I think it is a great site where to buy and sell in Switwerland it is number 1

The number one Swiss Site for trustworthy bidding

I am in Switzerland and use Ricardo ch to buy all kinds of stuff depending on what I want Ricardo has several advantages over other sites like Anibis Tutti Petitesannonces ch and Marketplace Firstly they have an ID and Phone verification system and secondly they a great feedback system on both buyers and sellers This can give you confidence that the seller will deliver the goods on time or that the buyer will pay promptly Ricardo sells both low priced stuff e g I bought a second-hand child s piggy bank for CHF3 and they sell more expensive stuff e g I bought an item for CHF 2625 In the last two months I have made at least 60 purchases with many of them in the hundreds of francs So far I have never had any big problem which wasn t immediately resolved directly with the seller One time the seller gave me his old bank account number by mistake Even though the money was temporarily lost he sent me the item An Apple Watch 8 GPRS for CHF 150 immediately trusting me to send him the missing money when it was returned On another occasion I had not received the goods after a week so I contacted the seller He apologised profusely that he had not noticed my payment and the goods arrived the next morning Here are some tips 1 Ricardo have increased their sellers fee from 9 to 10 This means that some sellers will set their minimum price to a level which is 10 higher than they would have sold the item privately 2 Sellers who do not set a minimum bid price tend to get a lot more interest in their goods People love the competitiveness of bidding and hate being told what to pay 3 Don t be afraid of bidding the maximum you are willing to pay Nobody will know what your maximum is and the auto-bidder will make sure that you never pay a penny more than the last preceding highest bid So you might bid CHF 299 but actually win the auction for CHF 210 4 Paying for items via bank transfer is dead easy I use UBS and my camera to scan Ricardo s QR code at the end of an auction The amount and all details are then auto-filled There s nothing to type so you can t make a mistake 5 If you are selling a common item with a commonly known price such as as second-hand Apple Watch or a gold coin or a TV or a phone there is no point in putting a minimum price There are loads of people scouring for popular items and you will immediately get low-ball bids which will accelerate to the full market value as the auction draws to a close No minimum on anything always attracts interest from people who wouldn t have thought of looking Popular items always get bids in the last few minutes of an auction so you will get full value 6 I suggest sellers arranging auctions to end at times when people are awake and not at asleep and not at meal times You want your bidders with their fingers on the button as the auction draws to a close Auction time is extended to three more minutes if someone snipes at the end in the last 3 minutes 7 Before bidding always check the stated postage cost Always check the feedback the seller received from other buyers Check that the seller s address and telephone number have been verified by Ricardo Be extra cautious if a seller is selling a high value item for the first time or if his previous sales and feedback all related to low value items Check by entering the previous item number as a search 8 Be dubious of poor quality photos or vague descriptions such as Large unsorted 20kg coin collection with many gold silver and rare items If the collection contained particularly rare or valuable items they would have been specifically mentioned and photographed by the seller Vague descriptions of bulk items like Large box of tools 25kg with the hint that it may contain valuable things to be extracted are typically dealer ploys designed as a way to get rid of the stuff that nobody wants Obviously the photo will show the most valuable item on top 9 Be wary of someone selling two identical or nearly identical items in two lots when they could have been more logically combined into a single lot e g two lots of five silver bars instead of one lot of 10 silver bars The seller may be using one of the two lots to test how high you will go by a process known as shill bidding The seller ends up selling one of the two lots to himself but he now knows how high you are willing to go for the other lot

A trustworthy way to find antique items

A trustworthy way to find antique and vintage items in Switzerland with low cost shipping

Worst bidding app ever

Worst bidding app worst customer service you risk to buy fake things and as buyer you are not protected it s not professional at all

horrible

horrible I was scammed on Ricardo 3 times with fake items and they do nothing about it Just best to stick to ebay - at least some buyer and seller protection Avoid dealing with Ricardo - full of fakes and staff of ricardo does not care of his customers

Beware of Ricardo ch If somebody does

Beware of Ricardo ch If somebody does not pay for what you sold you still have to pay Ricardo fees They say they will return the fees but you have to demand the fees back Good luck Customer service does not exist Try leaving the worst comment on Ricardo FB site nobody will care There are no humans behind Ricardo ch Ask info at Ricardo ch anything you will get an aut answer Worst comp ever can t say what I really think
