Ecrater Reviews Summary

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.

So Crooked
July 27, 2020

Signed up for a seller account and after hours upon hours of work of uploading the inventory, the account was apparently shut down without notice. Not even granted the courtesy of a simple email explaining the sudden inexplicable suspension. The few sales that *did* occur successfully were somehow refunded on my behalf, without my permission! Over $200 stolen in addition to my labor. Not only a bad site, but a criminal operation.

I ordered an Urban Shop bean bag chair from Dealerslane on this site, on July 12, and wanted to check on it's status. The order number, item and seller were not recognized by this website! I tried to contact eCrater, without any luck, as it won't allow you to submit your question? I'm worried I'm out 60 $! Dyan from SC!

Bought a battery from a company posting on ecrater. Says California based with battery in stock. It's be 3 weeks and they created a tracking that only says package has not been received by USPS. Communication through the site has been extremely broken English. They don't seem to even understand the issue. Ecrater provides no ability to review or reach any resolution

Order never came.
July 15, 2020

I ordered, and was notified my order had shipped, 2 weeks passed, order never came. I contacted the post office, they said they never received my order. I tried to contact ECrater about my order, no one replied to my issue. I have been essientally robbed of the cost for my order.
I do not reccomend using E Crater for any purchasing needs.
Poor customer service.

Ordering this DVD was so simple, even for a 73 year old Dinosaur like me! Some sites tie you up with messy passwords, which l forget.
Then the trouble starts, for me!

I placed my order at the end of February, it is now July 8th! Messaged about my order and was told since I did not "purchase a tracking number" they could not tell me where it was, and then proceeded to say it was stuck in Europe. Makes no sense.

Ordered a DVD from RockconcertDVDs that was from the Ukraine. Long story short, Paypal defaulted to my old address in their system when I was checking out so I immediately updated it to my mother's ship-to address (the item was a gift for her and I often buy her items using Paypal and choose her address from he drop-down without issue). I also included a note in the Paypal comments area alerting the seller that the item was for my mother and I provided her address. Then I received confirmation that the item was shipped to my old address... so I contacted the seller and heard nothing... only when I wrote negative feedback did he respond--he lied and said he got my note and shipped the DVD to my mother and asked me to remove the negative feedback (I told him I would do so once my mother received the DVD). He wrote a response to my negative feedback and called me delusional. Well, he's delusional because facts don't lie and I can prove I provided HER address, he promised item was shipping to HER address and I have a screenshot showing item was attempted at my OLD address. Asked for a refund and have heard nothing so I opened a dispute with my credit card issuer. This seller was caught red-handed and I want $24.95 returned to me ASAP. E-crater should not be tolerating scandalous sellers like this.

First time buyer from this site. I was looking for a gift for my husband for fathers day. The person I bought the ring from e-mailed me to explain my purchase may be a little late due to all this Covid19 stuff. He wanted to make sure that I was ok waiting a extra week or two before he finalised my order. I thought that was kind of him. My husband got his ring earlier than expected and he loves it! Great quality! I will purchase from them again!

I ordered a simple vacuum part because it was cheapest through ecrater.com. People sell their products using ecrater which is similar to eBay but much, much lower quality. I received a confirmation of my purchase but no confirmation once it was shipped or tracking info. Ten days later I tried to inquire about my package and all I was able to do was send a message to the seller of the product and wait for a response. When I got a response two days later, they then gave me a tracking number which showed it had been delivered. It may have and perhaps the mail person put it in the wrong box, or it was stolen, etc... However, if I had been sent the tracking at the start, I could have watched for it like I do all my other packages.
The seller would not send me another so I went to ezvacuum.com and paid about 99 cents more for the same part. Immediately I was sent a shipment date and tracking number and my package is due to arrive on Friday.

Lesson learned. No more ecrater.com for me and hopefully this helps someone else too.

I think it is very easy to order and has a very reasonable price. The time it takes to show up is a little long but is very reasonable for how much It costs.
