Catawiki should have Caveat Emptor slapped on it in bold bright text as this is a site where buyer beware is apt. I’ve purchased a few items from the site and watched seller behaviour and some trends are worrying, especially where seller and fake buyer bids can inflate an auction. For example some anonymous bid names ramp up the price up to the reserve or expert’s level and step back. Classic manipulation. Unfortunately as all bidder names are anonymous it isn’t easy to identify culprits and Catawiki clearly isn’t policing this on their end. I’ve also seen some prints from world renowned artists regularly drip fed onto the site by expert sellers, these prints labelled as “rare” when clearly they aren’t if being listed once or twice a month just not concurrently. I’ve alerted Catawiki and they do nothing as it suits them to have traffic. So Buyer Beware, this site isn’t for the faint hearted. Yes you may find a deal but with 9% auction fee slapped on you would expect Catawiki to try much harder to make the site TRUSTWORTHY. I don’t trust the site, but I may still return to grab a bargain if I’m lucky.
