I bid and won on an item posted by *********** *** ****** on May 16, 2020 and made a full payment of approximate $2,700.00 via an international wire payment around May 22. On June 2, upon my follow up for shipping, I was told the item I bid and won was sold and sent to someone else. When I requested for a refund, the auction house kept delaying. As a consumer, I want to give any business a chance. I give the business owner two weeks to initiate a refund back to me. On June 23, 2020, I filed a customer support with Liveauctioneers. Though the customer support reached out to the art center, it almost seems that Liveauctioneers is only interested in servicing the auction house not assisting customers who's rights and goodwill has been violated. After two months, this is where I stand, no refund, no reply from *********** *** ****** even with repetitive inquiries, and the customer support is throwing in the towel stating "LiveAuctioneers' does not handle post-sale and escalations should be handled by you (auction houses)." I'm left in an extremely adverse position to follow up with the auction house for refund. The behaviors of *********** *** ****** have all the hallmarks of a shady business to con unsuspecting customers through the platform. And LiveAuctioneers showed no intention to stop unethical business practices from its listing agents nor the effort to assist its rule binding bidders. Disappointment wouldn't even begin to express how I feel now...
