Dear readers,

I regularly buy something on Catawiki and it often goes well, but recently it went wrong. I received a ring, badly damaged, the size was size 17 instead of size 18 as stated, it was not white gold as stated but a dirty yellowish color, the tanzanite stone was cracked from top to bottom. I had a jeweler take a look at it and the "gold" was neither marked nor marked. According to the jeweler, a 585 was carelessly scratched: fake gold. Catawiki had estimated the ring at 2,000 euros, but my jeweler estimated it: worthless! Nothing, nothing. After a lot of calling and emailing evidence to Catawiki, I was allowed to return the ring to the seller. Seller Daizydi did not cooperate at all. From one moment to the next she suddenly no longer understood English, only Russian while I had her on the phone an hour before and then she spoke excellent English.

So I gave a negative feedback. And honestly the flaws mentioned as above. I want to warn buyers about this seller. Because it was really a hassle, I had to keep fighting for months to cancel the purchase and reclaim my 1000 euros. It turns out ... Catawiki first changed my feedback to neutral and now removed it after a week. I think this is really bad. How can you blindly trust the percentage of satisfied customers while the feedback of dissatisfied customers is simply removed?

I understand that Catawiki would prefer that everyone keeps buying and does not know anything about rogue providers, because otherwise Catawiki would not make money from it. But is this the safe buying that Catawiki is talking about?

Who has experience with this?
