"Liveauctioneers.com, online auction platform, advertised and promoted non existing auction house SMGR Concept and set up two consecutive auctions advertised as SMGR Concept in partnership with LiveAuctioneers on Dec 02 and Dec 03 2023, offering non existing goods solely on their platform, simultaneously providing and publishing fake address and non working contact details of the above mentioned. I suppose in this exact case Liveauctioneers did not comply with EU Omnibus regulation at least, which makes it compulsory for them to provide additional data while dealing with EU companies or customers. Not to speak of money laundering assisting etc. I participated in both auctions and won several lots. Next day 2 emails from Liveauctioneers followed with invoices, payment instructions and bank details for respective bank transfers as bank transfer was the only form of payment offered. I proceeded with payments. Got respective confirmations in writing from Liveauctioneers website stating the Auction house did receive both my payments. The last email on behalf of this non existing auction house was on Dec 13, afterwards just silence. Lots were not shipped. Email address does not exist. Phone number blocked. I lost over 10 000 usd. My bank can’t recall it, dispute or start a chargeback as it was not a card payment, but a bank transfer from my account to bank account of auction house, provided in Liveauctioneers email. Liveauctioneers are not going to help to recover my money, refuse to give me any info on the above mentioned auction house for me to be able to file a complaint in French court. All they did was temporary blocking this auction house profile on their site not to start one more auction now. And me loosing 10k USD is totally ok with them. No info, no investigation, no compensation, nothing.
I filled a complain police but doubt it would help"
"I registered liveauctioneer and place bidding on items i wanted. the price starts at $1 and i placed $10 for that item but the hidden bidder played lure bidding at higher price. I believe i should stop bidding and wait to see if that bidder win the auction. Finally, the item was passed and no winning bidder. I believe it is exactly scamming because if someone placed higher bid, they should won the item instead of passed. And the item start at $1 therefore if i placed $10 i have the right to win if no one bid. They just want to take money out of your pocket. You poor they rich. "
