😀❤️🎼

GBThere were two separate issues There were two separate issues. One lot I won had a signed guitar, signed sheet music and signed book. The sheet music came crumpled and the book never came despite multiple emails. The second was a VIP experience. It took multiple attempts to reach the person who’s name I was given before it was realized she didn’t work for the charity anymore. Still haven’t been able to book the experience

GBCharity Buzz Reps EXCELLENT Greetings Charity Buzz Reps; I would have rated FIVE Stars except for the 'hidden' buyers premium add on. That was explained by JoJo (excellent customer service rep) and was adjusted on my first time bid. I have looked at other items and expect to follow more. (Missed a few that closed.) So thank you for assisting charities and continued successes. All the Best, Rich

GBDisappointed but determined! Won a trip through Charitybuzz with 2 round trip JetBlue travel certificates to Aruba! Only problem is there are not a lot of seats set aside for travel certificates! So you may find a flight out but no flight coming back on none at all for the dates you want to travel. I finally found a flight going to and coming back and requested to change my dates a week before only to be told the new dates were not available! Thank God I did not book my flights wiht the certificate or I would have lost out!!! Now I have to purchase my flights and I have until November to find somewhere to go so I can use my certificates that I wanted to use with THIS TRIP! UGH!!! Total inconvenience!!!! I just hope to have a beautiful time on my trip so I can leave a review of the hotel and my stay!!!! This may possibly be my first and last auction!!! Glad it went to a good cause though!
