The overall reputation of eCrater is mixed, with notable strengths in product variety and competitive pricing, particularly appreciated by customers who value supporting small businesses. Many users report satisfactory experiences with specific sellers, highlighting product quality and timely deliveries. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, including poor communication, difficulty resolving issues, and experiences with fraudulent sellers. Customers frequently express frustration over delays and a lack of support from eCrater when problems occur. This duality suggests that while there are positive shopping experiences, potential buyers should exercise caution and conduct thorough seller research before purchasing.

I'm so sorry that I did not read the reviews before I opt money out of my pocket. I been trying to contact the seller several times asking when is my items going to arrive never heard back from them they did a disappearing act when they got the funds. I had to contact my bank and open a claim case against who ever took my money. I call myself saving money going through these people instead I get rip off. Amazon had the same items but I call myself saving money when I lost money. Some buyers are lucky to get a legit seller as for me I'm sticking to well known company, 'like Amazon'. Stay away theses guys are crooks, also I contacted my bank and file a claim against this company.Not everything that looks good, is good because it glitters doesn't mean its gold. Stay away scam
I want to praise this company for their great customer service. My emails were replied to within the same day or next day and all my questions were answered before I submitted my order. I received my order within 5 days and in good condition. The only issue I have is with their 3 days return policy and the reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Marg
The sellers who are not highly rated on ecrater are scam sites. They will lure you with reasonable good deals such as in my case a nintendo switch for 269.99 plus a game. Upon displaying other related items to look like a legit seller. However, upon ordering the items through PayPal and obtaining a receipt via email. No response, and a few days later the link was suspended. I believe the seller have done it many times before and is not their first rodeo. This site is good for sellers but not for buyers because when it comes down to it the seller will hold your money hostage and disappear off the site altogether leaving you with a bitter taste about shopping online on sites like these. I rather pay a premium on site such as amazon and retail sites from now on then to deal with these crooks. If you are deciding to buy from them I suggest you STOP now and save yourself the headache. You will be sorry if you complete that impulse purchase on ecrater.com. Terrible, terrible site.
I am so upset by one of your sellers Clipper King! It wasn't mentioned I would have to pay custom duties so now no goods unless I pay another £ 16.02-very bad trading and no support form PayPal or the seller though I mailed him the Royal Mail card. Seller will get the goods returned but will he repay me nearly £ 30.00;-(((((
Haven't purchased on ecrater yet, but I am a seller there with a 100% seller rating. And, yes, there are many good sellers on ecrater. While ecrater is not as convenient and easy to use as etsy or ebay, I do occasionally sell on ecater because of low seller fees compared to those on ebay, where I have to raise prices on my products to compensate for high selling fees.
For those who want to buy from ecrater: do some homework beforehand and check the seller first: how long his store is open, seller ratings, what kind of payments are preferred. And, unless you trust the seller, never pay directly from your bank account. Pay with Paypal or a credit card, and contact those companies immediately if there is something wrong with your purchase.
Good Luck!
Company I ordered from was represented as being in Tacoma WA. Actually was a Chinese seller. Buying software from China not a good idea.
Informed eCrater and got crickets in return. In my opinion, they know full well they are hosting scam sellers. Evidenced by not responding to warning the seller is misrepresenting themselves. Guess they not only know, they don't really want to know.
I have been selling here for 5 years. I sell all sorts of items. Never had a problem or issue! In fact I have never had a customer bring up ans issue with the site, or products they have purchased. I am able to answer all questions before and after any sale. This really helps in building a good customer base.
I ordered an item and paid $25. Never received it and never received any response from seller after contacting her several times.
Tracy at ecrater said I had to report it to PayPal and they still have not responded to me.
Sandra Niklasson is a fraudulent seller and ecrater will not help you if you lose your money to their loser sellers!
Stay away. I'm out $25 now, but it's actually the fact that they are thieves that bother me more than the money at this point!
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY! POOR ETHICS! I mistakenly ordered this ebook and requested to cancel about 5 minutes after placing it. A rep responded to my cancellation request with the ebook link and a message saying no refunds on digitals items after they have been sent. Their final email declined my refund request stating the mistake was no fault of our [their] own. I would not recommend this company!
Placed an order with "craftsuppliesforall" on July 10,2016. Still have not received my item. Seller will not reply to email. Received an email from eCRATER on July 24 stating that my order had been shipped. The USPS tracking number that was provided turned out to be bogus.
I placed an order through eCRATER on June 18,2016, for my grandson. We received a reply and order # but have not received the hunting knife we ordered. It was through ibuyebuy, and was a total of $18.98. We still have not received it, nor heard anything from the seller OR eCRATER.
Bought Medieval Total War 2 Collection from http://egamempire.ecrater.com/. I've Gotta say, I didn't know what to think at first because it's a cd key and at a really good price, so I bought the product, fingers crossed. It took a minute for the confirmation and then took maybe up to 3 hours to get the game key after verification emails, which is no problem considering a 30 dollar game is 6.99. Loved that I didn't get burned, I would buy from these guys again.
This is the reply i got when i asked for Tracking Number for which the order was placed 6 days ago...
Hello XXXXXX
I will like to apologise for the delay. We are having some issues about orders, mostly the Nikon D750. Few of our clients that placed their order came back with their delayed payments. Mr. Harsha, what we will do for you is if you can buy another extra Nikon D750 for the rate of $1000USD which we will be willing to offer you at that price, we will ship out 2 units of the Nikon D750 to your address immediately.
Also the payment won't be via Paypal cause most delays are from Paypal. It takes 3 working days for it to be transfer from Paypal to our Bank and company rules are payment must be confirmed before shipment. So we recommend you using Western Union Transfer.
So let me know if you can do it so we can arrange a new invoice for you and I promise there won't be any delays.
Regards.

I had ordered a seed pod for a beautiful tree from "Uri <*******@gmail.com> ". He seemed to not understand what I wanted and said he needed more info about me in order to ship. He was given my address twice and then received payment. I never got the product and it was ordered March 1st. I contacted him and after a few days he stated that he had shipped but I hadn't given a full address so it came back. Total BS. Every other seller has shipped to me with no problem, Uri says he will ship again if I pay again, or he will give back half of my money because this has inconvenienced him. I told him this is not acceptable and I expect to receive my order with no extra cost to myself and if it doesn't happen soon I will get legal involved, what he is doing is fraud/theft. ***Don't deal with "Uri <*******@gmail.com>" if you want to get your order!***
I recently purchased a Samsung a867 phone from eVirtualz.com that was advertised as "Brand New" Well... I received a bubbled-wrapped "used" phone that was missing its box and most of the advertised accessories AND the used phone I received has scratches on both the front and the back. I have not received responses from eVirtualz.com to my many eMails and have now turned the matter over to PayPal.
I bought a digital product download only version.
I cannot find anywhere I can click to start download after paid to ecrater.
No customer service phone you can call. No quick email respond.
Eventually I got refund. But costs me 2 hours.
I placed and order to GenieLamps and paid through PayPal. I received an order confirmation and payment confirmation. Never got a shipping confirmation and now the seller has disappeared entirely. They stole my money and eCrater doesn't hold them accountable. DO NOT ORDER FROM eCrater!
EBay Craiglist want to be website that has been already destroyed by stripe scammers. Market engine is very weak, 40 listings contacted by 1 scammer they almost got me to ship diamond ring.
Demetri or close enough name is parasite owner with parasite fees
Just like any other place, there are good and bad sellers. Check the feedback to figure out which are which. I've had a positive experience so far with most of the sellers.
