So much fun
So many items to choose from and excellent time frames for bidding. I learned that if you don’t get it the first time, be patient it might come around again for another chance.

We love offering one-of-a-kind items and experiences almost as much as we love hearing about our customers enjoying them! We're thrilled that you've discovered Charitybuzz, and can't wait to help you redeem your first win. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and for your generous support of a worthwhile cause.
AVOID CHARITYBUZZ AT ALL COSTS!!!
This survey is not letting me leave zero stars, so please understand that the one star that is given here means nothing. This is a zero star review. Even after contacting charitybuzz 7 times asking for a supervisor or manager or anyone besides the completely unhelpful agent to contact me, they never did. And now seeing all of these terrible reviews, it is clear that charitybuzz is a SCAM. They advertise and make consumers believe that they are helping various charities, but in fact they are nothing more than unethical grifters. Try calling the number on your agents email. It goes right to voicemail. There’s not even a number you could call to speak to a live person. Their supposed “fine print” is not listed anywhere, and their outrageous fees are nothing short of criminal. The most disturbing part is that I have personally donated items TO charitybuzz through my work in sports and entertainment, and even after notifying this “agent” of that, I still couldn’t get an email or a phone call from anyone after basically begging for a representative to contact me over seven times. I would Absolutely warm anyone and everyone from doing any business with this company. Unsubscribe from all of their emails, and trust me, these people will take full advantage of you every single time. There are plenty of charities out there that actually value their customers and have above board business practices. This company is the absolute opposite. And as a matter fact, when I spoke to my credit card company about charitybuzz, they told me they have received dozens and dozens of complaints from other customers about them. Avoid at all cost

Thanks so much for leaving us this review. Charitybuzz first implemented our buyer's premium fee in 2019, to help improve our platform and maximize the amount of money raised for worthwhile causes. We disclose this fee in several places on our site, but are always looking to improve the customer experience, and will be sure to keep this feedback in mind.
A team member from our shipping department will be in touch with shipping and tracking information; please look out for that email. We appreciate your continued support, and are available if you ever have any questions!
Make sure you Understand AS Donated
Overall process was smooth and great communication. Framed Lithograph arrived in a destroyed frame that needed to be completely reframed.

Hi there - thanks so much for leaving us a review. Our lot term "In condition as donated" refers to general wear and tear of an item, but we would not expect our customers to be okay with something that's been damaged in transit.
Please look out for an email from a member of our shipping department, who will be able further assist you with this matter. We want to help make sure any and every experience you have with Charitybuzz is positive from beginning to end.

Thank you for taking the time to write us this feedback. I'm sorry to hear you're not a fan of the buyer's premium fees and more importantly that it came as a surprise. That fee is indeed a part of all of our auctions since June of 2019. The buyer's premium is standard across most auction houses worldwide and helps us run and improve the platform for our customers. We have information about the fee listed in a few different places on our site, including our FAQ, but we will definitely pass along this feedback. Thank you again!
Easy and fun
I love being able to help and win a prize to boot! Charitybuzz makes it easy and fun.

Thank you for checking in with us here. We always want to prioritize transparency on our end, so we're sorry to hear you had difficulty finding information about these fees prior to your first win with us. We still look forward to turning around your experience from here on out and will do our best to make sure you're taken care of!
Too many fees
Too many fees. Comes to 30% plus. Tell the bidder what the all in price is gonna be before they bid.

Congrats on your second win with us! We hear you about the fees. As you might expect, there is nothing we can do about the shipping charges and taxes on our end. As for our Buyers Premium fee, like with most auction houses, that helps with the upkeep of the platform primarily. It helps us make necessary updates to the site to keep the experience as user-friendly as possible. We do our best to have these fees outlined in a few different places on the website but we are definitely passing along your frustration to the team so we can keep making the site even better. Thank you again for being a customer!

Take my name and email off all your list. I will never make another purchase/donation from charity buzz. A very long time ago I won a few things from your auction and this recent experience I was charged a fee I’ve never was charged prior.

Since my last bid
Since my last bid, a buyer fee has been added which is not tax deductible. This will likely dissuade me from bidding going forward

Great platform but read the fine print
The platform was easy to use and I'm super excited about what I won BUT I would caution people to read all the fine print. I was hit with with $1500 in "buyer's premium" above my $5750 bid which was a little difficult to handle. I'm sure it was buried in the fine print somewhere but for everyday people who don't do this kind of thing regularly, it was a huge shock.

Thank you so much for reaching out and congratulations on your first win with us! The buyer's premium is standard fee with most auction houses worldwide. We do our best to outline this fee on our FAQ page as well as the conditions of sale on our lot pages, but we can understand it could come as a surprise if you are not familiar. We are still very excited to helping make the experience from here on out as wonderful as possible for you!
