I purchased a Craftsman Air Compressor that was listed as "New/Other." The listing also stated that the compressor was tested and was working. The compressor I was shipped would not run, the oil fill cap was broken, and an air coupler was bad. The compressor had been run without oil and the piston was seized on the crankshaft. The entire listing was a lie. I could have bought an actual "New" compressor for less than I now have invested purchasing and repairing this one. I made several contacts with sliBuy attempting a resolution, no assistance was offered, and my account was Deactivated.

Photos do not accurately depict items for auction. Out of 11 items received, 4 were unusable. 1) Comfee rice cooker appeared to be in perfect condition from photos. Reality: all interior parts were missing. Totally worthless. 2: Ordered a retractable mesh pet gate. Reality: received an elevated mesh dog bed. It was impossible to determine that this item was a dog bed since it was completely disassembled. 3: ordered a shower seat, but impossible to tell that all the screws, washers, and brackets were missing. Worthless 4: ordered a water purifier that appeared new in box. Reality: water tank smelled of rotten eggs even though I thoroughly washed it 3 times plus flushed the entire unit over 10 times. Unusable. There are still 2 items that I have not unpacked, so I don't know if they are functional. In addition to the company not replying to my review, they immediately deactivated my account. I am incredulous. It was an expensive lesson to learn, but one I shall not repeat.

OK..first things first. This place sells "store returns". Both retail store and Amazon returns. They also sell consignment from online sellers. Store returns are either the customer did not want it, or the customer broke it. Sometimes a store customer will have a broken item, buy a new one, then put the broken one in the box and return it to the store. Slibuys failing is in their lack of description, good photos of items and their internal checking on the functionality of the items. Items marked as "new-other" are not necessarily so and I have gotten well used items when bidding on their description of "new-other". They need to beef up their descriptions, do a lot better on the photo's and at least test the item for a working condition. When I bid I rely on THEIR descriptions, category, and photo's. THEY are responsible for insuring that the item listed IS AS DESCRIBED and should be listed as working, non-working, or damaged. Another fault is they DO NOT offer any kind of refund, partial refund for selling a miscagorized item or accept a return for non-functional non-working items. Buying here is a real gamble so beware of electronic, mechanical items, and computers.

I bid on what was supposed to be an Apple iPad and won the auction for $90 plus shipping. When I opened the package, I was dismayed to find it was an iPad Mini, not an iPad. Furthermore, it had a crack on the front and was locked. I found a way to unlock it thanks to YouTube. Discovered that the iPad Mini was a first-generation model circa 2012, not a recent store return. When I contacted sliBuy’s Customer Service, I complained that item description was misleading, the 3 photos were so poor that the model and condition of the item could not be determined, and that the item was not a recent merchandise return but somebody’s old iPad Mini. They refused any responsibility and would not refund my money. Buyer beware on any electronics or “uninspected returns.”

my package came 75% empty of contents. All the smaller boxes that should have held hardware were empty. So they just threw the empty boxes in there and labeled as new/other. Stay away from this company. They use to be "Karen's Barn" on ebay. Ebay. They kept them legit for customers. Now it's a big scam selling junk. Only items listed as "shelf pull" are guaranteed as complete. everything else could be garbage with no return policy. Stick with ebay. They have your back.

Never received item that I paid for- no refund or credit- very disorganized

I won 8 items from them. They were shipped in four packages. Three of the items were listed as new/other and they did not even power on. The fan I ordered came in with a broken globe. In the photos from the auction the globe was clearly not broken so it got broken in shipment. After contacting the manufacturer to try to get a replacement they said that they were no longer being made. One item was never shipped and they refused to send me another like item which they have because I see them on other auctions right now. The items on their website and not checked whatsoever and do not work and are useless to anybody bidding on them. I wouldn't be so upset if it was one item but thete were actually four items I couldn't use and one item didn't even come. They offered me a credit of about $15 but not back to my Visa card but in yhe form of a store credit. I will never order anything from them again. When they first started I bought lots of stuff from them and basically it was all great and a good price. Now they take in store returns, don't check them, and don't know if all the pieces are there so you're stuck with stuff that can't be repaired. Spare parts can't be bought for them. Buyers beware.

Used to be an avid sliBuy purchaser however since the expansion and as shown in photos without supporting descriptions-I’ve learned that there’s a good chance of getting a bad deal
