Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] Please add your rejection comments below Who has the authority to remove unpaid strikes from an account? I raised this issue with both National and yourselves but have not received any type of response in this matter They have open disputes on both my account [redacted] and my partners [redacted] Both of which have been resolved at this point, my partners more than months ago Regards, [redacted]

Dear [redacted] ,We reached out to [redacted] last week to get additional information about what action they had takenThe auction house explained that they were notified of the chargeback on 9/1, and on 9/they agreed to itSince [redacted] did not dispute the chargeback you filed, they did not process a refund themselves as at that point the funds had already been taken out of their accountI believe that a member of our Customer Care team reached out to you on 9/to share this information and ask that you contact your bank about when the money would be returned to you, as the auction house expressed that they have conceded to the chargebackAs previously expressed, we are not directly involved in payment for won items so we are not in a position to contact your bank or to release any fundsIf you need additional assistance communicating with the auction house, please contact our Customer Care team.Sincerely,Customer CareInvaluable | AuctionZip###-###-####

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] I already answer part of why I do not accept INVALUABLE response.....thsi company knows that their are hundreds of people complaining in the media, about their business model, that sales fakes, and people are robbed of their money.I and others, do not have any relationship with the auctions houses that INVALUABLE works with, in order for someone to buy an antique, or a jewel through an auction house, is their reputation that makes you decide to bid or not, who in their sane estate of mine will buy an item from an unknown auction agent or house, without knowing who they are.....it is the work, and has to be of INVALUABLE to do, they have to choose who they work with, they have to select with a very important and difficult selection who they work with, they can not just go around accepting auctions from everyone that says is an auctioneer,they charge a commission to buyer and sellers, they are the ones that send everyday dozens of mails, offering auctions, saying that ...YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED! To bid in this auction, in many of their mails, the name of INVALUABLE, when you open the catalogue any of them, it is their name, fully that appears, the auction house, is written in small letterIt is them who send the buyer, the confirmation of the purchase, and the amount to be pay, it is them, when you are delayed in paying that write to you, saying that you have an invoice without payment They send mails, with everything that has to do with auctions, that promotes the bidding, offer courses on different matters relating to antiques, the relation, at least mine, with the auction houses that they represent is none.....only to tell them where to ship the items, in INVALUABLE page, you can pay with a credit card, or send a money transferThey have a keep a list of every item you have bought, date, price, and if paid or noti have dozen of mails from them, but I do not know how to send them to yours, if you indicate how, I will do itthis business is a fraud, and the sad part is that they know it, and they keep robbing peoplethanks, I have dozen of mails from them that I could make available to yours, but their are so many, that if you tell me how to do it, I will deliver them Regards, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] Please add your rejection comments below [While I understand that your company cannot be held responsible for the results of new auction houses you need to take responsibility for your high-pressure and unethical sales tactics which were coercive and not in keeping with the standards of US consumer protection lawsAs a new client my position was exceedingly vulnerable and largely dependent on the advice of your training staff which was evasive and misleading in response to multiple concerns and requests I raisedI am willing to waive the advertising fees but I would like my auction fee refunded in full because, while the service was rendered, the product delivered was not in keeping with what was marketed to me by your staff.] Regards, [redacted] ***

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] Please add your rejection comments below Hello, Due to a family emergency I was not able to submit my reply to Auction Holdings through the Revdex.com website within the day deadlineTherefore I have included my response herein: CLARIFICATIONS- As of January 1, I was no longer affiliated with [redacted] and any and all activity on my invaluable account ( [redacted] ) was unsanctioned by myselfSuch activity is in no way relevant to this complaint- I was acting as a sole proprietor and at sole risk for loss of property from the auction [redacted] held with Invaluable Auctions in December COMPLAINT- I routinely asked for specific information about the success [and sell-through] rates of new auction houses on invaluable and was repeatedly denied this informationI was met with great resistance by customer service staff when I inquired about it and instead was repeatedly told only that sales rates multiplied exponentially in second and third sales eventsDespite asking for it on separate occasions, the Auction House Growth Acceleration, Case Study was withheld from me until the sale I ended up listing with Invaluable was already set and runningThis was an unfair and deceptive practice according to the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Law which states such a practice is unfair or deceptive if “a business fails to tell you relevant information regarding their product or service or misleads you in any way." - Multiple members of Invaluable’s training and representative staff were insistent that I setup my auction as a live eventThough I brought up repeated objections to this method of auction there was still substantial and repeated pressure from Invaulable’s representatives to pursue this methodIt was repeatedly stated by different parties that high sale prices were note likely with a timed sale event, so - at great inconvenience and financial loss to myself [the staff] - we pursued the format of a live event though it failed significantly upon runningI was party to substantial financial losses [loss of property] due to the misleading advertising of Invaluable customer service staff which stated that higher prices would be achieved by a live auction event [where no such escalation of prices occurred]Because I was led to believe that higher prices would be achieved, when I did not see substantial indication that this greater success was eminent [as implied] several days before the event, I assumed there was something wrong with my business model and invested heavily in Invaluable advertising to attempt to recoup an attendance threshold that would be more likely to achieve these purported resultsInvaluable’s staff assured me that I was doing the right thing when I invested in such advertising, however when the live auction finally ran no higher sales WHATSOEVER occurredOur event would’ve been more likely to financially succeed with a timed auction as was my initial intention which was repeatedly discouraged by Invaluable customer service staff over a month periodAccording to Massachusetts Consumer Protection Law this was an unfair and deceptive practice which led to substantial loss of property to myself as a sole proprietor acting on behalf of [redacted] for June-Dec Regards, [redacted] ***
