HEWI

Wow, just checked my messages, apparently 5 people who weren't happy with HEWI and posted on Trustpilot had the reviews flagged as false, some apparently even had a response from HEWI and HEWI promised to make it right (so obviously real customers) I just checked it and now there is a flurry of posts claiming how great they are, usually from people with just 1 post... Obviously not shady at all and they are just fabulous... And that cough you hear, must be me having a cold...

I guess HEWI must be paying them handsomely, I guess a website being paid by the supplier claiming to be independent and give real reviews is errrrr trustworthy...

I used to sell on HEWI ages ago, until I found the real players, haven't listed anything there in ages because I simply can't deal with the staff, the site says approval happens within minutes, yeah, like their pay out happens after X amount of day. Totally fed up with messages saying "due to the age and condition of your item" - new with tags, but hey, they lose the commission, and listing stuff on a page doesn't really cost.

I gave them a miss, they apparently made me a gold member (heaven knows what that means, possibly me not listing for ages and them realising I am avoiding the outfit). Seems they got together with another website... Oh well, good luck, I guess there will always be people who list there, until they find out that it's a bit of a waste of time.

As for Trustpilot, seems to be so bent, they should enter a contortion competition.

Now I went and checked Glassdoor, where people who work in a company review the company, one glowing review (how odd, and also not specific) and 3 terrible reviews, specific and all plainly saying the same...

Rebelle price gauging

Seems Rebelle has totally gone the way of price gouging now too, several of you have sent screen shots, the "argument" they use is "This recommendation is based on our experience selling similar items, on the popularity of the brand and on the items condition." Oddly enough if you then look it up on their website, you see other items, often much older and of inferior materials, listed for a much higher price, since they are getting a percentage, I can only assume that they want a quick turn over and are prepared to cater to the masses and sacrifice the sellers.  Or they might simply just have another student doing the job. It's actually something that seems to be happening frequently and judging from the comments I got, rather shamelessly with prince dumping that is beyond the pale. So if you are a seller, list in as many places as possible. If you are a buyer, check the item description, Google is your friends, you might find a way to contact the seller, i...

Trustpilot - Do NOT trust

Seriously, totally odd, I won't say crooked but the thought is hard to push away... Companies I rated highly and replied to their email to review them, the review was flagged and disappeared, after notifying the companies, apparently they had not upgraded the service... Companies who deliver horrendous services, well, if you rate them low, the reviews disappear the "automatic software" identified it... Personally, I am not relying on Trustpilot anymore, totally worthless
