ioffer.com is a new ebay-type site offering a wide range of merchandise from seller's stores, much like ebay. I have purchased 179 times on ebay without a single loss or serious problem. I tried ioffer last month to purchase Invicta Watches. I purchased 5 watches from 4 different sellers. In each case, the seller was fraudulent. I received 3 well-wrapped packages from China delivered by EMS. Inside each box were 2 small blue boxes containing a 2" diameter glass pendant on a red ribbon. One box also contained a cheap rubber watch worth max $5. I had to sign for receipt of the shipments. The boxes were sent by 3 different sellers, all packaged exactly the same with waybills in the same hand writing. I filed an online complaint with ioffer with details of the frauds and pictures of the box contents. For over a week, the status report showed "Awaiting assignment to a staff member" After 3 followup emails, they followed up, but only 3 or the 4 stores were closed despite all buyers reporting non-receipt or no communication from sellers. All sellers were new with few or any ratings. THANK GOODNESS FOR PAYPAL. When I notified Paypal, the confirmed a high number of losses from ioffer. Within 15 days, Paypal refunded $1, 000 back to my credit card. It is clear that ioffer does not qualify or monitor new sellers until they build up a satisfactory rating. I have identified 5 additional fraudulent sellers, since my loss & all 5 stores have been closed down promptly by ioffer. All stores were selling Invicta or Nixon watches. ioffer has potential for being a great alternate site to ebay, but they have a VERY LONG WAY TO GO before before approaching the security and quality of ebay. CAUTION: ioffer allows buyers & sellers to transfer their ebay ratings to ioffer. DO NOT BE MISLEAD - You can not read the ratings, good of bad, they just give you total number of ratings. Some of the sellers may have been banned from ebay or had poor ratings. To say seller has 55 ratings is of little or no value. We at least need to know if they were 5 stars, neutral or bad ratings. I have since purchased the 5 watches from World of Watches & ebay sellers for a bit more money, but they arrived quickly and were exactly as described.
