Totally agree with the fake bidding. My bid instantly was out bid, then the exact same item showed up with a couple of items from the same lot again.... The next week.... In a new auction.

Also took payment then didn't reply that they won't send unless I pay postage. Should have let me know before taking my money?!?

Every time you bid on an item with seconds to go there always seems to be another bidder that bids over you with a second left, apparently Lloyds have bidded on items to bump up the sale price then if thats the case STAY AWAY!

Do not buy any jewellery from Lloyds auctions, pearls are fake. The 7-8mm Genuine Natural White & Pink & Purple Akoya Cultured Pearl Necklace were fakes from Aliexpress (China) for $5. They even used the same photo as Aliexpress, just lazy fraud.

Won at auction and after they were unable to deliver items they just kept my money. I wont on the 03/03/2020 and it is not 17/04/2020
Don't hand your money over to this company. If they can't supply the service or goods they will just keep your money.
Their customer support is also a total joke. Insulting at best and completely full of crap.

Good luck! And steer clear of this company. If you like money or the items you can purchase with it then this is not the place for you!

Purchased a few things from Lloyds and never had any issues. Super happy with the service provided.The staff were very helpful and friendly. Will come back to purchase more items in the future!

Lloyds auction online is full of Shill-bidding trying to push the prices up. (Most likely the vendor) Even if you are the highest bidder, no guarantee you have actually got won item. Out of nowhere, there is apparently a reserve on items.
I will and would advise others to avoid this shonky online auction place.

for the third time i have bought faulty misleading products minor repairs required when item is useless for anything including parts items sold online thru actions for people to bid online.

I wanted more information on a classic car up for auction, and the auction notes stated "contact for a video inspection". I left 3 voicemails for Frank at Lloyds, called the office twice and left him a further 2 messages and even sent an email with no return communication at all prior to the fall of the hammer. I was the final bidder but my bid fell short of the reserve. Frank then called me, told me the offer was well short so I made an increased offer and have not heard from him in 48 hours. Seems this might be their operational model.

I expect I will see this car back on line again in future.

Advertises 2013 model when its actually 2006 model, was the highest bidder on item and communicated various times with staff as to actual age of machine. After auction was subjected to sudden "reserve not met" and even after raising my bid - was not even communicated that bid refused. Back on auction - STILL advertising as 2013 model!! that's just plain underhand!

This is the third experience I have had with Lloyds. the only positive one was when I went to a factory unit to physically pick up my goods.
The other two times I have had to send numerous emails and make long winded phonecalls just to find out when they will shipp my goods, not to mention also being hung up on by some upstart in accounts.
These guys are a classic case of left hand does not know what the right hand is doing type of operation.
What a shame.
If you like waiting long periods for your goods then purchase your items at Lloyds auctions!

Warning scammers - do not deal with this company
Purchased item end of January paid for item and delivery
Still have not recieved and now they are telling me that delivery wasnt included.

6 Items bid on and won, paid $10 each for delivery totalling $60 delivery. All arrived in one box a week and a half later. Items didn’t work(electronic). Don’t bother with these auctions unless you inspect before you bid. You will seldom get a good deal only pay extra for rubbish.

Bid on an auction. Won the auction, Got payment advice. paid for item and freight well before due date. Then started to get emails saying payment is due, etc. I sent proof of payment, only to be told there has been some confusion and they will have to refund my money. I replied that i wanted the item i had won fairly and squarely. LLoyds rep said we cant do that, but couldn't tell me why. Kept on saying we will refund you. I can only think one of their staff stole the item, and thats why they mucked me around. I ended up giving them my bank details and it still took over a month to get my money back. Would advise against dealing with these crooks.

Site doesn't honour the highest bid as winning price. Site has reserves not advertised. Sales call tried to sell at there "special" price. This site is misleading and waste of time.Avoid this site.

Recently there was a auction in my home town and I bought a few items totalling $30 and Lloyd’s wanted an extra $150 for shipping to their warehouse 100km away . There was no option to not pay the shipping and then I was expected to drive a hour to collect my items during office hours . When I lived only 2 minutes from the action auction location . They are simply using the shipping to make $$$$ . It’s also easy to see they use postage stamp low res photos so bidders can’t get a clear look at items . Customer service is horrendous and their so called 24/7 customer service line is never answered after hours . I can’t see how companies like this stay in business as long as they do .
