This is a scam …
Got to the event literally 30 seconds late and the idiotic f’r I guess that runs the show would not let me. This happened at paetow high school. This ticket company and the organization in the high school all should be sued and be ashamed of themselves what they do. Open the door I’m handicapped and that’s the reason I was late cause it takes me longer than regular to get places no refund policy if I knew how to sue these people and bring legal action against them I would do not support this company.
Poorly optimized poorly managed poorly handled
I placed my order over two weeks ago, they had emailed to tell me everything had shipped but the tracking didn't work. 10 days later I log in to check on the order (all the cards came except those from tcg direct) they had canceled multiple cards and without so much as an email to let me know, I refresh the tracking number and it turns out the package JUST shipped. 8 days after they had already sent an email confirming it shipped. Both cards went up in price after they had allegedly shipped but they magically canceled only those two. Crazy ass money grab. Now here I am 4 days after that with my package in the exact same place it started. Get your shit together bro, tcgplayer got out paced by half a dozen small shops by weeks. (yes all days are business days)
Can't get a person to answer a…
Can't get a person to answer a question. Is this site only run by chat bots? Customer service is non-existent here.
This website is an absolute scam
This website is an absolute scam. It is crazy to think that we trust this website to give us our prices for our cards around the globe. This website is so shitty. It doesn’t let you order anything. It’s full of false reports. It’s never updated to people‘s actual inventory, the prices are 10 times what they should be on every other platform or in a local game store. It is the worst pile of dog shit I have ever seen in my entire life and should be taken down and completely removed from the Internet it is an absolute waste of space.
Avoid this place - horriffic experience and no customer service
I put in an order for $300-odd of merchandise from 5 different vendors. My credit card was charged, I got a confirmation email, etc. All good so far.
Literally 2 minutes later I got an email that said my order was cancelled. No reason given. No way to contact anyone. Links to the site for help do not provide a phone, nor email. There is a "HelpBot" which is entirely frustrating and useless. There is no way to find out what's going on.
I am wondering if this place is just plain fraudulent, given the terrible reviews here in Trustpilot, that I wish I had seen earlier.
Beware - Platform is dangerous
BEWARE - THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY
I sold on this platform for a year and I've been scammed countless times. Dozens upon dozens of times. There is NO protection for sellers on this platform.
TCGPlayer has a policy of siding with the buyer 100% of the time, it's written into their ToS.
They've initiated refunds on orders that had tracking uploaded and marked as delivered. Customer claims "yeah, but I still never got my package" and TCGPlayer says "Oki Doki, here's a refund".
There is no accountability and they will just take your money and cards, and run with them.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLATFORM FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
TCGplayer steals seller funds
Sold on TCGPlayer and was abruptly removed from the site. They still owe us over $1,500 in sales, paid us $500 and told us to screw off.
If you plan on selling your merchandise on this platform, get ready to be robbed.
Does not help with bad sellers
Purchased cards from TCGplayer that were supposed to be unopened but arrived opened. Contacted seller multiple times with no response. TCGPlayer refused to help.
Impossible to receive customer service
Impossible to receive customer service. Been emailing them 2-3 times weekly for THREE MONTHS. I initially got 1 response from a "STEPHANIE" and have since received ZERO RESPONSE from any and all emails i can find for the company. Must have reached out 20 times at this point. No other way to contact them. So unbelievably frustrating. Terrible company. Who treats people like that?
Refunded without my consent...wen it…
Refunded without my consent...wen it was on its way to the mail. Now I lost my cards I'm pissed. I trusted this site but they are not trustworthy...they clda at least sent my cards jesus
What a joke!
Extremely hard to work with and unable to change things about orders, even the smallest mistakes despite being moments after purchase, they simply send you to usps to work with them. Never buying from this company again
Seller beware
I had been trying to unload some cards as I needed the money, but there are absolutely NO protections for the sellers. They only protect the buyers and I have been scammed three times by buyers. I took pictures of everything and listed them according to the condition guide on their website but each of the three times the buyer wasn't happy with the condition and demanded a refund. I asked for them to mail it back in that case and TCGPlayer just automatically stepped in and did a full refund and I never got any of the cards back. So beware sellers, there are people who will claim things and then keep your card and get their money back. I would recommend selling anywhere else.
Still dont understand how this shit…
Still dont understand how this shit site dosnt require I mages of cards when they cost 200+ ove recievd cards that are not as described and at this point my patience has ended i will no longer be using thos shit site and will happily pay more on ebay knowing I can see what im buying
TCGplayer Unhelpful and Deceptive
TCGplayer advertised a sale offering 10% back on purchases which they failed to honor despite the purchase being with the site within the stated promotional period and showing up as TCGplayer in my billing statement. At no point was it indicated that my purchase was an exception to the promotion. I contacted them, thinking it would be an easy fix- the company then blamed me and offered no solution whatsoever.
Beyond this, the company has seen a notable decline in quality lately and I simply can't recommend using them for online purchases anymore when more reliable and trustworthy services like Card Kingdom or cheaper ones like Cardsphere exist. I don't care who you use as long as it's not them- TCGplayer won't be getting any more of my business!
messed up orders, bait and switches, and looks like fraud.
90% of the orders I've done with them have been messed up in some way.
Also; I bought a couple boxes of cards BUT the price went up after so the seller cancelled my order saying they didn't have the product, BUT where selling the same boxes for more money. This has happened with singles also where the price has gone up so the cards I ordered were cancelled.
ALso, you have to Watch your cart closely because cards often go from .01 to $20 and will only give you a one time popup letting you know. I have even had this happen between the part I select to finalize my order and the part where it lists all the cards for review making it so they tried to jack my order up and hoped I wouldn't notice.
ALSo, The shipping changes often. I only ever select things that say "free shipping over $5) but it's a lie and they charge shipping no matter the amount, or recently instead of free (as advertised) it becomes "discounted shipping" which is just fraud.
ALSO, recently I tried to get an order ready for the black friday event, but they ended it 4 hours early (it takes Hours to arrange a cart of cards to not get fees. Frankly the time is Not worth the savings, which is getting less and less). I contacted customer service about it immediately and the person pretended like they were going to help, but said I'd have to put my order in before he could give any discounts and that he saw my cart had items in it and go ahead and put the order through and he'd talk to management. THEN after I put the order in he says they don't usually do that and he can't do anything... Which is also fraud.
I looked into them closer after this and found out they literally moved out of a state to stop a union from forming (firing everyone in the process), and have a reputation for being all around horrible. Now that I know (wish I'd looked into them sooner, obviously a company that breaks the law to screw over their employees will break the law with their customers too) I will never use them or ebay (the company that owns/controls them).
Gaming Social Fun
Hey how are you if may ask? Wish the best and thanks for quality services!
Scam
I bought a Pokémon card set on the 30th of october but until now I have gotten no updates, the costumer supoort refuses to answer and their page that lets us track the order has been down for 3 weeks.
I’ve been scammed for almost 20€.
Used to be good, ens*itification at its worst
Tcgplayer was once great, but now times are longer, products cost more, tcgpkayer direct takes weeks when it used to take 3 days. Orders are often wrong, cart opitmizer is horrible. Trying to even talk to a person about an issue is like pulling teeth to get thier garbage AI to give you the ability to send an email youll get responded to in a week maybe.
There are much better options these days.
This site is extremely good if you're cautious...
This site is extremely good if you know how to buy from reputable sellers like E-Bay if you cannot do that, then I suggest you stay away from the site because you'll wind up like the people here, when they can just prevent the issues by having basic knowledge of not buying cards unless the seller is reputable and can prove they have it on hand and have a confirmed PSA certification. You also need to use common sense; don't buy from the cheapest sellers unless you know they are reputable.
The site was easy to use and extremely great for my experience.
** BEWARE ** 100% SCAM SITE!!!!
I sold a bunch of items on tcgplayer and my account was terminated BECAUSE OF TCGPLAYER letting buyers scam me. They refunded a customer WITHOUT MY CONSENT, and the customer never sent the card back, after I supplied a prepaid tracking label. Then they terminated my account because THEY LET THIS HAPPEN and I messaged the buyer over 5 times about it with no response, no money back, and no card sent back. Well I never added a payout method and tcgplayer has officially stolen over $1200 of mine from items I've sold. Theft over $1000 is a felony in my state AND I WILL BE PRESSING CHARGES AND FILING A LAWSUIT! They sit and hide behind their emails as they dont have a phone number FOR THIS EXACT REASON. It takes them DAYS to respond back. Tcgplayer is nothing more than a scam site, plain and simple. I will be pressing charges for evey single thing i can, to the fullest extent of the law. Below is the order number and return tracking that they scammed me for. I have ALL emails and correspondence for proof.
