Yardsellrs Stole my money !! Will not release funds
I sold 80.00 worth of games to a buyer on yardsellrs, after 2 weeks had gone by with no payment from them i emailed and asked where is my money i am normally paid with in 3 to 4 days , they said as soon as we hear from the buyer saying he received it then we will issue you your money , well i went to the post office and got a receipt of when he received the games, then i had my buyer email yardsellrs and tell them that he received the games and they still will not send me my money. they keep saying i will get the money in several business days. so i wait several business days and email them back asking for my money then they say the same thing i will get it in several business days. ever since yardsellrs let it be known that they are going out of business is when this started.

Yardsellr.com on Facebook "The Rise and Fall of the Small Sellers."
It's September 2011 and you've been running out of luck on sites all over the internet to sell your wares. One day you notice an advertisement box on the corner of the screen that says "Tired of Ebay, join Yardsellr." You do and your journey begins..... It's now December close to the holidays, and you've made some great friendships within the community. Nothing feels better than making supplemental income by selling things you no longer need or use. Danny Leffel founder of Yardsellr announces to take a small seller pledge seen here covered in a story by EcommerceBytes, right after Christmas. He said if 15,000 or more signatures hit the counter that loads of Photon$ (their fake currency) will be released to the community. The community signed and signed and signed and surpassed that mark by a mile and then things changed.... Working for a better tomorrow. "A community in which all people are working towards a common goal is not a community at all, but a mission..." Gary Long On December 11th 2011, Gary Long founded the group Photon$Head$. The Photon$Head$ main goal was to work for equality for all. Most if not all actions by the group were for the better of the greater community as they always discussed ways to improve sales and marketing for all On December 21st 2011, while sitting in a futon bed at 2 in the morning, Gary created the Photon$Mart$ *A keyword search inside the search engine for equality for all found here. The keyword search was for 5$ items, for the small sellers, so they could connect with other small sellers across the community. Opening day for the Mart was Jan 1st 2012. It boasted over thirty-two hundred items on opening day and excelled to nine thousand items in one month. Testimonials can be found all over Facebook speaking of the positive effects of the keyword search for all. On June 6, 2011 due to many irreparable situations Gary Long ceased using the application . To this date users buy and sell in the keyword Photon$Mart$. Lack Luster Customer Service In February 2012 Yardsellr experienced great growth. Within this growth came a price. Users started experiencing glitches that would take users money while buying boosts (their premium for advertisement services). Other things that compounded this problem was they refused to pay back funds lost and in some instances paid way less than reported losses. This was the beginning of the end when it came to trust bond that they and the Small Seller community had. Crew Members treated the community differently. You could tell the vibe had changed for the worse, and a rocky road was ahead. Raise of Fees It could be assumed that what happened to the small sellers was a direct affect of greed. The general community of small sellers sold 10$ or under. True Yardseller items you'd expect to see in someones yard. The Founder Danny Leffel was seen on Yardsellr.com blogs blaming low priced items saying they were making them lose money and he raised the fees from 10% on any item to a 2.95$ minimum charge. A 2.95 minimum SLICE charge on 1$ on up to 29.00$ transaction. Small sellers saw this as a slap in the face to all their efforts to this point. The company got them to sign a pledge, recruit all their friends and family, and then close the door on their face to sell out to HIGH priced Drop shippers. They failed to realize the consumer wasn't dumb and the users who made up the general population of the community and they understood that this was directed to extinct them from the community. If a company was losing money and knew that raising fees would make them lose more money due to loss of sales, wouldn't the company cut loose all that free money given away on Buyer and Seller contest boards? They give over 2400$ a month to top buyers and top sellers. Don't you think the buyers of the website could use that money??Obviously if they are TOP performers chances are they make money and don't need free welfare..This along with many other smaller situations could prove the theory that the website used the American public to get popular. Once they did and knew they could sustain traffic and members without the use of the Small sellers, they executed them off like they didn't exist. A quick glance now of the site shows over priced drop shipped products and ridiculous fees attached. Although the website takes a stance at 10% premium fee now, they once have said multiple times that the fee is based on various factors. A true site for Small Sellers SuperSellr.com There is fact a greater part of the Photon$Head$ are working on a project to resurrect the sales of the true small sellers. The SuperSellr.com project has been in the works for months now. A quick glance at the website says "Future Site of Something Cool." What they have in mind or planned is all kept in secrecy, however there is a Facebook Page and a twitter feed which has over 9000 followers, so buzz is cooking... It's rumored that this site will not allow drop shippers, and will offer a unique experience to personalize the life of the buyer/sellers.. Set to launch in late 2013 it's definitely an address worth bookmarking. Will the future of small sellers and sites with no fees hang in the balance? Will SuperSellr.com be the future? These questions and more in store. See you in the future/...

I have been on Yardsellr for over a year. During that time I have watching the site blossom and then die on the vine - due to lack of transparency, juvenile company antics, and obtuse policies. 1. I have 12 test items, again, up for sale on Yardsellr - they are either not Blockified yet, or not in blocks I need them in after a week of posts on the App Board or emails. If they are not blockified appropriately, they will not be seen. They do charge you to Boost with the Photons (funny money) whether you item is correctly Blockified or not. 2. To get your items into the appropriate blocks, you are dependent on total strangers voting on your listed item and the "most votes win -whether it is the right block or not". Those strangers are cajoled into Blockifying by being promised, the chance of possibly "winning" .50 cents to $10, of Photons, funny money. They may, or may not, win that money after hours and hours of blockifying. 3. I do not recommend "leaving" Yardsellr. I do recommend reading or listing to current Sellers. I do believe, personally, that with the current policies - Yardsellr is a total waste of listing effort, the costs usury, customer service to be patronizing and obtuse. They are controlling feedback by eliminating the comments daily on the leaderboard by deleting all the old comments. They ban anyone trying to discuss issues with Yardsellr publicly on their App Board. The company CEO openly invites people to ban people for comments they do not appreciate on their listings and started a competition openly supporting that policiy. It has resulted in Sellers being "banned" from specific Sellers pages in order to knock them out of the competition. The "competition" continues. 4. The Leaderboard on Yardsellr is pretty well dedicated to gambling with photons (funny money on Yardsellr). Prior the company CEO has been competing in the company sponsored competitions and also conduction gambling type games whereby people had to send him a photon "bid" in order to enter the competition and then he would buy a a pre-determined amount from the "winners" listings. 5. I do recommend that people search out other selling sites and diversify. That includes your own Facebook page or a website.

If so go to that link this person supplied. That group is full of Trolls, all who sit and sulk every day over the same topics , if you played a drinking game on the word No Sales you will get drunk rather quickly as you can see that term alone used over 1500 times in just 2 posts.

Yardsellr & The Seller No Communication No item Received!
Purchased an item on yardsellr, was sent an invalid tracking #, contacted seller several times with no response. Contacted Yardsellr several times, no response. Paid via PayPal, so I am hoping I will be covered under buy protection plan. Avoid Yardsellr!!!!!!! What a joke! Purchased a collectible Barbie Doll which I paid $22.22 from a person named Misty Day (Smith) on Oct. 16th and as of today Oct. 27th no response, no Barbie, but they took my money right a way! I have read today where so many people have been scammed via the Yardsellr site, I only wish I would have checked into this sooner!

Iordered sweatshirt, took my money & no shirt
My pal pay $ was taken on Oct 3. Got e-mail saying shipped on Oct. 5. My Post Office checked and said my order was never shipped. I would really like my sweatshirt. Can you find it and ship it. I am really upset. This has never happened to me before. Please help get my order of Mustang Sweatshirt sent to me. Thank You. I was hoping that this Yardsellr was a good place to order something you wanted to buy. Oh where is my sweatshirt, please have Yardsellr send it to me. I have been waiting for my order.

The seller does not get paid until the item is shipped, so if your out for your money, buyer is out of money and product. Paying through paypal eliminates all the trouble. And usps has an excellent tracking system.

Not really mad, just not happy with how slow sales are. I switched to them from ebay, and I may reverse, as I see Yardseller seem to become more about their profits and I actually do not know where to go. Be careful Yardsellr. Your sellers are your bread and butter. Take care of them. I am on the fence right now. But boy sales are so bad.I will make a decision based on their actions but I do not see them improving for the better. It is too bad.I hope they figure it out sooner than later Seller

I Get The Game Now...
I have purchased a few things on Yardsellr that I am totally pleased with. The sellers were nice, shipping was fast and in most cases I got a better deal. The thing I caught though was look up the item that you want on Amazon. It looks like these people are purchasing from there and doubling the price. Just a little FYI, I am a pretty savvy shopper and 9 times out of 10 this is the case. For example, look at what I researched, I LOVE this and it is half the price on Amazon: http://yardsellr.com/for_sale#!/art-nouveau---collectible-mermaid-hand-mirror-nymph--516**** Price on Yardsellr? $69.62 PLUS $6.95 Shipping Price on Amazon? $29.95 with FREE Shipping http://www.amazon.com/StealStreet-Nouveau-Collectible-Mermaid-Decoration/dp/B002I0LV5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=134471****&sr=8-1&keywords=mermaid+mirror Get my drift?

October/November They called me a scam

January/February Stalking slander began , haters started a witch hunt , with documented evidence submitted to the IC3 Unit since It first started.
The stalking cont. till this morning when finally a Cease and Desist order was threatened.
They still have not contacted me nor paid me back for hundreds of dollars in money lost using their bulk uploader tool.
No company should be allowed to steal from users.
I had 856 transactions completed in a 5 month period that went 100% well.. If they let this happen to me, they will let this happen to anyone.

Sold over 91 transactions in the past 15 days, Does that mean anything ? not to them. Got enough evidence, going to file a lawsuit, Stay tuned.... Employee slander, Lost Money, Documented Biased treatment, Documented Founder and Company Coverups, The works... They won't be getting away with this one.. Hundreds of testimonials and submissions from users who experienced exactly what I speak, this is not one isolated incident, This is community wide, and their attempts to cover it up are going to be futile as too many people were brought in to witness these actions in real time. You see they think we are helpless poor people. They are going to be getting a wake up call....

Photon$Head$ Lost money,Employees who call you a liar! Baffling
Photon$Head$ founder Gary Long has been recently censored from posting on the Get Satisfaction Boards of Yardsellr. Why do you ask was he banned? Lets go see the reason shall we. https://getsatisfaction.com/yardsellr/changes?page=4 You see Gary has been told to ignore attacks from members within the community, ones with possible friendships and ties within the inner networks of Yardsellr.| These attacks went on since Jan, and progressively got worse. The company deleted multiple threads in which Gary asked for help!. To top it all off, in Feb Gary started losing money using the bulk uploader tool. He reported the losses but the company only said we will see about getting those monies back to you.. Never said why it happened or how, or to avoid, nothing...Going along with business keeping track of losses along the way, *some video documentation as well* Gary kept track of over 200$ in losses, some as recent as 74$ in the past 10 days. He's had to ask for help to borrow off friends and family and even go to the pawn shop to pay back these funds owed to someone somewhere due to the monies not available to the losses... The customer service reaction and thought and care when taking care of this was and is careless. The founder himself has said quote "Only your group complains that this happens." when in fact there are over 100+ in my group alone who have reported losses let alone people community wide. Along with this others are paid back in full and immediately while others have to sit back and wait to get paid if not at all.. Like a few days ago they told Gary he would get a refund, later that day they said no refund... NEXT day they offered 30$ for 74$ in losses.. Gary declined the offer.

Yardsellr changed the instructions and I haven't received my money
This was my first sale on Yardsellr. I sold an authentic Louis Vuitton bag and shipped to the buyer with insurance and tracking per the Yardsellr instructions. I provided the tracking number to Yardsellr as instructed. They told me the check would be mailed as soon as I sent them the tracking number. The bag was delivered and it is proven by the USPS website. I was told by Yardsellr they are holding my money until the buyer confirms delivery. THEN WHAT DOES THE TRACKING NUMBER PROVE.....??? I am so disappointed with my first sale. I was be filing fraud charges with the Federal Trade Commision, and many others soon. I have taken screen shots of the delivery confirmation and saved all emails. This is not acceptable. I would like some answers here!!!!

Yardsellr unfair DON'T BUY I AM PISSED
DON'T BUY AT YARDSELLR.COM I am so angry!!!! I was so happy!! I won a big Photon gift, 50,000,000 photon gifts given to me from a seller on yardsellr to buy one of there items photons are points you can use to get discounts on buying stuff on peoples yardsellr. they are fun to get and give you never know the amount you are going to get...the item was in a photon flash in a flash you get 3x the value of your photons to buy things in the flash.. so the item was 45.000.000 photons so it should have cost me only 15.000.000 photons as it was in the flash + yardsellr slice of $9 .. Great I can use the rest of my Photons to buy a present for my disabled father for fathers Day. So I bought it paid with paypal.. the button said that it would cost me 15.000.000 photons + $9 after I paid I only had 5,000,000 ! the system took the full amount of photons it must be a mistake and I would get the 30,000,000 photons back..So I emailed the help@***.com .. Got an email back from Mary that read "you had enough photons to buy the item so you will be charged the full amount of photnns" How is this fair as the only reason I bought this item was that it was in the flash.. and the seller has to pay yardsellr 30% for items in the flash.. because buyers get 3x there photons.. Yardsellr is taking from both of us. So I email the person that does the Flash Matt " In speaking with Mary on our Support Team, it sounds like we have addressed this issue. As she explained, since you had the amount of Photons for the purchase you were not eligible for the 3x multiplier. If you have any further questions about this situation, I would refer you back to our CS team who can better serve you." HOW CAN THIS BE FAIR!!!! THE CHECK OUT READ THAT I WOULD GET 3X VALUE OF PHOTONS !! there is no place that states that the 3x is only if you do not have enough photons to buy the item.. I think the rules are made up as they go! Now MARY will not answer my email. so I am going to tell all my friend and all over the Internet HOW UNFAIR THIS IS!!!!

Yardsellr SUCKS!
I have never been so angry at one site. I ordered an item on May 3rd. I waited weeks for my item, the seller never leaving a tracking number, Yardsellr contacting me asking if I got the item and I never did. So, they said they would "investigate". What they really mean is that they will do nothing but maybe the email they sent will give you some patience to wait a few more days. SO. I emailed the seller countless times and received not one email back. Yardsellr had told me they were holding the payment to the buyer until they heard that I received the item. SO, Yardsellr would not refund my money even though it had been countless weeks since I placed the order and got no item. So, finally on June 6th, only a MONTH after ordering did I receive the item. I ordered a tin sign that was Elvis for my grandfather's birthday, which I could not give him since his birthday has LONG passed. I opened the envelope to find that the item was RUINED. The sign was dented and almost folded in half. They didn't ship it right in any sense. NOW, I contacted Yardsellr and they want ME to pay for the shipping back to seller. AND I was refused a refund. All the offered me was five photons. REALLY?! I paid fifteen dollars for the sign and I get NO refund AND they want me to send the item back PLUS pay return shipping. I could not be more PISSED! I would NEVER use this site again. Ebay and Amazon are wonders compared to this *** site.

Yardsellr.com on FB Never Paid me and Ripped me off. Worse they admitted to doing it, and are ignoring me now. I've been in contact of the members of the group Yardsellr Chattr and News on FB and it would appear many of their members are leaving Yardsellr.com for the same reason. Over 100+ members are instructing people to leave Yardsellr.com Kathleen Johnson *Leader* of their group from what I gathered is heading the charge to get members to leave or do direct sales on FB. What's funny I find is Yardsellr.com doesn't care.

Actually, I have been selling on Yardsellr for quite some time now and I have never had any problems whatsoever with them. So, while you guys/girls may be having problems, many sellers on there enjoy it.
We sell the item, enter tracking and within 2-4 business days, the money is in our PayPal account each time. It is MUCH better than selling on eBay.
