"Hi All Not sure if i am the only one The auction has been practising fraud and providing incorrect descriptions. They do not accept card payments or cash, and once the money is transferred, you cannot claim it back from the bank. If you ask the auctioneer about the discrepancies in the description of the item you received, they will not issue a refund. I've seen too many negative reviews, and I'm unsure how this is not monitored by iBidder. I've bought many items through iBidder with other auctioneers and never had any issues before. Based on the reviews I encountered, I decided not to pursue this further, as I have lost £4,005 of my hard-earned money. The car I received was filled with mold, and the pictures provided did not show any registration plate. It was advertised as a 2021 model on a cherished plate, but it turned out to be a 2010 model. I’m extremely disappointed not only with the inaccurate registration plate and description but also because the car was a non-runner when I received it. I have since repaired it, which cost me an additional £1,500 to replace the gearbox."

"Its a big scameer Avoide"

"Shocking give a very wide berth. All items deliverd. I was going to bid on car. Then extortionate commisions and fixed fee. Obviously conmen and crooks. Do not go near"

"Purchased diamond earrings over a month ago, I have been chasing delivery since. Contacting the bank to receive a refund. Absolute scam site they send you tracking details then doesn’t send.just generate a tracking number. So unprofessional when you manage to talk to someone. Do not use this company."

"I bought two vehicles from this company recently, After winning the auction went to collect both vehicles, one had engine damage and body damage which wasn't mentioned at all in the description, so i sent an email request to take the vehicle back as i left the vehicle in their yard but, i was told they are not responsible as i didn't call them to check the vehicle condition. But, it wasn't mentioned at all in the description. Then, the second vehicle I rang them and sent lots of emails to find the yard address to collect the vehicle. They didn't disclose the vehicle registration at all for me to check roadworthiness and to insure. Then, when i tried to collect the vehicle told me staffs are on annual leave so that i can't collect for two days then, send me an invoice for storage of £100 per day and totalling £3600 storage fee where I only have to pay £300 for three days and removed the vehicle from my winning list after three days from sending me the invoice. Very doggie company, stay away and their platform is i bidder, stay away from most auctions in i bidder platform"

"Update. My father bought a car from Asset Auctions Ltd in Aug 2024. He paid almost £10,000. Communication with this company is impossible - they have no phone number. And they don't reply to emails. We have not received a car or our money back. They agreed 2 months ago to start paying us back in £500 monthly increments. We have only received £500 so far. They are behind and do not reply to emails again. Their accounts are overdue on Companies House so they are about to go under clearly. Their director, Nigel Priestley, has already let 2 other companies go into liquidation - this is all public info on Companies House. TOTAL SCAMMERS"

"I purchased an item from Fiveways Assets and paid by bank transfer immediately. Since then, it has been over three weeks and I have received no delivery, no update, and no response to any of my emails. I have all payment confirmations and communication attempts documented, but the company has simply not replied at all. For an auction house operating internationally, this level of communication and customer service is extremely disappointing and worrying. I sincerely hope they resolve this situation, but so far my experience has been very negative."

"This is the worst experience I've ever had with buying a car. I've paid around £7k for a vehicle that was damaged, holes all over it...inside & out. There is flashing lights on the front of the car that if fell into the wrong hands could fill it with any explosive material and drive it anywhere. I've spent approx. 20+ hours on the phone to DVLA, Land Rover, HMRC as the car was a former ministry of defence car. Its over 3 months now and the car still cannot be driven on the road legally !!!"
