Most honest review of this company you'll ever see
I've been a part of Jawas user base almost since inception. While I appreciate their mission statement, in actuality, they're no better OR worse than eBay. Original account was never approved as a seller. Made a second account, got a few sales, managed to get verified as a seller. No biggie, all I lost out on was being grandfathered into a lower sale fee rate! Never had issues buying from any of the third party sellers, but let me tell you, bought an 8GB card from the official Jawa store and received a 4GB model only to be told we don't even accept those as trades so we wouldn't have one in our inventory to sell. So I've never purchased from them again. Next, I sold a laptop to a foreign national living in the US only for that man to then proceed to scam me with a fake return label and one of his buddies help at UPS to spoof delivery. Did Jawa help? No, not a chance, I had to press the issue with UPS who I assume then confirmed with them that it was not an authentic delivery. And finally, I sell a high end GPU to one of our boys fighting over seas only for them to not fill out the customs label correctly and both me and the customer to be in limbo for weeks waiting for the GPU to be returned to me. Took FOREVER because of course it did, the market has shifted, I'm stuck with selling the GPU at a loss now due to the market shift and could they be arsed to even provide a simple service like featuring the GPU on their home page after THEIR screw up? No, of course not, because Ryan is bad at his job and they are susceptible to the same scams as any other third party marketplace, only they're in such an infancy as a company but they're lost and confused as to how to actually help their sellers or customers when the time comes.
