These are total scam merchants
These are total scam merchants - DO NOT TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGEPOLE! I ordered an item from a different company: Toddler-Towers.com. No mention that it was a foreign company. The money was then taken from my account through Westernbid.com. The Toddler-Towers.com website has a helpline (which doesn't work) and an email address for customer support (which - unsurprisingly - doesn't work). It's a clever scam but it is a SCAM. Be very careful when ordering anything!

This is a SCAM company
This is a SCAM company. I am sorry I didn't read the reviews before ordering. I ordered something from Ukranian site. They send me wrong items which are even defective.
I raised this with the seller and they sais they have sent me a similar item. This was shocking!! Now they want me to return the items but refuseto cover the return cost. The items were delivered from Ukraine but now they ask me to send them to USA. The return cost is more than the items. This is now raised with PayPal.
Stay away from this company.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced. We understand your concerns and would like to address them as follows:
Return Policy: As per our agreement, any unwanted products must be returned. We strive to maintain fairness in all our transactions and, as such, do not offer items as gifts unless explicitly stated in our promotions.
Dropshipping from Ukraine: We want to clarify that dropshipping from Ukraine is not prohibited. To make returns as convenient as possible for our customers, we have a facility in the US where returns can be processed. This is designed to be a more cost-effective and easier option for you, rather than returning items to Ukraine.
Situation in Ukraine: We are acutely aware of the tragic and ongoing conflict in Ukraine. While it may seem of little concern to some, it deeply affects our operations and our hearts go out to all those impacted. Despite these challenges, we made sure to offer you a replacement, hoping to alleviate some of the inconvenience caused.
Dispute Resolution: If you feel dissatisfied with the resolution provided, you are welcome to open a dispute through PayPal, our trusted partner for the last 25 years. We have successfully completed hundreds of thousands of transactions through PayPal and trust in their process to offer a fair resolution.
We value your business and are committed to ensuring your satisfaction. If there's anything more we can do to assist you, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Excellent product/some links to work out
04/18/24 Update on rating and review - so I did finally receive the item and I have to admit that it is of excellent quality and really just very nice. Had I known when ordering that the shipping would take a long time, I think that would have been okay with it. The other thing that frustrated me is that JTNLAB.com who I ordered through (shipped by western bid) says to email/contact them at an email address listed on their website but it doesn’t work. Western bid shipped the product and that was a bit frustrating because their website didn’t show the tracking info for a while and it also doesn’t seem to work on a mobile deviceI just wish both companies would clean these items up - let customer know up front shipping does take a while and get a working email address listed on their website and let people know western bid does not work on a mobile device. In any case I changed my review/review because the product is very nice and it was packaged well and did ultimately arrive so I feel it’s fair to give an update
Original review - Normally I check reviews for a company before ordering but unfortunately did not exercise my normal protocol when ordering a weekly wooden pill box. I’ve tried communication with company and the website address showing to what email address to contact and does not work. Tried calling, no answer. Still have not received the item that I ordered on March 16th. Disappointing and not sure I’ll get my money back but I did escalate to PayPal and Western Bid finally responded providing a tracking number that didn’t work for a few weeks. I still have an open case but it has been an unpleasant experience. They have responded to other reviews that they take all these reviews seriously. Obviously not seriously enough because I’m experiencing what many others have.

I just passed through this page and…
I just passed through this page and couldn't remain indifferent to what I saw in the comments. For several years, I have been consistently buying products from Ukrainian manufacturers on Etsy who work through WesternBid. All the items I purchased were delivered even in the conditions of the war in Ukraine. Only twice I really did have to contact WesternBid by email, but my messages were not ignored. Indeed, they do not provide comments regarding the details of the products since they are not sellers, but they helped me to obtain contacts of the original manufacturer who clarified all the questions I had. I also once requested information about the tracking number of my package, and I received a comprehensive response.
I am curious why I see so many negative reactions here about the company. Who left them? Just out of curiosity, I visited the profile of the user who left the most aggressive comments. It seems that this user is engaged in fraudulent activities, purchasing goods or services and then blackmailing companies and shops with negative reviews to get refunds. Please, check for yourselves.
I believe that WesternBid has become a victim of deliberate bulling by the fraudster. I also believe that Trustpilot, in this case, was used as a platform for blackmailing and as a tool for implementing fraudulent schemes. I deeply regret about this."

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences and insights. We understand your concerns about the challenges faced by sellers in the US market and the ongoing difficulties in Ukraine. Your support during these times is immensely appreciated.
Hearing about your positive interactions with WesternBid and your successful purchases from Ukrainian manufacturers on Etsy is truly heartening, especially given the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. It's a testament to the resilience and dedication of those working to maintain connections and commerce under such challenging circumstances. Your ability to receive your items and obtain helpful support when needed showcases the effectiveness of Western Bid's services.
Your observations regarding the negative reactions on the platform raise important points about the integrity of online feedback systems. The situation you've described, where a user might be using their reviews as leverage for fraudulent purposes, is concerning and highlights a broader issue with digital platforms that can be exploited for such activities. It's a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and thorough investigation when encountering extremely negative or suspicious reviews.
We're grateful for your call to attention on the misuse of Trustpilot as a potential tool for fraudulent schemes. This kind of awareness is crucial for maintaining trust and transparency in online communities and marketplaces.
Your understanding, patience, and willingness to look beyond surface-level accusations contribute significantly to a more informed and considerate online environment. Thank you again for your support and for championing a fair and honest dialogue. Your commitment to supporting Ukrainian businesses and navigating these complex situations with grace is truly admirable.
Disappointed customer
Wow! I was going to purchase something through Western Bid but saw their terrible reviews about how their customer service never bothers to respond to legitimate concerns. We were so looking forward to making a big purchase and I had a question on one of the items. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and still tried to reach out. As the other reviewer said, no one picked up the phone or responded to my inquiry. This seems to be a common issue with Western Bid. I looked on their company LinkedIn and I don't know how they are a Florida company except their 10 employees are all based in Ukraine. Seems pretty sketchy. I will spend my money elsewhere!

another review update for their non existent customer support. clearly other customers are experiencing the same disgusting issues with western bid. this is a phony scam shell company that i'm pretty sure is laundering money through it as a front. they still refused to refund me a proper amount despite the product i purchased causing health hazards. everyone should AVOID. they do NOT respond even though they keep saying they would. AVOID ALL THEIR UKRANIAN SELLERS AND WESTERN BID ENTIRELY.
update to add: i wouldn't have to keep leaving reviews IF THEY JUST RESPONDED TO MY 10+ emails to begin with! I have already provided all the specifics and they have my order #. they are LYING and pretending to be the victim. why would i publicly leave my personal address and email address on a review? especially when i've provided it to them numerous times via e-mail already. i've detailed everything with my order YET THEY STILL REFUSE TO REFUND ME A PROPER AMOUNT. $50 does NOT make up for all the issues we have been facing with the produce we purchased. it is not "overwhelmingly unspecific." they're lying through their teeth and they can't even get customers names right. mr CJ??? Where is the C?? how can anyone trust them to get orders right if they can't even do the bare minimum of PROPER SPELLING? their phone line is a scam too. it just goes straight to voicemail. they don't respond to emails. they don't respond to phone. they don't respond on Better Business Bureau. seriously how can anyone think this is anything but a fraudulent money laundering shell company?

No Reply After Two Packages I Did Not Order From Western Bid
I have received two packages from this company that I did not order. They are some kind of leather wire holder. There is a QR code of some seller that I did not order from. I am afaid that the QR code might have a virus on it. I have no record of an order on ETSY or Ebay. I tried to contact Western Bid by phone and text. You can't leave a message. I tried to send email to email found online-No Reply. Sure seems shady to me. Hopefully, I have not been charged for these items.

Great service and tools for sellers.
I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews.
I work with this company since their foundation (and worked with these people even before this, when they had different name). Nothing to complain at all. Great service, wide choice of useful tools for sellers. The company becomes better every year introducing new tools and options.
It seems some people just don't understand what this company do, and accuse it for actions of 3rd parties.
Yes, they made some mistakes working with me too. But all cases were solved quickly and honestly. Lost packages were refunded. Wrong packages were re-shipped at their own expense. Actually, I do much more mistakes myself than they do.
If you live in real world instead of your perfect dreams, you should admit that Western Bid one of the best (the best in my personal experience) companies in their market niche.
I wish prosperity to them and to all their clients and partners!

We sincerely regret to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to bring this matter to our attention. As an organization that prioritizes our customers' satisfaction, we want to address your concerns thoroughly.
Please note, Western Bid ensures all transactions are processed securely through PayPal, and as part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we provide a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases. If, for any reason, you have been unable to contact our support team, we strongly encourage you to open a dispute directly with PayPal to request a refund for unrecognized charges. This process is quite straightforward and is designed to protect consumers from unauthorized transactions.
We want to assure you that Western Bid does not initiate any charges on a customer's card without explicit authorization during the purchase process. If a charge appears that you do not recognize, we advise you to take immediate advantage of PayPal's dispute resolution process.
Moreover, we have noted a recent increase in negative reviews left by users with zero feedback ratings. We kindly request that Trustpilot scrutinize such feedback more closely, as it can have an unjust impact on legitimate businesses, such as Western Bid, based in the United States.
Finally, we have conducted a thorough investigation in our customer database, and we have been unable to find any records of a customer named Sam Bennet. We are eager to resolve this situation; thus, we invite you to reach out to our customer service team directly with any additional information that may assist us in addressing your claim.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We deeply regret any inconvenience you may have encountered. However, I would like to clarify that what you've experienced is not a standard procedure on Etsy.
On Etsy, any transactions only occur after you've confirmed your order and chosen a method of payment during the checkout process. Simply placing an item in the cart does not trigger any charges. We take the privacy and security of our customers very seriously, and we have robust measures in place to protect your information and finances.
It's possible that the issue you experienced may be due to a misunderstanding or an error outside of Etsy's platform. I recommend checking with your bank to see if they can provide more information about the transaction.
Please also reach out to Etsy's customer support for further assistance. They would be more than happy to investigate this matter and work with you to resolve it.
Once again, we're sorry for any misunderstanding or inconvenience. We value your business and look forward to assisting you in resolving this situation.

THIS IS SCAM COMPANY. BEWARE
This is a fraudulent company operating on Etsy, Ebay using PayPal. With many complaints and opened cases. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. REPORT AS SCAM.
Details:
Etsy Shop: silkstoreuz (Umid Sultanov) one of the operatives for this scam company. Goods ordered almost a year ago, PayPal charged immediately by WesternBid. Wrong goods sent at first, communicated with the seller multiple times, and he promised to re-send the goods. Still almost one year later no goods received. Working with Etsy to remove the fraudulent shop on Etsy operated under this company.
Also, when I called PayPal to report this transaction, they said that WesternBid had MANY complaints like this and they will be taking actions as well.

We take such allegations seriously and will report this matter to the TrustPilot administration for further investigation. We encourage open and honest communication in order to maintain a fair and informative review platform for all users.
Update: The Etsy shop 'SilkStoreUZ' has 5-star reviews on Etsy and there are no negative reviews. We have checked the sales records and found that no customer named Sofie has made a purchase from this store.
Very Expensive Way of Paying
Very expensive way of paying. Beware if a Ukrainian seller on Etsy gives no other option than PayPal. You will be slugged by Western Bid. You won't know it until it shows up on your bank statement. Try to choose sellers who accept other forms of payment.
Note: Western Bid reply is not accurate. Most Ukraine sellers offer Visa card etc as a form of payment, along with PayPal. I have found if a seller restricts the form of payment to PayPal it is because they are linked to Western Bid. An extra charge, Not Included in the Invoice, is made to the buyer. This charge appears separately on the bank statement. It is Not Included with the various other charges, tax, postage etc. which go to make up the final amount from the seller. It is extra and above.
I don't care what threats Western Bid makes this is my experience. The last charge by them was approx AUD12. This charge was NOT listed on the seller's invoice. The seller is NOT transparent about using western bid and the charge invoked by them.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We would like to clarify a few points to avoid any confusion.
Firstly, we would like to emphasize that Etsy sellers are free to choose whether or not to connect to Western Bid platform. This platform offers competitive options for sellers who choose to use it. However, this is entirely at the seller's discretion and is not a requirement on Etsy.
We would like to inform you that Etsy Payments, which offers multiple payment options, is not available for sellers from Ukraine. This payment method is restricted to certain countries only.
Secondly, we would like to assure you that Etsy does not impose any additional charges to buyers beyond the agreed upon price of the item and the associated fees for shipping, tax, and other charges. Any charges that appear separately on the bank statement are not related to Etsy and are not included in the final amount paid to the seller.
We would like to clarify that Western Bid does not impose any additional charges on buyers at any time. Our customers always pay the prices mentioned on the respective listings.
At Western Bid, we have no ability to levy extra charges, as we do not have access to buyers' credit card or bank account information. All payments are securely processed through Etsy Checkout, PayPal Checkout or eBay Checkout. As a buyer, you are not required to pay any additional fees to Western Bid; all fees are borne by the sellers connected to our e-commerce platform. If you see extra charges on your credit card bill, it might be currency conversion charges or international transaction charges imposed by your bank.
Lastly, we take false information and misleading statements very seriously as they can harm our reputation and the trust our customers have in us. We reserve the right to report any such messages that could be considered harmful or obsessive and that provide false information to review platforms like TrustPilot.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us maintain a fair and trustworthy marketplace for all our users.
