A good idea but quickly has been abused.

Yerdle knowing creates a forum for bullies and participates in harassment.

While there are a few good people and you start out having a lot of fun, if you actively continue to use the site for its intended purpose you quickly see fraudulent activity.

At a moments notice your items credits and money can be stolen from you by Yerdle. They claim you have no recourse. there always is recourse for companies that knowingly commit fraud. They have stolen hundreds in valuable items from me and continue to allow their members and staff to harass and stalk me online. They apparently have time to do this instead of attending to customers emails and fixing the glitchy app.

Why would members harass you? Because I posted hundreds of items people loved and won and received. I earned tens of thousands in credits some of which i used to bid on items i wanted. Shock!

I quickly got on their radar by giving alot and winning a little, in a short time that was a threat to the older members. Older members had been on the site a long time and gave less in a year than i gave in a week.

Older members lie in wait for new unsuspecting members. New members enjoy giving new or like new items they don't need or want. They aren't aware yet of credit values. Being a novice you can end up giving a high value item for next to nothing in credits. A new member who only wins one item often just never gets the item and doesn't check to see why. If they do ask Yerdle staff for help "happiness guaranteed" Amy Ribar or Dina B, customer service members don't respond or are extremely slow to refund. All this was while they had under 5000 members.

This ignorance and bad customer service is perfect for older members. They can steal items for few or no credits. Now if someone is aware they can set a fair yet low value for their "free" items (only up to 250 credits equal to about 10$ on average in other items) than old members no longer can come in and snipe items up for 1-5 credits. Credits they earned by giving away dirty old junk and pieces of string, moldy expired goods or nick nacks in turn for new members iPhones or high end electronics.

Suddenly some one was actually giving generously and getting items they wanted and bidding a fair amount. They hated that.

These older Yerdle members and some staff, will come to new members with long sob stories about why they should reduce the credits and give the item to them instead. They will harass and bully new members into shipping for little or no credit. Or they would flat out ask you to just ship it for no credit at all. They would guilt new members into feeling obligated to ship them. They don't value or appriciate your time packing and shipping the item. They feel entitled to your item and you are lucky if you get a thank you.

Old members would explain why they can't give better items to earn credits for the things they want. Either they'd ask for extra items for free if they won something else for a few credits or some would just ask without bidding credits at all. They have no intention of giving items to earn credits to get other items they want.

Later once they begged for those items to be shipped right away so someone won't have time to think better of it and change your mind, they will take those same items and repost them for higher credits as their own. Items I posted with original content were flat out plagiarized and reposted under these older members names to attempt to lure members to there own items and appear to be my id.

Once some of my best items were posted bullying and trolling went on for weeks. They can see everything you have given and what you won. They trolled my page daily. What you won wasn't always delivered but old members seeing this were angry and jealous that they didn't get those items. Little do they know most never shipped, others arrived broken damaged or unusable very few were decent working items and yerdle staff was non respondent.

While all this harassment was going on I continued to ship items that I wanted to give, in return for other items from legitimate members. Yerdles Facebook pro page was a place created for these members to police members, plan, scheme and figure out new ways to steal credits. These rich people have unlimited time on their hands and unknowingly work for free to harass, stalk and bully new members.

These "pros" flagged competing bids, they flagged down items, they contacted other members to tell them not to bid. They lied to other members saying the item wasn't really available or that it was on reserve to stop bidders from winning.

Yerdle was aware of the activity by their pro members and their own staff also participated. Yerdle was aware that items were being shipped and enjoyed by their new owners. They did not discourage the bullies activity. They did not take necessary steps to block it. They violated their own policies and allowed it to continue.

Yerdle creates a forum for these bullies to flag harass and steal items. They continue to actively steal from me by telling people who haven't shipped items, that should have been shipped already, to not ship them and keep the credit. Meanwhile Yerdle is keeping my shipping money over 400$. These were items i won weeks ago that, by their own policy, should have already shipped within seven days of my buying shipping. They knew these items never shipped but were unresponsive when requests were made to be refunded. Real tangible items often were not shipped. Broken, damaged unusable items, even empty packages were shipped.

My new and like new items continue to go to their members as they were already shipped out before they voided all the credits I earned on the site.

They attempt to hide behind a constantly edited legal contract while knowingly participating in fraud. They allowed or created fake listings for high credits for items that would never ship, in order to steal credits back, they knowingly blocked items i won, seemingly legitimate items from legitimate givers but left the fake items up for weeks. They created an environment of mistrust and anger as they reversed completed auctions. They are currently active in blocking items from being shipped out.

They knowingly allow new members to be robbed from, knowingly are commiting fraud by using their own unlimited self created credits to bid on members items and or flagging off competing members bids. They give items themselves under names like "jennifer h" which they never ship and than don't refund nor do they respond why for weeks.

Be aware these self proclaimed "monsters" are not interested in the greater good. They pretend its not amount money while altering rules on shipping. They now complain that light items, like a pen, should not be combine shipped in the same box with other light items. They state in brand new just created rules, that each item should have a paid shipping label even if it is never used and shipped in the same box. The now state you must pay shipping on each item n that said you can ship it in same small box. This negates their false claim that combined items won't arrive "9times out of 10" Buying multiple shipping labels makes no sense because those tracking labels wont track the item and often the shipping labels used don't track at all you are lucky if they become delivery confirmation labels. They still want shipping fees on each item won no matter how small. Clearly it's not about environmentally sound practices but about collecting those dollars. They are revealing that they are about the money, not at all about sharing and giving. It is about monetizing.

Their default shipping on the iphone app is set on a higher cost of shipping than most people need. Most items shipped are very small and light and fit in a padded envelope. So most people unknowing are paying and charging inflated shipping on their items.

Greed envy and jealousy have taken over this company. They invade your privacy by exploiting your name your social circle and pin point your exact location. They store your device info and have full access to your phone. The app stalls and slows the normal use of your device. Reviews on iTunes are blocked, you can not post one star reviews.

It is very likely that they are participating in other fraudulent activities like keeping members better items for themselves or selling them. They constantly alter the agreement to attempt to steal more money and items from new members under the guise of being a friendly, eco friendly, helpful community to trade items.
