Absolutely egregious.

Yeah I dealt with him very recently for the first time and I had to follow up with him via text and email. They did send me a check but took like 7-10 days after speaking with their accounting team.

bids, max bids, snype bids, super seller, seller, super buyer, buyer, super only auctions, live auctions, weekly auctions, buy it now. I dont see the point of having a max bid if the snype bid does the same thing but puts it in in the last 2 seconds.

why do they have to make it so complicated. its going to be hard gain new users and seems driven towards only seasoned users. just like fanatics in the beginning im going to get some crazy good deals because nobody is going to want to use this site

+1, I kind of think a platform can have one gimmick (extended bidding etc) and after that it’s too many lol. Think they would be better off spending their energy on the basics like bidder verification and payment issues. (Non-payment means demotion of status? Come on, they should just be banned imo). Let’s see how it goes though - tough to stand up a new platform and I am always pro competition so wishing them luck. And maybe some of their ideas will stick

Why would he cancel as a consignor?

ive had him cancel before where he lists the same thing more than once and cancels the cheaper one

This !!!

Hopefully customer service will be better, the reports I’ve seen about it is quite concerning.

Seems the Snype platform is live…and the AI use is frankly embarrassing. Looks more like a $9.3/hour intern job than someone who made $930 million in sales.

I think some of our members have generated more accurate Pokemon designs than this playing around with Swoobot.

Viewing on my phone without zooming in I thought how bad could it be but it’s far worse than I thought. Like the fact someone looked at that and considered it acceptable astounds me.
