    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I purchased a guitar from one of the sellers in their marketplace. The guitar arrived with unrepairable cosmetic damage because it was packed poorly and the seller did not purchase insurance (even though he easily could have through Reverb). The seller has been unresponsive. I have done everything Reverb has asked me to do. They offer full buyer protection yet they have only offered me a mere $450 (guitar cost over $1000) to do a repair. The only way to fix it is to repaint the guitar again which will lower the value of the instrument and likely be more than what they are offering. I declined this offer and requested a full refund per their buyer protection because I do not want the guitar. They said they would continue to try to work with the seller but I have not heard anything back and they no longer respond to my messages.

    Horrible customer service - avoid this website at all costs. They locked me out by suspending my account for no apparent reason and I apparently am unable to restore it due to no ability to contact anyone to even find out the reason. If I could give them a negative rating I would. Buy and sell elsewhere
