GBA Stellar Cause: William Shatner auction The chance to get William Shatner to follow me on Instagram caught my eye! I put an initial bid in and CharityBuzz reminded me of when the auction was to close. I won and helped the Robert Kennedy Human Rights Foundation. Win-win. The follow up was immediate - assisted by lovely people from CharityBuzz and RFK. Mr. Shatner follows 40 people… including me!

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

GBGreat fun but read all the guidelines and rules I would tell people to make sure and read the conditions of sale before bidding. There is nothing unusual, but for a first-time buyer, I didn't know about the buyer's premium which could put your budget out of range. Overall Charitybuzz does a great job with keeping you informed of your bid and that monies do go to a good cause.

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................

GBLet me save you all the aggravation… Let me save you all the aggravation before you bid anything from CharityBuzz / CharityBomb. This is nothing but a scam, hiding under the “charity umbrella.” What they sell is a lot less if you go directly to the source despite them saying the “value” is more than twice what the actual cost is. I don’t mind paying for stuff but I hate being scammed. Someone needs to look into this further, I’m certain none of this is actually going to charity.
