Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 41 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed satisfaction with the quality of products received, often highlighting items like toothpaste, Blu-ray discs, and specific seeds as meeting or exceeding expectations. Reviewers frequently praised the communication from sellers and the promptness of transactions, noting that items arrived quickly and in good condition. The ability to find obscure or niche items, such as French films or specific mower parts, was also a significant positive for several users. However, a substantial number of people were dissatisfied with the website's functionality and customer support, reporting issues with filing complaints and receiving no response from the platform or sellers. Many consumers experienced problems with non-delivery, fake products, or receiving counterfeit items, with sellers often becoming unresponsive after purchase. There are strong warnings from some users to avoid the site due to concerns about certain activities and a lack of recourse for buyers.

Never Received My Purchase

I purchased a Calendar from seller kiapstar. I never received a tracking number. It's been almost 30 days and I still haven't received my item. I have tried contacting the seller 3 times and have received no response. I tried to use ecrater's online form to file a complaint, but it is inoperable.

Well made Oregon Duck Jersey

I too ordered from eCarter and after a month I had not received the Jersey. Checking the USPS tracking # I seen it stop moving for over 20 days, I contacted Lisa at eCarter and in 7 days I had my package. I’ve seen other reviews saying eCarter is not legit all I know is I had a problem and Lisa made it right and I will order again from eCarter. Thank you Lisa.

This company is not legit

This company is not legit. It takes your money with absolutely no idea if or when you'll get your purchase. I waited for over a month for a Christmas present for my son and still have not received it. Luckily I purchased it thru PayPal and was able to get my money refunded. Stay away from this merchant!

I ordered a dvd expecting to get an original copy. I received a pirated copy instead. They probably spent 50¢ on it but they charged me $14.76. It did arrive quickly and in great condition and good quality but this is stealing profit from Netflix who owns the rights to the movie. Not cool. The seller’s name is usa1984

Stay Away From The Metallicat Store

Ordered a tapestry from "The Metallicatstore" two weeks ago (12.13.2024) and have received zero information of any kind regarding the status of the order. I attempted to email them to see if they could give me a heads up but, zero response. No emails, no tracking or shipping info, or any contact of any kind after 11 days. I'd definitely be leery about ordering from this site. It appears it is nothing more than a scam. I never even received a confirmation containing my order number. Not a happy camper. I wont be ordering from here again.

Problems with order

Ordered and everything seemed to be going ok..
The first tracking number for order came, but didn't marry up with any Chinese delivery sites, and that order has become 'missing'
Second order placed, could not get a tracking number or response, but weeks later (when messages finally answered) soon became obvious that second order not dispatched and I'm not sure if it ever was..
Cancelled order, and pushed refund and complaints policy with Ecrater...

Thankfully, seller refunded (after persistence) but never any response from Ecrater.

There are bargains on Ecrater, but it seems very marmite - if it goes well it 5/5 but any problems its 0/5

My one star was getting the refund, else it would be nil
Beware!!!

No way to see order once placed

There is no way to view your order online, once placed. All you get is an email to notify you that you have placed an order. From then on, you’re reliant on email from the seller.

If the seller ignores you or does not communicate well, there is nothing that you can do.

The issue with not being able to see your order online is that there is no way to manage it.

The email included a message from the seller that I should add a phone number.
Where and how do I do that? There is no way for me to edit the order. There is no central data source.

Want to know the status of your order?
Too bad. All you can do is monitor your email to see if the seller has notified you.

I would advise you not to use Ecrater.

For simplicity, buyers on Ecrater are not required to register or create buyer accounts. The order notification email includes not only the order details but also a link that the buyer can use to contact the seller directly. If you need to message the seller, simply click the link or copy and paste it into your browser to write your message. Buyers also receive a separate email with a feedback review link, should they wish to leave a review for the merchant.

DVD Came in an Envelope Not DVD Case

I purchased a DVD "Mischief" 1985 from RareSunrise Sep 27, 2024. It arrived Oct. 15 after I inquired about the delay but did not come with a DVD case as shown, but just the disc in an envelope. The disc did not work when tried to play it Oct. 17 and e-mailed the seller and still waiting for reply from RareSunrise Customer Service, but fear it is a $13 loss for me.

My complaint with eCRATER is their site asked for feedback but the "comment for seller" box kept telling me I surpassed the 200 word limit, when I had 50 words left. I tried 4 times but unable to explain my Negative Rating.

On Oct. 22 eCrater posted that RareSunrise refunded my $12.98 in full. Today I got my bank statement and on 10-21 RareSunrise posted $2.98 - I am an even $10 short of a full refund. Go Figure.
