Sehr leicht, ein Konto zu eröffnen. Sehr gute Konditionen und Zinsen.

Schnell und einfach. Auch die Erreichbarkeit des Personals per Telefon war sehr gut. Ein paar der gelieferten Exemplare waren nicht ganz gerade, aber ich habe sehr schnell und unproblematisch eine Rückerstattung für diese bekommen. Die Qualität von 95% der Exemplare ware sehr hoch, und hat ganz meinen Erwartungen entsprochen. Ich würde diese online Druckerei auf jeden Fall wieder benutzen.

Scheint sehr gute und aktuelle Quellen zu benutzen. Noch besser wäre es, wenn die Einzelnachweise (Quellen) leichter als URL herauszukopieren wären, oder mit d'rinnen beim kopierten Text blieben.

Bottom line: we received less than 1/2 of our 2,000 Euro deposit back, because of trumped-up claims that we had broken a cabin window; clearly not true: it was already broken when we took the boat. The break-point on the hinge is visible on a picture that I took with already rounded-off edges, clearly indicative of an old-fracture, and not something that we could have done. We received no details of the repair that was, allegedly necessary, no paperwork describing the cost breakdown. We are now in the midst of a legal case with the boat's owner. But that was just the final "desaster" of what was supposed to be a pleasant -- and expensive -- holiday. Here's the larger story: We chartered a supposedly high-quality yacht via PCO last July: The "Seewolf" from Flensburg, Northern Germany (Baltic coast). The boat had no functional compass at the helm (navigation compass), and was, as such, not in seaworthy condition. The middle-man between us and PCO said he'd ordered a new compass, but that it wouldn't arrive for 3 more days at the earliest. The hand-bearing compass had loads of air in it, and wasn't particularly reliable either. The boat stank because -- so it transpired there was a leak in the freshwater system; the bilge filled up and festered. Most of the plugs in the teak deck were missing, leaving screw-heads sticking out: we ruined trousers on the cockpit seats. The sail cover for mainsail was so badly damaged/degraded, it had to be lashed closed with a line. All in all, the boat -- a Hallberg Rassy from 2008 no less!!! -- was in a condition where one could only say that it had been commercially exploited, and barely maintained. What to do? We'd booked 2 week for our only holiday of that year. So we set off with a boat without the basic traditional navigational hardware in the cockpit. By the way, such missing navigational equipment is definitely a serious legal problem: we informed ourselves via the official German authorities. The rest of the boat didn't inspire feelings of "having been cared for and properly maintained". And that was the most expensive boat that we had hitherto chatered. We received no really useful support from PCO in trying to clear up the problem with the broken window: rather it was clear from the communications between PCO and the yacht owner (they used the familiar "Du" between each other) that they were very friendly with each other... We had to wonder whether the thing was a scam, and that the owner basically half-maintained (because one can't really use the word "maintained" seriously in the case of this boat) the boat by cashing in on the deposits of unfortunate customers (I found another such customer from a few years back on social media).

I recently posted an ad. Immediately I was contacted by a Kleinanzeiger user, saying that she wanted to buy the object, and would pay the postage: could I just let her know the total price. She sent me her address and asked for my PayPal ID to make the money transfer. I disguised my PayPal ID (email address, because PayPal doesn't allow a different type of ID) to make it machine-unreadable. That was the end of the "conversation" with the other user who -- I checked -- had been with Kleinanzeigen for a few years, and has a rating of "not great". Then, I opened the Emails on my computer, and had a rush of spam mails. These continued -- increasingly new ones -- for days and weeks. Despite trying to "desubscribe" from all of these spurious "services", I am still getting 10s of spam mails each day. I am convince that there was a connection to the event on Kleinanzeigen: it's quite obvious: my encoded email address was probably read by a real person -- quite possibly the very person acting as the very enthusiastic buyer of my advertised object. If my theory is true, that person is actually acting as an "email harvester", and earning money. And all this happens on Kleinanzeigen, which seems not to care much about it. I submitted my case, giving all details, and was then told by Kleinanzeigen that it wasn't going to pursue it further. 2 years ago I was defrauded out of more than 3,000 Euros via fake seller on Kleinanzeigen who seemed to have hacked into a genuine seller's account. All in all this platform has descended into junk that is full of fraud and advertising. Use it at your peril.

Mehrmals Fälle von Betrug gesehen, einmal Opfer von Betrug (2023: Kontohacking und Falschdarstellung einer natürlichen Person: ich habe 3.100 Euro an einen Betrüger verloren, bei der Polizei/Kleinanzeigen angezeigt, keine Chance, nichts zu machen...). Kleinanzeigen geht von schlimm in immer schlimmer über... immer mehr unerwünschte Werbung, immer mehr Nutzer, die Kleinanzeigen misbrauchen, um an deine Email Anschrift zu kommen: neustens (10.02.2026) hatte einer sich bei einer meiner Anzeigen gemeldet, meinte er würde die Ware kaufen, Postanschrift angegeben, und bat um meine PayPal I.D., was meine Email Anschrift ist. Ich habe diese einigermaßen "kodiert" angegeben z.B. mit [punkt] und [atZeichen]... sofort brach der Kontakt zum "Käufer" und ich bekam unfassbar viele Spam Emails. Die Sicherheit und Anti-Betrug Maßnahmen bei Kleinanzeigen sind einfach mangelhaft oder sogar inexistent. Ich vermute, die Besitzer von Kleinanzeigen wollen einfach nur so viel Geld wie nur möglich aus der Platform herausquetschen, und ihnen scheint alles Andere ziemlich egal zu sein... schade, schade, schade, wie so eine gute Idee verkommen kann, und zwar anscheinend durch Gier...

Gute und schnelle Betreuung, auch telefonisch. Guten Umfang der Leistungen.

Ware genau wie beschrieben. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist i.O. Webseite ehrlich was die Beschreibung der Waren angeht. Zahlung möglich über viele Wege. Lieferung schnell und sicher.

Very simple to get started. Very good price/service ratio. Good additional functions for freelancers who need to keep banking and accounting all in one place.

Easy to find part (I bought a used M47 transmission for a Volvo). Fair price. Efficient delivery. Very helpful customer service.

Product was easy to identify, arrived quickly, and was exactly as described. There also wasn't too much packaging material!!

The online information was very simple and clear; the identification process was quick and simple. I like the idea of a business account that is no-frills and good value for money, because I am a small-scale freelancer.

Ware wie beschrieben und schnell geliefert. Gute Qualität. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

In den vergangenen 12 Monaten sind zwei meiner Sendungen per DHL nicht ordnungsgemäß an den beabsichtigten Empfänger geliefert worden. Die Pakete sind nie wieder aufgetaucht, und die Empfänger haben mir auch schriftlich erklärt, dass sie das jeweilige Paket nicht erhalten haben. Für diese beiden Pakete hatte ich eine gesonderte Warenversicherung abgeschlossen, was natürlich auch ihren Preis hatte; jedoch ist bisher (02.05.2021) jeglicher Versuch meinerseits, eine Rückerstattung des Wertes meiner Sendungen über die Warenversicherung zu bekommen, wirkungslos. Ich habe den aufwendigen Prozess der DHL Nachforschungsantrages usw. brav mitgemacht, und alle relevanten Belege brav geliefert: Fehlanzeige, trotz wiederholter Erkundigungen meinerseits. Ein Antrag wurde dann ohne Erklärung eingestellt. Fazit: ich bin jetzt fast 300 Euro ärmer. Das ist ein stolzer Preis für so viel Ärger...
