Sells broken items, says they're tested and works in one area of the auction then below that says she "doesn't test for ....functionality"

Sends known broken items, then forces you to pay good money after bad to return ship. Offers a token $4 dollars to make you go away, but then also states she doesn't do partial refunds.

Blocks you from future auctions if you give a negative or neutral feedback, that's feedback extortion that falsely inflates her feedback percentage.

Won't photograph what's in an open box, just the box itself, then makes UPS damage claim on an item that was broken before it shipped. Attached picture is one example of many.

Reason of review: Damaged or defective.

Thats because Karen doesn't even exist and never has .

Evil people will always find ways to hurt good people, who want nothing more than to make good-faith purchases of the things that they need in their lives. Karen Payne owns Slibuy.

She knows that her cheating business practices earns her a lot of money, and hurts a lot of people. And think about this... She says that, in almost EVERY listing, each item is tested to ensure that it powers up. To do that, the item MUST be taken out of the box.

So, why is she so reluctant to photograph an item that is ALREADY OUT OF THE BOX? That's because she knows that she's sending beat up junk to people, and passing it off as almost new. Then she blames the shipper, and files a claim. Where I come from, that's called fraud.

People don't purchase something on the Internet that is described as "like new customer return," only to receive something that looks like it came out of a dumpster, which it likely did. No one buys a box of "new" light fixtures, hoping that they get a box of shattered glass instead. Nobody buys a large lot of various fans in the midst of raging wildfires, to donate to firefighter encampments to ease their discomfort, hoping that the fans won't work and show up crushed, worthless, and unable to power up, because they weren't even "packed" at all. Rather, they were just taped all together.

These are just some examples of what she did to me. There's a special place in *** for people like that.

I hope she gets there sooner than later. But even before that, I would hope that she spends some time in prison, in the very unlikely event that she is reformable.

i just thought i purchased abreather and it turns out to be cleaning fluid.v who can figure?

Guest

I sell on there slibuy site. They stole a expensive gold chain and tell me that they are not responsible for consignment items if lost or stolen Employee theft is encouraged there.

It's a stick up with no gun. They know what they are doing.... but I did not just take it in the rear. I called the attorney general....

and a lawyer. See u in court thief's

In 2015 I got a lot of a Harbor Freight multimaster knock off and a big 1/2 drill with a broken cord for $8. Not a thing was wrong with the multimaster and once I bought some blades to use with it I got some use out of it.

I just taped the cord of the drill and I haven't broken it yet. The multimaster made me some money before I changed jobs and didn't have to do side work anymore. With those kind of auctions, figure you're buying junk and bid accordingly.

It's good, you got lucky. It's not, well at least you didn't spend too much.

Guest

I posted a scale for sell. Karensbarn placed a bid and won.

I started 24 to 48 hrs payment must be made after the auction closes. She hasn't responded to any of my messages, she hasn't paid me yet. WTF.

Pay your bill. It's been 5 days now.

Why would you buy from anyone with an ad like that. Make them show all pics you want to see, if they don't/won't, move on.

eBay can't help you after you read the ad and purchased anyway. It is not the responsibility of the delivery service to give you your refund and I'd she tries to get you to do that- it's fraud! Have you even tried calling eBay? Or by chance did you pay with PayPal, they can help too.

My recommendation is to get PayPal first, read each as very carefully, and call eBay I'd you need to. They answer the phone.

Guest

I disagree. I had several purchases with Karensbarn and when I had a problem she paid for the return postage and gave me a full refund. She always took care of me and made me a happy satisfied customer.

Guest

Most of the items they sell say damaged/broken. Did you expect them to automatically repair themselves during shipment?

Not paying attention. They expect brand spanking new items for that low of a price????

Guest

You obviously didn’t read the description before you purchased the item. The majority of the product sold from Karen’s barn were returns.

Guest

Bought several Items and never had a problem . Zero problem on the one return I had.

Guest

GREAT I HAVE BOUGHT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF THEIR ITEMS AND HAVE ONLY HAD A QUESTION ABOUT 1 ITEM SORRY TO SEE THEM OFF E BAY

Guest

You get what you pay for. If you want brand new then go buy retail. Very satisfied customer

I paid for something that was advertised as "brand-new," and what I got was a sewage-encrusted, beat up OLD Shop-Vac that wasn't even the same vacuum as the box in which it arrived,with a filter that was absolutely destroyed. I have seen things in dumpsters that look better.

My next door neighbor could smell it from my doorstep, so of course, I could smell it before I opened the box. Typical of Karen Payne, she told me that all of that happened in shipping. Of course, she never gave me a refund, even though I sent her a video of what I'd received, with her stickers all over it. She just apologized, because, apparently, the FedEx guy must have used this beat-up old sewage-encrusted vacuum, and then put it back in the box, and brought it to my house.

Yep, right. Sure, I believe that. Not.

From what I understand from the feedback left for her by other customers, she did the same to me as she did to them, and that is, no matter what the problem is, she blames the shipper, and if she decides to give a refund, she files a claim with the shipper. Where I come from, we call that fraud.

Guest

They have a disclaimer. I have bought a few things from them ...

not prefect but no big problems . Wow what a lot of big babies....

This kind of things happening across the board. This is why they have been shut down. Karensbarn was a very shady group that list is things working and sold them clearly broken

How would you like it if you received a "brand new" Shop-Vac from karensbarn that was listed as a new store return, that actually look like it have been taken out of the dumpster. The Shop-Vac that that I received wasn't even the same model as that displayed on the box.

The Shop-Vac was beaten up from years of use, and was coated and caked with filth and sewage on the inside. It was so bad, that the air filter was completely destroyed, was covered in sewage, and essentially disintegrated. I'm surprised that I didn't get dysentery cleaning it out. That happened because I'm a big baby?

Oh, did you ever ponder why karensbarn intentionally does NOT take photographs of the items when they're out of the box being tested to ensure that they power on? It would take her two clicks of the camera to photograph the items when out of the box. But she doesn't do that. It's because she knows the contents are either disgusting, broken, or missing.

But the most likely explanation is the karensbarn doesn't even test to see if an item will power up. How would you feel if you paid for 22 shower heads, but were only sent 10, and karensbarn said "too bad?" When you take money from people, and only send them half of what they purchased, where I come from, that's called stealing. Or how would you feel if you purchased 5 light fixtures, and instead, received a box full of smashed glass? Right again!

It was because I'm a big baby! And, the seller, karensbarn, despite having been told by eBay that the United States Postal Service will not ship broken glass because it's hazardous material, still insisted that I send it back with a USPS label. Needless to say, Karen Payne at karensbarn doesn't get to tell me what to do, especially when it violates the rules and regulations of the United States Postal Service. But then again, I'm just a big baby, right?

Oh, and how about receiving box fans that was supposed to be new, that stopped working almost immediately? I sent a video to eBay, PayPal, and that pillar of the community, karensbarn, demonstrating plug in the fan into an electrical outlet, while plugging other appliances into the same electrical to show that everything else works, except of course for the fan, and was refused a refund. PayPal finally came through with their guarantee 3 months later. That was a fun process.

Yep, this must have all happened because I'm a big baby. Thank you for pointing out that when an operation like karensbarn steals from me, that it's just because I'm a big baby. Thank you for clarifying that. By the way...

Karensbarn used to list nearly 3,000 items for auction every single month. She got shut down a couple of weeks after I filed a three-page formal complaint, and I imagine a lot of others did so too. I like to think that I am a part of the fact that she was banned from trading on eBay.

To coin a phrase...bwahahahahaha. Hugs and kisses, Just a Big Baby
