Osman O scammer on DBA

Be careful when buying on DBA, it's full of scammers, like a seller Osman O. He listed "Nintendo Switch 2 All in one carry bag" and shipped an empty package instead. When I asked my money back he just changed the listing description by adding in the middle of the text that "it's just a box" while the title was saying "a bag" and told me to bugger off. Money were sent directly, so no returns... DBA suggested we find a common solution and the seller replied "you can't save it".

Hej

Det er ærgerligt at høre om din oplevelse. DBA fungerer som en markedsplads for private brugere, og i handler gennem Fiks Færdig træder vi først ind, hvis køber og sælger ikke selv kan finde en løsning.

Har du spørgsmål eller er i tvivl om noget, er du meget velkommen til at kontakte vores kundeservice på support@dba.dk.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts – especially as someone who has previously been part of the DBA team. We genuinely appreciate that you care enough about the platform to voice your concerns, even when the message is critical.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the current version of DBA feels so disappointing. It’s clear that you’ve observed a range of issues – from design and usability to handling and structural clarity – and we take that seriously. Feedback like yours is valuable, not just because of your personal connection to DBA, but because it reflects the broader impact that changes can have on both users and those who once helped shape the platform.

While we know there’s room for improvement, we’re committed to addressing the challenges and rebuilding the trust and usability that many remember fondly. Your comments will be shared internally as part of the ongoing dialogue around how we evolve – hopefully in a direction that honors what made DBA special in the first place.

Best Regards,
DBA Customer Support

Good

Good: I had all my ads rejected, and got that resolved by Isabella within couple of hours.
Bad: I would like to point out that your new design sucks. Your selection of brands is not very broad, and it's not possible to manually enter a brand in the field either. I recommend adjusting this feature, as it currently forces users to leave the field empty, which can create search issues for customers looking for keywords such as brand names.
Overall design and functionality much worse than before. Will shift to Marketplace and Vinted with less hustle, and more user-friendliness.

Hi Tatiana,

Thank you for your feedback – both the good and the not-so-good. We're really glad to hear that Isabella was able to help you resolve the ad issue quickly. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her.

Regarding the new design and brand selection, we completely understand your frustration. It's true that the current setup doesn’t allow manual entry of a brand, and we can see how that limitation can affect both visibility for sellers and search relevance for buyers. Your point is well taken, and we’ve shared this specific feedback with our product team for review. Improving both flexibility and usability is a priority for us, especially when it comes to the listing experience.

We're sorry to hear you're considering a move to other platforms – but we understand. We hope you'll give us another try in the future as we continue working on improvements based on valuable input like yours.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.

Best Regards,
DBA Customer Support

No trust

Everything has changed
After being the number one site for buying and selling,it has now become a site with a bad reputation.

Yes, you have gained the trust of the banks, but you have lost the subscribers who were the main reason for the banks to trust you.

After 10 years with you, I will not pay or spend 1 kr. on your site anymore.

I must say that DBA.DK has gone bad these days. Schibsted has completely ruined the wonderful place where you can sell stuff and send it to the the buyers.

One thing is that a simple user interface with nice categories is now a mess. That is their problem.

But...

Please do not use this site - it feels like a scam to lure you and all others to be monitored by them and public authorities.

They are using an externmal provider to get infomation from your bank account - Shame on you!!

Shame

Shame, shame. To ruin a functioning platform like this is a tragedy, no self-reflection even after several weeks of dissatisfied reviews... And no, not even a few positive reviews created by some of your weak-minded or paid relatives will save it. I really hope that some company has already focused on this hole in the market of selling used things and is developing a similar platform that your dissatisfied customers will soon be able to choose from.

Collecting social security number and banking information via middleman

All we need is your social security number and access to your bank account to be able to forward you the money... Just click the link and provide the information.

Although this most likely is meant to prevent fraud, all alarm-bells are ringing. It is completely absurd!

No one should ever just give all these information to any company.

It is nervewrecking enough that there are times, where you will have to do it - for instance when you sell/buy a house. Then all you have in the end, is to trust that the realestate agent is taking sufficient (very sufficient) care of these data.

I'd rather want to trust the buyer in a single transaction, than to trust my data will forever be secure - where ever and who ever will be able to access them (for eternity).

But to give it to a private company, through a (for me unknown) 3rd party company, just by clicking a link send to you without any further ado, is completely absurd. I sincerely hope other people react and wake up before giving out these information just like that.

Good luck with a cascade of future identity thefts and so on, "if" (read: when) the data is leaked.

I seriously shocked that they can get away with this process...

Dear Kim,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you find the new search function difficult to use — that is not the intent.

To help refine your search, you can start by selecting a relevant category and then use the search bar to look for specific items within that category. This can make it easier search and find what you're looking for.
