Creepy company.
They have become too big for their own good.
Zero care about both sellers and buyers, they barely see any of them as customers.
Stop using them - They are way too expensive for what they are/offer!
An absolutely unacceptable customer experience.
I cannot recommend Tradera in any way
If it were possible to give negative stars, Tradera would get them.
My experience with Tradera has been so unacceptable.
An address was registered on my account that I never provided myself.
This incorrect address information subsequently caused problems with a return.
What makes this particularly serious is not only that incorrect information somehow appeared in their system, but the way Tradera has handled the consequences of that error.
Despite the fact that the issue originated from address information that I did not enter myself, the financial responsibility has been placed entirely on me, and I have subsequently been issued an invoice.
I find this both unreasonable and highly questionable.
When a platform handles user data, addresses and transactions, customers should reasonably be able to expect a basic level of data integrity, traceability and accountable case handling.
Unfortunately, their customer service has only made the experience worse. Instead of properly investigating how this address was registered on my account or taking responsibility for the resulting return issue, they simply shift the blame back onto the customer.
There has been no genuine attempt to resolve the matter, no satisfactory explanation and seemingly no interest whatsoever in investigating whether the error originated within their own system.
For a company of Tradera’s size, I find this particularly concerning.
A marketplace platform depends heavily on user trust, accurate data processing, transparency and effective dispute resolution.
When something goes wrong, the priority should be to establish what actually happened and find a fair solution – not simply invoice the customer and disclaim all responsibility.
I find it extremely difficult to understand how Tradera can charge a customer for the consequences of an address that the customer disputes ever having provided, without first being able to document exactly where, when and how that information was registered.
I simply cannot trust the platform again.
0/5 stars. If negative stars existed, Tradera would deserve them.

The shittiest site.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF TRADERA.
TRADERA DISADVANTAGES NON SWEDISCH CLIENTS.
IN CASE OF A CONFLICT WITH A SWEDISCH PERSON YOU WILL ALWAYS LOOSE.
ALL COMMUNICATION IS IN SWEDISCH GENERATED BY AI.
TRADERA WILL ASK FOR INFORMATION YOU ALREADY SENT AND CLOSE THE CASE. NO REFUND. NO APPEAL POSSIBLE.
8 accounts of 8 family members with accounts permanently blocked for no reason. All accounts had 5 star reviews. A company account with 5 star reviews, parcels sent with invoices. Accounts verified via MitId. Tradera is completely different than it claims to be and I will prove it as soon as possible.

Update / response to Tradera reply,
What I forgot to mention that before the 30 days expire I did report the problem within Tradera App, no response whatsoever, so I contacted customer service chat and asked to login in the website, order number, and then told sorry 30 days are expired and so on!
So I DID REPORT THE PROBLEM BEFORE 30 DAYS, IT WAS YOU (TRADERA) WHO CHOSE TO LET IT SLIDE TO BENEFIT OF THE SWEDISH SELLER WITH 4500 SALES ON TRADERA!, he is more important to tradera than a regular buyer like me!
And the worst of the absolute worst is that to this day I didn't get a reply from tradera for reporting the problem, and the happy seller is still selling!
So I guess the problem is whom is more important to Tradera!
Jeg har købt frimærker på aktion I Tradera, ca. 10 stks, ventet I 3 uger, det kom ikke, kontaktet sælerne, han sagde vent lidt, efter 35 dag, jeg har opgivet at får det købte frimærker, sælgeren ignoreret mig bare, jeg betaler køb beskyttelse til Tradera, så jeg anmeldt det til dem, 3 uger og intet hørt fra dem, I dag kontaktet kundeservice og de sagder at der gået mere en 1 måned siden køb, så køb beskyttelse er udløbet, så de kan og vil ikke gør noget!, farvel og tak!, jeg føler mig til grin første fra en uærlige sælger, og så fra Tradera som jeg betaler køb beskyttelse til så de netop kan hjælpe mod falske sælger og svindler på platformen,
Pas på folk når i handler der ind, de er ikke en seriøs platform og kundeservice!, hold jer langt væk fra dem.

Regardless of all the nice words about buyer protection is pure BS. if you have a claim, the tradera support team dismisses the case entirely. i would highly advise anyone to use tradera. If the item is broken, there is no help.

Tradera can cancel your account if you not delivery just 1 0rder. Scam company be carefull.
I am open a case with EU regulation rules.

Got completely dead projector with missing parts -promoted as "nearly perfect". Lost 50... They asked me to make a movie about this dead body... Amazing...may be a scam site... Stay away. (The only "English" they are willing to communicate called Svenska???).

According to your "Trygg affär / Tryg handel" the amount will become available when the buyer has confirmed the delivery, and at the latest 48-hours after delivery. In my case, 738 744 764, you have withheld the amount for now 72-hours, and i am not excpeting you to do anything during the weekend, meaning you basically locked my money away for 6 whole days with NO EXPLANATION???

Tradera charges for promotion, but leaves sellers completely stranded when buyers don't pay
If you're considering paying extra to feature your listing on Tradera, save your money.
I paid for their promotional features—the little yellow highlight box and supposedly "better placement"—to get more eyes on my item. It worked in driving traffic and getting a lot of bids, but that’s where Tradera’s support completely stops.
The winning bidder simply refused to pay. When I reached out to Tradera for help, their customer support was useless. They collect your money upfront for listing upgrades and take their cut when things go right, but the moment a buyer ghosted, they offered zero assistance to resolve the issue or enforce their own legal terms.
Paying extra to promote an auction is a complete waste if Tradera won't back sellers up when bad-faith bidders ruin the listing. You end up out of pocket for the promotion, out of time, and right back at square one.

NEVER NEVER NEVER buy anything in here.
I purchased something, and within less than three days (way before the seller had to ship the product) I needed to cancel my order.
Long story short: no cancel button, seller would not help me, they washed their hands saying that Klarna should do it (?!), of course Klarna couldn't, since they only handle the refund.
I've been stuck in an eternal loop of going back and forth.
It's a total nightmare that a company doesn't take ownership of their own issues and leave the clients drifting in the middle.

Tradera offered Instabox as a delivery option to Denmark at a cheap price. When I selected it, payment failed repeatedly. My bank (confirmed via phone call) saw zero payment attempts in Nets' system—proving this was a Tradera platform error, not a bank block.
Only when I switched to PostNord (more expensive than instabox) did payment go through.
Tradera refused to refund the difference or honor their advertised Instabox price, despite clear evidence the failure was on their end.
If they can't provide advertised delivery options, they shouldn't offer them. Buyer beware.
----
I was in direct contact with 2 different employees at tradera, and both asked me to take it up with my bank or the seller, refusing Tradera's responsibility.
----
This is not the only time I've had trouble. Once a package got lost in transit to me and Tradera refused to refund and asked me to engage directly with the carrier or the seller. Carrier refused. Seller might have failed with package dimensions, but I was left with no help.
So if and when you use tradera and something goes wrong, don't expect help.
----
Edit:
Tradera's response here on trushpilot is a generic deflection. The link they provided is just their standard customer service page—which already told me twice (via two different employees) that the problem was my bank or Instabox, not their platform. My bank confirmed there were zero payment attempts.
My earlier issue with a lost tracked package? Tradera also refused to help, directing me to the carrier (who refused) and the seller (who also got refused). In both cases, Tradera looked the other way.
If Tradera re-reads this and genuinely want to resolve it, I'm sure they can correlate the transaction and date with the customer support chats I had today to find me.

My account, which had over 3,000 five-star reviews, was permanently blocked without any explanation.
When I try to get in touch with them (which is a struggle), I’m told to contact the security department.
After a month, the security department finally replies, claiming they suspect I logged in from two different locations using different IP addresses. That’s it!!!
You people have the brains of a chicken. If I go on vacation, does that mean I can't log in??? SHAMEFUL AND PATHETIC!! DISGRACEFUL!!

Customer service should be easier to reach. Give us an email we can reach out to, or an easier way to request lot adjustments. This current system is a waste of time.
For reference, I accidentally uploaded a lot with the wrong pictures. Someone bid on it, then mentioned how the pictures were incorrect. I have to talk to a person to remove this lot, for some reason, and MUST do that via the live chat. This is something that should be an email. There is no reason for this to be a live chat issue that takes upwards to twenty minutes when it could be a 1 minute email, or simply a button. This just wastes EVERYONE'S time. Take notes from Catawiki's customer support.
Fix your system.

I'm forced to give a 1 rating for all the recent changes to the website.
The main reason is that after changing the shipping address, it's impossible to pay for the product. The website blocks payment. The only solution is for the seller to change the shipping method. If the seller doesn't offer a different shipping method, payment for the item is impossible.
The problem occurs with both card payments and Google Pay.
The delivery point selection is terrible. There is a limited list of delivery points; if you want to select a different one, you have to change the delivery address, which results in an error and the inability to pay.
With this functionality, using the website is impossible.

Straight up horrible customer service. For the love of god stay away from this platform. You will be scammed either by other users or Tradera itself.
I sold a Pokémon card with pictures clearly showing the damage. After receiving the package, the Buyer made a claim that the card was damaged although it was clearly shown in the pictures. The Buyer’s claim was rejected. However, the Buyer just opened another case that now the card was allegedly fake - a sudden new issue that wasn’t raised before. I was then requested to prove the authenticity which is just impossible. There’s no way to prove authenticity except from Expert witness which Tradera obviously should have at their disposal if they are serious about being a platform for TCG cards. The card was a reverse holo from legendary collection which has yet to be faked due to its unique firework pattern. But Tradera didn’t give a flying f and refunded the buyer and I got a trashed card back. So apparently you can just keep opening new cases until you get it your way as a buyer. So for the love of god, stay away from Tradera! Horrible horrible customer service.

Everything went wrong! Beware of this company. I ordered or won bids on 3 items. One I received. Two I did not! I paid for buyer protection but even after sending proof of my claim, I’m still waiting on a refund for two products that I have not received. Tradera is not even reading my messages. I think that I’ve lost my orders and money now. Beware of Tradera!!!
Update! Thanks for replying to me on this platform. It might be better if you replied to my messages on Tradera!!! Again you are replying by saying and doing nothing. I have replied to you, but you are not reading my messages.
This company is a joke! I don’t even blame the sellers. Buying customer protection with Tradera is filling their pockets and as buyer you are left out of pocket. I’ll take this further!
