Once Promising, Now a Nightmare

This company started out strong, offering solid services and responsive support. But in recent months, things have taken a dramatic turn for the worse. Their latest updates didn’t just glitch — they completely wrecked my computer. I reached out multiple times for help, but never received a single response.

To make matters worse, after I posted a negative review, they publicly lashed out at me on social media. Instead of addressing the issue, they chose to shame a paying customer.

There’s no customer support, no contact options, and yet they continue to charge me for services that not only fail to work — they actively damage my software and hardware. I’ve been forced into purchasing additional features just to maintain basic functionality, and even those don’t deliver.

Avoid this company at all costs. What was once a reliable provider has become a hostile, broken system that takes your money and leaves you stranded.

This company refuses to authenticate autographed items unless they have been previously authenticated by another source. They appear to lack the necessary expertise on staff to credibly authenticate such items. This is problematic; for example, if I submit an autographed sports trading card from a company that Beckett does not recognize as legitimate, such as ONIT, they will not authenticate the signature. However, if the card was produced by Topps, they would. In essence, Beckett will not authenticate any item that has not been previously authenticated. Consequently, I believe this company is not credible.

Trustpilot has completely transformed the way I make purchasing decisions. It’s not just a review platform—it’s a thriving hub of authentic, user-driven feedback that gives real insight into companies and services worldwide. The ease of use, clean interface, and breadth of reviews make it my go-to source before any major buy or brand interaction.

What I appreciate most is how Trustpilot prioritizes transparency and accountability. Businesses that engage with customers through replies and updates build genuine trust, and Trustpilot facilitates that two-way dialogue beautifully. I feel empowered knowing my voice matters and contributes to a collective consumer experience.

Whether you're seeking reassurance, researching alternatives, or sharing a standout experience, Trustpilot is the place to do it. It's not just a review site—it’s a cornerstone of consumer confidence.

Bravo to the Trustpilot team for elevating the standards of digital trust. 🙌

Bonanza is the e-commerce equivalent of a tumbleweed. No traffic. No traction. No clue. It's baffling how a site with such comically low visibility expects sellers to stick around while their listings collect dust. If they plan to stay afloat on delusion alone, it's working—but just barely.

Very disappointed. The film on the plexiglass is a good idea. However, when I pulled it off, I couldn't believe my eyes. The plexiglass was foggy. I wiped it off—no results. I thought there was another film below that. I tried for a few minutes to get the film off what I thought was both sides. There was no film. The plexiglass is so foggy it looks greasy. It's not dirty. It's not a film. It's a POS piece of acrylic plexiglass that they tout as Tru Clear. Anything but. The frame itself seems to be okay, although the set of hanging items is a little anachronistic. Overall, my experience throughout the entire process leads me to believe that I would not purchase from this company again. 2/5. Poor.

Does none of the claims it makes. None of them do. All lies. Quelle surprise. It is not thermodynamically possible to do the things it says it does. Once your body heat is absorbed and trapped by it, it acts like any other sheet. These all absorb and retain heat. None of them do what they claim to do. Lies.

Update to the last review. I received a message from MB regarding the complaint I made. It appears to have been resolved satisfactorily. However, I have been receiving a bombardment of unwanted phone calls from all across the United States. They need to be blocked and reported. I suspect they acquired my MB information. I have proof to support this.

This is most likely only the beginning. I tried to place an online order. There is no way to cancel or amend the order before it is confirmed. Following the "transaction," the firm will immediately charge your credit card or PayPal account. There is no way to check the order because there are no registration or login options. There is no way to cancel your order. I tried emailing. No response. I tried calling. No response. I checked my bank and PayPal accounts, and the firm had stolen more than $800 out of them. I did not receive an email confirming the successful order and shipment of the items. I had to stop payments to both a bank and a PayPal. PayPal cannot obtain a form for one of the orders and directs me to contact the company. Even though they know there is no way to check the order, the company refuses to react to messages. These products appear to be of poor quality. "Buyer beware" is an understatement. "Call the Police" would be more fitting, as I believe these are lying thieves.

eBay charges $0.35 per item to relist it. That's $350 per week for 1000 items. This is in addition to the numerous other fees associated with each item you sell. In the end, for every item you sell for $1, you end up paying $5 to sell it. You're out $4 per item!

As someone passionate about supporting small businesses and online sellers, I’ve noticed many in our community discussing ways to maximize profits and streamline operations. While eBay remains a trusted platform, some sellers might find platforms like Bonanza worth exploring due to their competitive fee structures, seller-friendly policies, and free bulk item transfers. If you’re evaluating options, it never hurts to research alternatives that align with your business goals. Always prioritize platforms that empower your success!

The ink industry is a huge scam job. The last "new" "Brother-manufactured" colored ink cartridge I received had enough ink for about 10 pages. Then it was done. It closely resembles the counterfeit ink cartridges on the market. These cartridges cost up to $70 for each color. Rot in hell, you pricks.

It costs $2 to relist a card that sells for 99 cents. They take 35% of the selling price. Therefore, it costs $2.35 to sell a card I received 99 cents for, minus the shipping charge, which is at minimum $2.53. So, in total, for me to sell a 99-cent card on eBay, I have to pay them $2.35, leaving me a profit of -$1.54. How long can that model last? These are the dumbest people on the face of the Earth.

PLEASE!! Would any company have the courage to compete with eBay? eBay is effing rotten in every respect.

Almost everything on the menu at Omaha Steaks is 5-star. Interestingly, no matter how I cook them, every steak I've had is as tough as shoe leather. Gave them a 5 minus 3 for the tough steaks.

WTF?! Every time I visit eBay, its quality has deteriorated significantly. It's as if a child wrote the AI they use. The automatic relist is gone. So now I have to relist everything manually. Random cancellations occur for items. I find items are listed and are now relegated to the unsold bin without me knowing. Policy changes aren't sent to customers. Shipping policy is locked, so I can't design it for each individual item. eBay is so fukt up that it literally makes me sick to have to use it. Users often incur fees that they may not fully understand. Dumbasses have turned eBay into a money-sucking enterprise. MAKES ME SOOOOO MAD!

It's easier to answer what went right! Might be the worst of the worst. Every element of the company is poorly run and managed. They don't remember passwords. No synchrony between PC and phone. Delivery drivers don't make an effort to deliver the package if you don't answer the door immediately. Everything is bad. Just horrible. The whole company seems like it's being run by 8-year-olds. Frustrating, angering, and pathetic.

I've had numerous and decision-determining frustrations with PSA grading and authentication. I recently requested a simple QuickOpinion. I never received a response despite the fact that they advertise a 24-48h turnaround. Unable to navigate an absolutely awful website, I called PSA CSR. The CSR claimed the system "was not working" -- though they managed to successfully charge my credit account for a process that had never actually taken place.

Here are some common criticisms of PSA Grading:

1. Inconsistency in Grading: Many collectors and enthusiasts have voiced concerns about the inconsistency in PSA's grading standards. Some cards receive vastly different grades despite appearing to have similar qualities, leading to a sense of unpredictability.

2. Turnaround Times: PSA has often been criticized for its lengthy turnaround times. Collectors sometimes wait several months to receive their graded cards, which can be frustrating, especially during periods of high demand.

3. High Costs: The cost of grading services at PSA can be quite steep, particularly for high-value or bulk submissions. This can be a barrier for casual collectors or those with smaller budgets.

4. Customer Service: Some users have reported dissatisfaction with PSA's customer service. Issues such as lack of communication, difficulty in getting responses, and unsatisfactory resolutions have been cited.

5. Influence on Market Prices: There's a sentiment that PSA-graded cards often command higher prices in the secondary market, which can skew the true value of the cards based on the grade rather than the card's intrinsic value.

While these points highlight some areas where PSA could improve, it's also worth noting that they have a long-standing reputation in the industry, and many collectors trust their grading standards.

These standards have been replaced by a management team dedicated to ruining their company. Goodbye, PSA. Hello Beckett, SGC, SCA, etc.

Used to be really good. Now, they've been taken over by Gordon Gekko and relinquished to the dustbin of history. Quelle surprise.

I have been an eBay user for years, but my recent experiences have been incredibly frustrating. The customer service is unresponsive, and the platform's policies seem to favor sellers over buyers. I encountered issues with a purchase, and despite multiple attempts to resolve it, I received no satisfactory response. It's disappointing to see such a decline in the quality of service. I hope eBay takes these concerns seriously and makes improvements.

I purchased a card from the TOPPS website on November 19, 2024. When I hadn't received it after three weeks, I called for an order status. It was almost impossible to get to a CSR. When I finally got through, the chat agent told me the card wouldn't ship until May or June of 2025—80 to 100 days! I was in shock. The card cost $250.00, and I was hoping to have it in my possession soon. I guess that's not going to happen. Topps was good at one point, but it's gone downhill fast. The new management and organization are the worst in the industry. I look forward to the day new management arrives or the company closes its doors. It has been cheating customers for years and deserves to be severely punished.
