No auction channel owned by RM themselves and bad shipper associated
This auction house have two big service problems that can be become deal breakers. 1. They don't have their own auction channel, so customers have to use 3rd-party auction channels like LiveAuction. However, they charge 30 % fee, then customers have to pay the fee plus the extra 3rd-party channel fee, leading to 35 % fee for a purchase. In addition, their product price is relatively high, so in total, the final cost is pretty high. 2. The do have a couple of shippers but the service quality of the shippers can be a big problem. For instance, Packengers is one of the shippers I worked with, but their service quality is really a problem. Their pick up is slow, and they do not respond to customer critical request and hence leading to high import duty to pay on the destination side, which can be easily prevented before shipping, if they take customer's request to better prepare the shipping document. The only reason I purchased from this auction house if that they sometimes have some authentic Chinese antiques. This might be only positive thing about this auction house.

Dear Sir/Madam, I'm sorry to see that you have had negative experiences when bidding with LiveAuctioneers! I would like to clarify a few things for future purchases: 1. We do have our own auction channel! Bidding is possible on our website, as well as other platforms (with no extra commission!). It's entirely your choice on which platforms you leave your bids. 2. We have a long list of recommended third-party shippers. The shipper you chose is not at the top of that list. The choice of shipper is also entirely up to you, it saddens us to see you would write us a bad review for an experience with an external shipper! I hope this clears up a few of the misunderstandings above. We hope to welcome you again as a bidder in our future sales. Should you have any questions or need advice, you are always welcome to contact us before making bidding or shipping arrangements!

Dear Sir, as is stated in every description, condition reports are available on request. We urge buyers to request condition reports and look at the high resolution images on our website, before the auction. We did not receive any requests for the lot you refer to, and as such can not bear any responsability. As you can see on our website, we provide top notch condition reports. Furthermore, despite the absence of a condition report request on your behalf, we have offered you compensation. We hope to welcome you again as a bidder in the future, despite this experience. Kind regards, Rob

One big mess, every time things go wrong, no reply on emails or after more than a week, sent wrong purchased items (buyer have to wait longer, to receive items), ask buyer to pay twice for there mistakes, after I refuse the auction house tell me to pay. After weeks I have sent them a reminder because they still didn't refund the transport costs and again excuses.... they were forgot to refund me. Regarding to the last auction, now 3 weeks after I buy 1 item I still didn't have received it. Every time excuse, but after they have made again mistakes no fast delivery to satisfied the costumer. No, after the have received the money they take 1 week more to sent the item.... ridicules!!!!!!!!!!
