Customer service won't respond to my phone number change request to withdraw my funds.
On 2/12/20 I sold a pair of yeezy 350's to goat for a payout of *** The shoes were dropped off at flight club NY for a in-store drop off, on 2/15/20. I recieved payout of *** after dropping the shoes off shortly after, and when attempting to withdraw the funds to my bank account like all other sales, I received a notice disabling me from doing so unless I complete a two-factor authentication using my phone number linked to my account. The only issue is that phone number linked to my account isn't in service anymore as I purchased a new phone as of last year,

So I contacted GOAT support app and made a claim for a phone number change on 2/15/20. They requested my old number, last four digits of my bank card linked to the account, new number and email. I submitted all the requested verification information and they replied the next day 2/16/20 "I've escalated this ticket and a member of our team will follow up with you. You should receive a update within 48 business hours, at the latest...... If not, please follow up with us by responding to this email thread"

Two days passed and no response back from goat, it is now 2/18/20 and I created a new ticket through their customer service app as directed to do so if no response if given. They only respond with a automated massage saying, " We have already escalated your other ticket for the same issue, if your need to follow, please do so by responding to the original email thread. Creating new tickets for the same issue will further delay response time and will cause confusion"

It is now 2/20/20 and no response from both created tickets have been made even after the 48 hour window time given for a follow up just to change a phone number. I am now contacting Revdex.com as in hopes to get my money back and bring attention to this matter as this company is conducting shady business.

Desired Outcome

All that I seek is to be able to update my phone number so i can withdraw my funds to my bank account. I have no desire in using this goat service ever again.

GOAT account was hacked and someone used my credits to make a purchase. I tracked the shoes, returned to GOAT, and they have not refunded. (3months)
On December 24, 2019, someone hacked into my GOAT account and attempted to make several purchases. I was able to cancel most of them but one of them got away. The purchase was for *** I have my email linked with MyChoice ***, so I was able to track the shoes. I had them change the delivery to a *** Store pickup and have them send back to the sender (GOAT). Shoes were back at the GOAT warehouse January 10th. As soon as I found out about the fraud in my account I emailed GOAT support but didn't receive a response until a week later. The same generic response that they are busy and will contact me soon. It has been almost 3 months without a resolution. All they did was update the ticket number and put on the purchased shoes that a refund will be issued, but they never did. I was writing to them daily, trying to get my money back. That didn't work, so I am here now. I am hoping I can get some type of resolution. I went out of my way to get them their shoes back and they still treat their customers like they don't exist. I received an email February 12th that I was refunded and to change my password to release a hold in my account. I changed my password but no refund was issued. Once again I am waiting for a response from their reps.

Desired Outcome

I just want to receive my money/credits back. A customer should not have to wait 3 months to receive their money back, especially when it was their platform that was compromised and my information was stolen.

The appearance of my order was not what I was told it would be The shoes was supposed to be new and when I got them the stitching on them wasn't right
When I ordered my shoes I order them new and paid $25 for instant shipping. When. I received my shoes I noticed that the stitching on the shoes wasn't right. There was black stitching where there should've been white stitching and there was stitching hanging out on other parts. I emailed the business several times since receiving my order and haven't heard back. I paid $265 for new shoes, there shouldn't have been anything wrong with them.

Desired Outcome

I would like for the company to exchange the shoes for a new pair that doesn't have ant problem with. I paid for new shoes, I should get shoes that don't have problems with them

Goat refuses to assist in changing my phone number on my account so I can cash out my earnings from a sell
I have used the goat platform to sell a pair of sneakers on the app, when the sneakers were purchased for *** USD goat took 9% leaving me at a cash out of *** USD, The problem occurs when attempting to cash out my funds as their is a 2 step authentication system with my old phone number on it. I contacted goat to please change my number I chatted with a person named Irish and she authenticated my account then told me to please wait 48 hours at the latest since the ticket is being escalated. It is now the 11th day and they have ignored several emails I have sent asking for a response. Secondly I created a new ticket and spoke to a person named *** and I asked him about the situation in which he sent two automated generic messages and closed my case without allowing me to ask another question, I proceeded to try again and someone named *** did the same thing and proceeded to give me another generic copy and paste message and again closed my ticket. The original ticket on changing my phone number is still open and no one will reply it has been 11 days and I am worried they will try and not allow me to cash out my funds.

Desired Outcome

I am just simply seeking for goat to reach out and change my number on my account so i can cash out my funds that is all.

I recently ordered shoes, they were too big, returned in the proper time, and ups did not treat the package properly. They said it was my fault.
I recently ordered shoes off of Goat, thinking I would be ok, with shipping and return policies if I needed to. I got my shoes in a good time. They did not fit, so I decided to return them and thinking I would get my money back. I unfortunately did not get my money back which is now used as "credits" on the account. I wanted to get a new pair in a smaller size but I got an email saying that the box for the shoes was "destroyed" so now they gave me two options that I could only choose from. The options were to sell them on my account or send the shoes back to me with shipping prices. It was not my fault that the box was damaged. I sent the package back properly and they are blaming me. I have all the pictures and emails they sent me if you need anything. All I want is the same shoes I ordered but in a 7.5. I did not expect it to go this far but I would like my money back or even just a pair of new shoes. If you could help me out that would be greatly appreciated!

Desired Outcome

I would like to get my money back instead of shoes. Having my money on my account being used as "credits" is not the way I expected!

Goat Response • Feb 27, 2020

Thanks for reaching out in regards to your order on GOAT. We are sorry to hear your concerns.

Our specialists noted the following issue(s): badly damaged box. Please refer to the photos that have been sent to you in regards to this order.

Unfortunately, your return was denied because it was not in accornadce to our return policy. We are not able to accept items that are not in the same perstine codnition shipped to you.

You were asked to advise us on how you would like to proceed by selecting either of the two options below

Purchased a Pair of NIke Cortez Kendrick Lamar 3 on GOAT app on February 15th, 2020. The seller confirmed the order on the same day but never shipped.
Purchased the Nike Cortez shoes on February 15th, 2020 and the seller confirmed on the app on the same day. GOAT usually refunds money back to the buyer if the seller confirms but does not ship out the shoes to goat for verification within 72 hours. With no updates from the GOAT app on them receiving any updates on the status of the shoes I decided to emailed them. Thus, I initially emailed goat support on February 19th, 2020 and spoke with "***" via GOAT support. She stated, "upon checking, we are waiting for the update on the tracking information from the seller until the end of the day". However, once I checked my phone & email the following morning, no updates were sent or refund to my account. When I submitted another complaint to the GOAT support app today no response was given.

Desired Outcome

Therefore, Im seeking a resolution of a full refund of *** to my credit card.

Goat Response • Feb 27, 2020

Thanks for reaching out in regards to your order on GOAT. We are sorry to hear your concerns.

A member of our leadership team reached out to you in regard to clarification of your item being shipped to us.

Not all packages are scanned in immediately especially those that were dropped off at the drop boxes.

We discourage this practice as this usually results in order cancellations.

I looked into your order and I see that your shoes are estimated to arrive by the end of the day Tuesday, 12/25.

Here is the timetable once we receive the shoes from the seller:
1-2 days to authenticate and 3-4 days to ship to you. Please note that while most domestic orders are received within 3-4 days from shipment, International delivery times may vary due to customs. You may contact the shipping courier directly for additional information.

As soon as your sneakers are authenticated, we'll ship them out to you and send you a link to track your package.

At this time we do see your order was successfully delivered to you!

Goat is horrible.....needed a pair of shoes before our trip.....they never sent them for three weeks.....by then we were out of town on a trip. Once back tried to return and they said they have a 3-day policy and wouldn't accept return or credit. If they would have shipped when they said they would it wouldn't have been a problem. This is a terrible company to do business.

Placed an order for shoes for my son but within hours or early next day, we tried to cancel the order as my son changed his mind for different shoes! Right away I got an email saying since the order is in verification, it cannot be canceled. So I requested that after the verification (by GOAT) do not process the shipment of the same to me but instead return them to the seller and I agreed to pay the shipping charges but the shoes still got shipped to me. I read their return policy after the fact which is the most absurd one I have seen so far (for today's pro-shopper market) that you only have a 3 day window after receiving the item and even after doing so (and they approving it??), you only get GOAT credit for money spent minus shipping charges, towards future GOAT purchases!!!
Very bad business practice where they just want to steal your money - their emails almost look like auto prompted based on your requests and very repetitive, not geared at all towards helping you or to resolve your issues! Absolutely STAY AWAY from this company, do not buy anything from them unless you want to lose your money...
Choosing 1-star since there is no negative values allowed!

I am new to the whole sneaker culture. And I already bought the shoe. I shouldn't get charged twice
I made a offer on a pair of shoes on February 17th. I later decided to go ahead and buy them rather then wait. So I did. Then a little while later I get charged again for the same shoe that I had made a offer on. I just can't see why if I bought the shoe I wanted why should I have to take the same one just half a size up

Desired Outcome

All i want is my money back. I am a single dad with 4 kids and and cannot stand to loose over *** for no reason. Especially when i disputed it right after it happened

Goat Response • Feb 19, 2020

Hi, there thank you for reaching out to GOAT, we are sorry to hear about your concerns.

At this time we do see a member of our support team has reached out to you in regard to this order.

Unfortunately, there are no cancellations on offers because it is confirmed by the seller when they accept your offer. Please understand that when a seller accepts your offer, he gives up the opportunity to accept other available offers.

When an offer is made, there is also a double confirmation that states the following:

"If your offer is accepted, you will be charged $$$ to card ending in XXXX/Paypal. There are no cancellations once your offer is accepted."

In this case, the order was submitted via an accepted offer, so we're unable to cancel at this time. Sorry about this!

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
They do not explain that in their policy. There is review and review about how they take people's money and this is no different. There are many ways to handle this and completely writing someone off is not it. Their customer service is terrible and it's like the company is run by 10 yr olds. They need to explain that no matter if u buy the same shoe or not that if u make a offer and decide later to buy that shoe, you will still get charged for the offer as well

Goat Response • Feb 22, 2020

Hi there,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Hi there,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Again this is clearly stated in our FAQs and you are also ask to confirm by swiping to agree before you place an offer.

Please also note while placing an offer you are requested to create an expiration date of the offer and at any time you can go in and delete your offer.

It is the users responsibility to do this if purchasing the shoe through a different mean.

We are sorry this is not the outcome you were hoping for.

Customer Response • Feb 25, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Because they keep telling me about their policy but I'm their policy it doesn't state anywhere that if you have a offer on a shoe but decide to go ahead and buy said shoe that you have to pay for the offered as well!

GOAT cancelled my sale by mistake (admitted fault) and are charging me to get my shoes back. no more responses from their customer service team.
Sold a pair of shoes through GOAT on 1/31/19. Shipped shoes to GOAT within the requested 3 business days, also got a drop-off receipt as requested. Order was cancelled by GOAT on 2/5/20 because tracking wasn't updated by mail service. I sent proof of drop off and receipt to GOAT customer service and they acknowledged that it was their mistake for cancelling my sale. They informed me that another GOAT rep would contact me on getting my shoes back as they were delivered to GOAT (last e-mail on 2/6/20). Nobody contacted me so I followed up on 2/8/20 to see how I can get my shoes back, a different customer service rep got back to me and told me the instructions are in the GOAT app, which they are not, the new customer service rep did not read past transcripts of my problem. on 2/13/20, a new customer service rep (3rd one so far) charged me $9.01 fee to get my shoes back and they will not respond to anymore of my e-mails at this point. To sum up, I lost money from the potential sale that GOAT cancelled by mistake, GOAT is currently is possession of my shoes (my personal property) and are forcing me to literally pay for their error to get my shoes back. Also, their customer service is exclusively through e-mail contact only, they have no other means of contact, the slow responses and changing of different customer service reps is exhausting and allows them to potentially get away with stealing without facing any type of consequences. This should've been a very simple fix of just sending my shoes back, mistakes happen but they do not want to make this easy.

Desired Outcome

All i want is MY shoes back. They are trying to charge me a fee for their own mistake. just send me my shoes back.

We do see a member of our support team has reached out to you with the below, and we are currently waiting for you to get back to us.

My account appears to be locked. Ive reached out to Goat and they will not respond.
I noticed that my Goat account was not allowing me to make offers or purchases of any kind. I opened a help request via the app on Wednesday, January 29th 2020 stating that I was unable to create offers. The next day (01/30/20) I received what seemed to be an automated response from "***." It said that the ticket had been escalated and that I "should receive a response within 48 business hours, at the latest." That same day I responded to the the email thread with a screen shot of the the error prompt that I had been receiving. On February 11th, 2020 I sent another email from within the message thread asking if I could receive a status update. It is a a bit after 11pm eastern time, February 18th as of my typing this message and I have yet to receive a response. This has been an inconvenience as I utilize the app for the purchase and sale of sneakers. Each day that I dont have access to my accounts features is a day that I may lose out on potential sales as both a customer and seller. This is because the sneaker market is one that is always fluctuating along with the fact that the products are first come first serve. Something that is one price today can easily double or triple in cost a week or two later.

Desired Outcome

Ideally I would like to have access to the full features of my account, allowing me to create offers and make purchases. At the very least I would like to receive some kind of status updates letting me know that the issue is actually being looked into. I would like to know that steps are being taken to resolve the matter instead of being ignored and left in the dark.

I ordered shoes a month ago, not only did I never receive them but the company refuses to issue me a refund.
On January 14th 2020, I ordered a pair of Nike Air Force shoes(Order number: XXXXXXXXX) from this company. In total after shipping costs the shoes were *** and after they shipped I was given the delivery date of January 29th. On the delivery date I checked the tracking information and for some reason the shoes were being sent back to the original sender. When I reached out to customer service on January 30th to find out when I would be getting the shoes they sent me a broken UPS link, I told them the link was broken and once again they sent me another broken link. I contacted UPS myself to find out where the shoes were and they gave me a link connected to USPS. Upon sending a screenshot showing them the shoes were no longer in the care of UPS, customer support agreed that the carrier switched over to USPS(tracking: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) however, I was ineligible for a refund because the shoes have not been returned. USPS has had the shoes showing in the same location since February 8th, when I contacted Goat shoes again on February 12th to ask for a refund since I believe there is an issue with shipping that I did not cause, I received the same exact automated message saying I was not eligible for my refund. I entered my information correctly on their site and for whatever reason I am not getting my money back for something I had no control over.

Desired Outcome

I feel granting me my refund would resolve the issue.

Ordered a pair of shoes for Christmas, I ordered them weeks before. Never came. Reached out 20+ times for refund. No help and no refund. Bring ignored
Before Christmas was problem date, my shoes never even came still to this day. I ended up buying shoes from somewhere else. I need a refund. I used my card. Payment amount $120.

Desired Outcome

Refund. I've reached out so many times, no number and I just get robotic messages from support in app, very frustrating.

Charged & told I'd be refunded for shoes I never received, but Goat lied! Should've received my refund 2/14/20 and still don't have my money!
2/6/20 I ordered Air Jordan shoes from Goat. Paid *** 2/7/20 Goat notified me be email that they canceled my order & I'd be refunded by 2/14/20. I haven't received my money from Goat. There's no phone number to speak with a live person. Email/ social media inbox message responses are generic and take 5 days to receive response, which is poor customer service. Bottom line I need my money immediately!

Desired Outcome

I want *** refunded to my Golden 1 debit card that it was deducted from immediately today!!

Customer Response • Feb 18, 2020

Since filing my complaint I received an email from GOAT stating my bank account was refunded. I would like to close my case.

I have purchased a pair of sneakers on February 9, and as of February 17 I have yet to receive the sneakers, they were marked delivered.
When I ordered the sneakers I expected them to be delivered but when they were marked delivered but I didn't receive them I contacted them and they asked me to sign a paper and give them my ID number, I do not feel comfortable sharing my personal documents with a company that scammed me. I have informed them that 3 times and they would just repeat the same thing, out of 3 years I ordered stuff online this has never happened to me before. The purchase total was $179.65, I ordered them on February 9 and I have yet to receive them. They keep asking me for my personal documents which I do not feel safe sharing since they scammed me, I paid for a product and they did not deliver. The sneakers were the NMD Japan RX XXXX edition.

Desired Outcome

I am seeking a refund or store credit

If I could give them negative stars I would. I ordered shoes as a Christmas gift with a guarantee they would be there before Christmas. I received them a week later, it was the wrong shoe in the wrong size. I immediately emailed and got approval to return them and a refund to be issued back to my original form of purchase. I shipped the shoes back the next day, and the whole process started over again. I got an email stating that they had returned it as store credit only despite the fact that I had already gotten approval for the return to be made to my card. I let them know that I had already spoken to a customer service rep that had stated I would be receiving my refund in 5-7 days after the return was processed. They said they would escalate my request and would get back to me by 48 hours at the latest. I didn't hear from them for another 2 weeks. They did approve my return to go back to my card, and that it would be processed in 5-7 days again. Sixteen days later, and I still didn't have the refund. I reached out AGAIN and they said that this was returned to my account as store credits. What is happening over there? There is NO number to call to get this straightened out, I've emailed back and forth with no fewer than 6 different customer service reps and I'm still out $200 plus shipping. Why on earth would I possibly use credits to order a pair of shoes at this garbage company?

I assumed goat was the truth at verified shoes and believed in their process. I bought a pair from them at a discounted rate because they didn't come with the original box. Trusting that Goat won't allow me to get scammed well the first time I wore the shoes on vaca the AIR 27C literally peeled off the shoes and when I contacted them after buying multiple pairs from them, I was told they couldn't do anything because they've been worn. Not only did I get scammed and the suck at verify authenticity, their customer service is Delayed and awful

I Purchased shoes listed as "New" and received Used shoes. When I tried to let Goat know, they told me to resell the shoes as new+defect.
Purchase date: 1/24/20
Delivery date: 2/5/20
***

I purchased shoes listed as "new" through GOAT. In the shipping process they went to the GOAT facility to be reviewed by their "expert staff" who then mentioned that the shoes had a distinct Odor. Which was deemed to be a cigarette smell. They proceeded to give us a 5% discount because of the order. We accepted this discount believing that the item was still new just stored in an area that there was cigarette smoke. When the shoes were received by me, when I opened the box the shoes were not new, they were used. Which I felt could have been an honest mistake. I asked to send the shoes back or pay for a used shoe price, and they refused to take them or adjust the price. However, instead I was told by their support specialist *** that instead of receiving any discount or ability to to return the shoes, to attempt to resell the item through their website as "New+defected" which I felt was deceitful to anyone wanting to purchase these shoes again, and was offended that I was asked to try to actively deceive others. Their refusal to do what is fair and charge me for a used shoe price, instead of a new shoe price, or let me return them for a full refund. Along with asking me to try to deceive other consumers prompted me to contact the Revdex.com because as a frequent online consumer, I would appreciate not being lied to about a product I am purchasing or actively being deceived on purpose which apparently GOAT uses as a common business practice.

Desired Outcome

I feel what I am asking for is fair. All I ask is for a refund in full for the shoes and I will send the shoes back to GOAT. Or at the very list, I'm more than happy to pay for the used price. However, I already purchased a new pair because the shoes came used and felt uncomfortable wearing preciously worn sneakers.

Hi, there thank you for reaching out to GOAT, we are sorry to hear about your concerns.

At this time we do see a member of our support and leadership team has reached out to you in regard to this order.

Unfortunately, what you have been advised previously by our team still stands.

For all new+defect items, we use the Seller's photos as a benchmark to judge the condition of the sneakers; if the actual condition matches the listing photos, the sneakers will be passed *** the quality inspection. You are presented photos of any issues prior to purchase, so our buyers are well aware of why they are marked as new + defects as they are final sale items.

Upon review by our Verification Team, it does appear that the issues you are pointing out were also present in the original listing photos. I have included the photos/ link below so that you are able to compare.

***

Prior to checkout we highly encourage customers that are purchasing used sneakers to closely examine the photos provided by the seller.

Although we do not accept any returns on new+defect sneakers, please feel free to list them to sell as new+defect on GOAT. If you need assistance with the process, we are happy to assist.

They have asked me to review photographs and be able to tell from carefully angled photograph to see that the shoes are the correct item that I purchased. I the information provided by GOAT when they previously listed the item as "New" so I assumed the shoes would be new. Then within hours of receiving the shoes I wrote an email letting them know they were used shoes. And again I am being told to re-list them as new after I told them they were used. I think that it is poor business practice to ask me to re list and item that clearly has been used by another party as new because it is actively attempting to deceive other consumers as I was deceived. Also I was told that the return window would stay open until the ticket was resolved with GOAT and it was closed immediately leading me to believe that they felt they were in the wrong and didn't want to take the shoes back after. I believe it is only fair that I pay a used price for them. I do not believe I am asking much with that request as we still haven't worn the shoes because they were used and we purchased them believing they were new. And they were not.

This is simply poor business practice. How can a photograph clearly show if a shoe is new or used. I think the simple fact that I purchased a new pair from somewhere else has said enough about the shoes. I haven't worn them and refuse to wear them as they are used. And the fact it passes *** quality control team is a clear definition of how poorly your company operates. The defect was the cigarette odor. We accept that defect. However, the shoes are not new. And it's laughable that you have asked me to resell these particular shoes as new, when they simply are not. Also I was told that the return window would stay open until this matter was resolved and it was not. I think a price drop in the shoe should be accepted by both sides as you've claimed the shoes were new and they already worn. Does your company not have used pricing and new pricing? I'm confused as to what is so difficult about admitting your mistake and charging us a used price. And on top of that you've asked me to deceive others and sell it to someone else as new. Is that not poor business practice. The shoes aren't new. And the definition you have me of "new+defect" clearly would mean the shoes are new. Am I wrong for believing that? You've had no argument other than the fact that it's policy. Well what policy is listing something and new and selling used. Is that not bait and switch?
