Bidder Reviews for Great Canadian Auctions (816)

One book I won, said “pristine condition” I had it graded and it came back a 6.0, I don’t know if I would consider that pristine. So I wouldn’t take there “grading recommendations” in to consideration, they’ll put “mint” or “near mint” to get you to bid higher. It’s just a way to try to sell you a book for more. When in fact the grades are no where’s near what they say. So definitely try to use your own judgement. I’ve had this happen with several books I’ve won from there auction, other than that, there pretty easy to work with this far. I also had a few books arrive in bent shippers or boxes that looked like they were tossed around.

The payment process was extremely clunky and my questions, although responded to, were not very helpful. I had to figure out the payment process myself and could not readily obtain details of the transaction. The shipping process also provided little to no communication.

Sean@ Great Canadian Auctions stole over 16k from me do not buy from these people. He than resold the items on March 30th onliveauctioneers.com andliveauctioneers.com has not helped one bit so dont rely on this website for any help either.

This company is fraud. I won a hulk 181 and they said I did not and said they were the winning bidder themselves. Then called me a f’n stupid American. Then text me he’s refunding also my other 4 books that o won. Sean can you call me regarding a hulk 181 that I won but never received the invoice to pay Just tried Call back when free < 5 Messages New Message fr. ヘ Great Canadian Auctions Wed, Apr 1, 2026 9:39 AM PDT Hi there, you won this book on Monday's auction, unfortunately we are not amazon and our shipping times are 10-15 days from the date of the payment. We will provide tracking once it is picked up for delivery. I’ve refunded your money for the books you did win Classy

I won 3 lots in early March. I paid for them ASAP. Toward the end of the month, I call the auction house to find out about my items. They said shipping would reach out to me. He we are a week later and nothing. I called again today plus I’ve sent numerous message both text and emails. Nothing! Soon I’ll be contacting Live auctions for a full refund.

Always have a great experience with Great Canadian Auctions! Fast delivery and secure packaging. Comics are in in amazing condition and easily high grade!!

Very difficult to process payment. Items were described very inaccurately.

Very professional and solid Auction house. When I sent an e-mail with a question about payment, they got back quickly. Thumbs up.

Great service

nice stuff at low price but ACE COA is not sure is legit autographe shiping fast

Everything was great

Perfect transaction all around.

Great auction house to deal with.

An upstanding and outstanding auction experience staffed by good folks that bend over backwards to service their bidders. Bid with complete confidence.

These folks are a well oiled machine. Nice people, anyone would be lucky to get an item from them.

Dec 29: First auction. $20. PAID immediately. Sent email to notify. NO RESPONSE. Jan 5: Second auction. $347. Wait to pay until deadline. Jan 6: They open DISPUTE for first auction for non-payment. "After us spending almost 2 hrs looking for your payment". They found it tho, but blamed me, "you could've just said (paid by) paypal and it would've made both of our lives much easier". Only two methods of payment, why is this so challenging? And, why is anything in THEIR process MY fault? Jan 8: Sent message asking if DISPUTE had a negative impact on my account. NO RESPONSE. Jan 11: PAID second auction. Sent detailed email and message to notify to be even more helpful. NO RESPONSE. Jan 15: Sent message, "Follow up to my previous two emails on the 8th and 11th". NO RESPONSE. Jan 16: Finally, .. you have no disputes on your account... you have a 100 % payment rating so there should be no issues with you registering for any auctions". They confirmed they had my money and all was good. AND no disputes on my account? cool. Jan 18: Tried to register for next auction. REGISTRATION DECLINED. Sent "I've tried to register for your next auction and it says I've been declined". NO RESPONSE. Jan 20: They open DISPUTE for second auction for non-payment. I message, "Are you SERIOUSLY opening up another dispute?????" Jan 20: At 3:43pm "If your referring to the Jan 5th auction we dealt with this last week". NO I'M NOT, I just received an email notification/says on payment page. Didn't believe me. I sent them screenshots. Didn't believe me. Jan 20: At 3:51pm account suddenly marked 'PAID', and the second DISPUTE cleared. Didn't matter, damage done. CONTINUED to tell me I was wrong despite that I included screenshots and message text. They end with "I can refund you your money and we will keep the items. You seem to be trying to prove a point that doesn't exist and frankly we have spent too much time on this." They cancelled and refunded. Subsequent messages NO RESPONSE.

Comics had many more flaws than pictured. Spider-man 67 has 9.4/9.6 listed. Received was about 6.5/7.0 with a foreign substance and wear all over (not pictured, photo possibly altered). A loss of about $250. Auctioneer blew me off after finally reaching him. Seems ok with misleading people to increase profits.

Great lots to bid on! Great Canadian Auction house does an amazing job from hammer to delivery and everything in between! Thank you!

There terms clearly state that they will use the credit card on file used to register then send email after email asking you to send cc info to random email. Sorry not going to happen fallow your own terms or change them.

I didn’t receive one of the items that I ordered and I tried calling and emailing for weeks without any response from the company. I finally reached Sean by phone and as soon as I explained my situation of not receiving one item, he hung up on me. Avoid this auction house, they are dishonest.
