    From **** ******* I ordered 11 jewelry supposed to be diamonds silver and ******** advertised All the photos looked larger but very tiny. Is it really government auctions ? please explain it better .The description of my winning items .Diamonds Set,1 CT Diamond Set Silver Topaz Diamonds SBTopaz HOOPS*5CTW*CZIRC 0.25CTW DIA Diamonds SBTopaz UNI B&W Diamonds Diamonds Cross .25CTW DIA Set Diamonds LOVE Auction date was 11-3-2024 to 11-6-202.. As you said the site has millions users, your website is very friendly, easy to use but the jewelry pictures are very deceiving , it looks large but very small , That is very wrong advertisement. Please take the actual size. When I receive the items I was very shocked. My next step is to take it to jewelry stores. The one close to me is :Charleston ********* ******* Importers Tester Shop in ************ VA next week To find out . If items are as you described. I will pay for a stone tester . I will send you all the reports. maybe will take it to two jewelry shop to get 2nd and 3re opinion , I will send you all the fact.. disclosure of real facts , true photos are the best thing for marketing I refused all the items expecting my money back please ..$1019.38

    Thank you for your review. The items are as described. Diamonds are diamonds and topaz is topaz. We provide full gemology and materials in the description. Please take the time to read the item descriptions carefully before bidding. If you take the item to a jeweler, print out the description and take it with you so there is no confusion. For returns and refunds, please follow the return procedure. We will refund 100% of your purchase amount. Simply refusing items slows down the return process and gets you banned from the site permanently. If you need any help with returns, please let us know, we are happy to help. We typically get back to you within the same day on support requests. Thank you.

You may return it for a full refund for any reason. Please follow the return link on your 'My Wins' page.

    False advertising. I bid on AAA citrine stones and received junk in return. The stone clarity is nothing like the auction photos. Very clear with a slight tint of yellow. Im pretty sure that these are fake! Going to have them checked out to confirm.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review. The stones are not fake. We test them with a stone-tester that displays the material, so we know they are genuine. If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, you may return it for a full refund, including original shipping. Returns are easy, just click on the return link on your 'My Wins' page. If you need help or assistance, please contact us through the support links, we will be happy to help you. Thanks again for your review.

    I ordered two rings and other jewelry both rings were supposed to be diamonds One ring is supposed to be $7,000 from the site something told me to take those rings to a very good jewelry place. When I did they told me there weren't diamonds and one ring wasn't even silver. I called my bank had them put a stop on all payments to that company. I got all my money back from the bank Do not do this website their jewelry is junk

    Thank you for your review. The items are as described. Please note we use a stone tester that displays the stone materials to verify the stones, so when your 'jeweler' eyeballed the diamonds and called them fake, they were mistaken, or worse, unprofessional. Stone testers measure the heat retention of the stone and that is not something you can see with your eyes. We have a 100% refund policy so instituting a chargeback to obtain a refund is completely unnecessary and results in a slower refund process since the bank takes up to 60 days to process them. We pride ourselves on our fast, friendly customer service. Also note, as noted in the item description, we do not provide values for the items. Reading the item description before bidding is the key to a positive purchasing experience. Our site has over 10 million users, the vast majority are happy with our service. We still find it frustrating when someone ends up with a negative experience, so we do our best with every customer to help them have a positive experience. Thanks again for your review.

    I have won several items on this site and have been very satisfied. I took a ring to a jeweler to verify authenticity and it was as described. Diamond earrings were larger than expected and they also give you all dimensions and specifications of the item. Returned 1 item a month ago and was given a 100% refund. Very satisfied

    Regarding the jewelry sold on this website....EVERYTHING is originally from Temu, Shein, Aliexpress etc. If you find a piece of jewelry or anything for that matter online the new Galaxy S24 allows you to draw around it & then it searches the entire internet for it. EVERY piece of jewelry on policeauctions.com had the above mentioned websites as the primary source. Meaning everything that's being auctioned off this website originally cost less than FIVE DOLLARS. They even put the "Retail" value in the upper right hand corner of the jewelry item being auctioned. Some of these values are thousands of dollars. However when I search online for the EXACT same item, I can buy it brand new for $3-$5. Total scam.

    Thank you for your feedback. None of the competitors you mentioned in your post are sources for us. You know nothing about our costs or sources. We don't supply values on the site, the strike-through price, as noted in the description, is a computer-generated asking price, not a value. Please do your comparison shopping before bidding. It's frustrating for us that people will post things like this, but there isn't much we can do about it, other than provide excellent customer service. If anyone has an issue using the site, please contact us on the site through support, we'll be happy to help you. Thank you.

    The jewelry is fake and not as described. Low quality costume jewelry. ****** started to fall out of settings after short time. Shipping fees are outrageous. Very dissatisfied customer. Will not participate in any more auctions. You know the saying, you get what you pay for. Well, it definitely holds true. Dont waste your money! Go buy yourself a nice piece of jewelry from a jeweler that you know is real! That way you are sure to know what you are getting. I learned my *******

    Thank you for your review. The jewelery is not 'fake,' the items are as described. Fake is not a material used in manufacturing. Sometimes people refer to gold-plated items as fake, but that is just an outdated-bias, since most jewelry is gold-plated these days. All items are as described. We provide full gemology and materials in our descriptions. We also stand by our products and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, you may return your items for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Shipping prices are listed in the item description, so you don't have to bid if you don't like the shipping price. We also offer responsive online customer service 365 days per year. We recognize that not everyone will love their items, but we do our best to support the customer with easy returns. Thank you again for your comments.
