WorthpointReviews of worthpoint.com

I continually find it lacking past sales that should be present. For anything that is not semi-common or better, it is very hit or miss. Disappointing considering it can't do its only job very well. Better than nothing though so have to still give it two stars.

I have not nor will I sign up for a trial. When 1-star reviews outpace 5-star reviews, I make it a point to read them. I look for repeated complaints and patterns. You'll certainly find them at Worthpoint. Read them if you want to educate yourself before signing up for anything. Generally- 1) Any "FREE TRIAL" website that requires a credit card to sign-up get the free trial is the first red flag and is not a true free trial. 2) Information on value of an item may or may not be available- there is no way of knowing until you join. Furthermore the info could be limited or years outdated. A lot can be found on your own for free. Worthpoint gathers their data from sites like ebay paying for the access to a selling site's archives. 3) Canceling the free trial is not easy or straight forward, cancelation requests not always acknowledged or recognized because the victim didn't do everything perfectly to cancel the trial, causing unauthorized charges. This legal soft scam percentages work in Worthpoint’s favor, they will always keep the money from suckers too afraid or don't want the hassle of contesting charges. 4) Worthpoint puts more effort into extinguishing the numerous Trustpilot review fires instead of to actual customers with issues, reviews indicate this another recurring problem. Efforts should be to fix the years-old same reason people are complaining. Why fix it? Because Worthpoint will make residual free money from the poor people that abandon efforts to reclaim their payment(s). As a small but long time internet seller, I would really like to have use of a service like this. I keep visiting it occasionally hoping to convince myself to give it a try, but pull back every time I read the reviews. - Sellers are paying more to use and sell at platform sites. Just like everything else, it is costing more and more, platform giants increasing ‘percentage take’ on all sales, charging more for extras (advertising, etc.). Etsy is pushing and shoving sellers to ship ‘free’, which helps their profit, not the sellers. Changing policies has restricted certain collectibles from being offered and sold at their sites. IRS is sending 1099 tax forms to all sellers with more than $600 in sales, previous threshold was $20K. I never exceeded this amount. For the past 6-7 years USPS rates have risen sharply, increasing rates sometimes twice in a year. 2 years ago, they started 'temporarily' increasing rates for the holiday season (October thru January), which happens to be many seller's prime selling time of the year. I can personally attest that USPS service has gotten much worse, with countless examples, delays, damage- causing more lost revenue. Small sellers won't be able survive the constant assault from all angles. It is fast becoming too much trouble and expense to try make a buck from home. I recommend not getting into the business. Competition and rising costs are neutralizing efforts to make it successful. Only large volume sellers will survive. The bottom line- Worthpoint has been around for years, the service has not changed nor have the complaints- the 1-star has always outnumbered the 5-stars. There are many old and fresh similar 1-star reviews, nothing has changed. There is no way of knowing how helpful or worthless the service can be until you pay for it. Subscription prices are exorbitant especially for something that has no measurable results before or after use. It is entirely possible it can benefit a sale or two, but is it worth the cost of no less than $27.99 a month? It is an unnecessary and wasted expense for those willing to do their own research. The most I’d pay is $9.99 a month for something that has absolutely no guarantee of beneficial results. Worthpoint needs to change- make it easier to decide, get, use and cancel a ‘free trial’. There should never be a chance of unauthorized credit/debit card charges because a user forgot to cancel, didn’t read the fine print, was easily confused or wasn’t paying attention after they thought they canceled it. Worthpoint reacts to 1-star Trustpilot reviews but has done nothing to address the persistent problem causing these same constant complaints. Why? Because it is their dice game, they are the house and always come out ahead with ethically questionable practices that skirt the laws. I choose to run the other way from this site, if you read the reviews, you probably will too. ‘nuff said.

There was a space art auction at Christie's two years ago. NONE of those items and their prices from that auction have been reported. So far. Everything on Worthpoint is gleaned from sites like eBay and such - no data from premier auction houses and the like. At least, I can't find any. If you can, please let me know.

Worthpoint is very disappointing. It seems 99% of their results come from ebay yet they haven't figured out how to report ebay sales results accurately. For example, if an item on ebay allows "best offers", Worthpoint doesn't show you the accepted offer. Instead they show you the price the item was originally listed at. So you never know if the price Worthpoint shows you is the actual sell price or if the sell price is actually much lower. They also don't get all the pictures from ebay (or they don't use them all). Most Worthpoint listings have just one or two pictures, but most ebay listings have more than that. This makes it very hard to draw any conclusions from the sale price because you can't see all the pictures needed to determine the condition of the item or see everything that may have been included in the lot. I've tried to discuss this with Worthpoint and it was pointless. Their staff seemed disinterested and acted like they didn't see the problem. It seems they take very lightly the sole point of their existence. They charge way too much for the quality of product they're putting out.

The website images take forever to load when I use the price guide search. Website has been not working all day today. Apparently because they have no competition so they don't care about their subscribers at all. 2 stars because there is sadly no alternative.

I have been a worthpoint customer for over 10 years. It has been invaluable to me. But, recently they “updates” their app and it is TERRIBLE! I have needed to call customer service numerous times to have my account unlocked. The app says it will use facial recognition but it does not then asked me to log in again. I am extremely frustrated with worthpoint right now. Please fix it!

It should be called eBay Worthpoint. I think with a title such as worthpoint it would include other sites (Mercari, Poshmark, Esty, etc. 99% or the comps are eBay. Granted they do go back aways but not true of what is out there. I still have to research the other sites to get a good price range. I think it is deceptive to indicate they use multiple sites.

Recent app update is garbage. They have rendered one of my most used business apps almost worthless. Screen layout and sorting option is horrible now. Crowded screen makes it near impossible to read the information. I don’t know what they were trying to improve upon, but they need to admit their mistake and scrap the update.
