Possible scam

The guitar had glue all over it from the picture. The piece that was signed, was crooked and not glued very well and coming off when I receive the package I have many signed guitars from the Eagles and Don Henley and this is the only one that does not look professional at all. I will think twice about ordering any memorabilia from Charitybuzz. Sincerely, Gary.
Response from CharitybuzzDec 7, 2022
Hi Gary, We're really sorry to hear about the the guitar. We always want to make sure our donated items are the highest quality. We're investigating internally exactly what happened and how this was not caught sooner. In the meantime a member of our team will be in touch with you to discuss a refund and work with you on next steps. Please be on the look out for that communication shortly!

Be more up front with fees
Be more up front with fees! An additional 20% buyers free, plus tax on a charitable good should not be a surprise.
Response from CharitybuzzDec 3, 2022
We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. We make sure to disclose our buyer's premium fee in several places around the site, but we're always working to improve the customer experience, and this is something that we'll be sure to keep in mind. We also want to note that anything won through Charitybuzz is considered a purchase, and not a donation, and subject to sales tax when applicable. We hope that you had a great time at last night's show, and are available if you have any additional questions about our platform.

Extra fees are beyond the pale
The fact that I ended up with a $4500 bill for an item my winning bid was $3500 will prevent me from doing this again. Fool me once, etc....
Response from CharitybuzzNov 28, 2022
Thanks for leaving this review, and congratulations on your first win with Charitybuzz. We appreciate hearing from our customers on how we might improve our platform. The additional fees that you were charged include our buyer's premium fee, shipping and handling fees, and sales tax. We do disclose these fees in multiple places, but we're always looking to optimize the customer experience, and will be sure to keep this feedback in mind going forward. Our shipping team will be in touch with tracking information, and would be happy to further assist you with your win. Thanks again for taking the time to write in.

Be aware that you pay a lot more than your final bid!!!
I was very disappointed to learn that upon the conclusion of the the auction I participated in, the item was going to be nearly $150 more expensive than my final bid due to an outrageous and excessive buyer's premium and shipping and handling. That should be made very clear to the buyer prior to any final sale, rather than have it buried in fine print most people such as myself will never see or know about when you register for CharityBuzz. The only things you are required to do when you establish an account is provide your credit card information and address! There is nothing stated about making sure you see the fine print prior to bidding. There was a lot of confusion with my experience, and so as a result I will only be a one-time user of charitybuzz. Upon reading reviews, you will quickly find out how many people are equally disappointed in this company. Charitybuzz is extremely misleading.
Response from CharitybuzzNov 28, 2022
Thank you for writing in, and providing us with this feedback. The buyer's premium is a standard fee with most auction houses worldwide, and helps us to support the charities that we partner with. While we do our best to outline this fee in several places around our site, we hear your concerns, and will keep this feedback in mind as we continuously work to improve the customer experience. Our shipping team will be in touch shortly with tracking information, and would be happy to further assist you with your item, as well as address any additional questions that you may have.
