What a waste of a company. Worse than a waste - their wording gives a false sense of security where none should exist.

- ddalex 7y agoConsidering that they brag about blocking 99.99% of frauds, and still there are so many cases of stolen property happening on their site - it seems that the 99.99% number is an exaggeration. As such, they are obviously deceiving the owners through misrepresentation of what they do. Second, they have automated emails for dealing with "voluntary parting" furthermore suggesting this is not an isolated occurrence. I'm just saying - if I'd want to make off with tons of equipment, one novel idea for me would be to set up a legitimate private marketplace, fake renter info, send an acolyte to pick up the equipment, and then deny all responsibility. But never subscribe to malice what is explainable through incompetence and so on.
- munk-a 7y agoI think it's bordering on conspiracy to commit theft honestly. "Setting up a marketplace" is this jargon that's thrown around and promotes all sorts of libretarian and free market connotations, but this company has clearly not done the ground work to actually establish a safe marketplace. It's like running a flea market but occasionally getting raided by a gang that steals everyone's stuff, if that happens three times and you continue to operate the market without addressing the issue... you're clearly not an honest operator.
