Is Catawiki a joke?

I think trying to get back the excess of 15 euros from that poor seller tells a lot about your eccentric character, and generalising that to all Italians is just pure racism - Italy is an awesome country and when it comes to watches, in my opinion the best source for low-key rares

Yes Catawiki is not perfect but reading about your issues made me better understand their decisions, you should take your advice and chill a bit yourself 😀

Minimally, definitely don't generalise and build a grudge for 10 euros

Just let it flow, don’t do anything

Edit: Also they reply to phones, but not too helpful either

I'm not sure how you "accidentally" placed a bid, but personally, if I win an auction, I pay.

If you don't pay, it's possible that your Catawiki account might be cancelled, but I doubt there will be any other consequences.

Like I said, I can pay. But after I receive my item, I will refuse it within 14 days, as required by law. What's the point of shipping back and forth? It’s easier for me to pay a fee for an “erroneous” bid and not receive the item at all than to deal with shipping.

After making the payment you will get the opportunity to send messages to the seller. You could then already tell him you plan to return it and make the bid undone.
