Hipcomic Reviews 20

I have been a seller on HipComics and a buyer. I have had bad experiences with other sellers, and I have had great ones! The sellers are NOT HipComics. HipComics is an hosting platform for sellers.
Yes, Hip has its own selling platforms, Marks Comics and Fullfilled By Hip, but the majority is your buying from another collector.
Are all people that sell comics trustworthy? No. You have to figure that out for yourself. Find the stores you like to deal with that give you the best prices, you can even send offers to sellers to try to lower prices.
All in all, its a great platform. Does it still need to work out some kinks, yeah, but that's part of growing.
Bottom Line: Great deals, especially in the auctions!

I ordered a book back in August of 2025. Messaged the seller pandpcomics in December. Had a reply saying they would ship the following week. It’s now Feb 15 2026 and still nothing. I’ve messaged pandpcomics several times and no reply. I reported them to hip comics and no reply from them either. If you don’t wanna give out free money, stay away from this site. My next action is legal action, which should be easy since my best friend is a lawyer. All in all. Stay away from these guys including pandpcomics. I even called their store and they don’t answer the phone. Damn theifs.

**Absolute Disaster - Avoid Cash Into Comics Consignment**

⭐ (1 star)

I consigned 139 comics with Cash Into Comics/HipComic and it was a nightmare from start to finish. Here are the major issues:

Bait and Switch Pricing:
- Initial offer: $1,700
- After their "manual review": $600-700
- Final amount received: $135.40
- Their 900+ comic "review" was don via HipComic app took 19 minutes total - about 1 second per book

Zero Transparency:
- Books listed at auctions for literal pennies in a group lot of 1000 books
- No notification of comic auctions
- Received multiple conflicting final sales reports with different numbers
- Suspected bid shilling on lots
- Sales continued AFTER they claimed all sales complete and had to be called out to pay me

Shady Business Practices:
- Attempted to resell my comics in their own stores at higher prices than auction results
- Actively blocks Google and Facebook reviews
- Their store listings auto-generate 5-star reviews after 45 days
- Claims to have 100 locations but only has ONE actual store in North Carolina

I've Filed Complaints With:
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
- Better Business Bureau (BBB)
- North Carolina Attorney General

Bottom line: This company operates with zero integrity. Protect your collection and find a legitimate consignment service.

Updatet oHipComics Final Response:

1. BBB doesn't "rule in favor" - they simply confirm businesses responded. Your BBB rating is an F. That tells the real story.

2. You never provided a specific list. Your email said "comics $5+ (around 169)" - no itemization. I sent 139 comics valued at $5+ according to YOUR HipComic app values. I included a detailed invoice totaling HipValue of ~$1700. You accepted and processed everything I sent. Offer never stated it was for the entire collection.

3. In your AAA correspondence, you stated, "We are willing to proceed with AAA arbitration," when ADR couldn't accept the filing because they required that I have a lawyer. You were notified in October 2025 that I moved to AAA and did not dispute, then refused to sign the paperwork to continue.

4. "Comics sold for ~$310, paid in full." Let's talk about your "transparency":
- I had to catch an incorrect 5% fee you tried to charge
- Comics continued selling AFTER you claimed all sales were complete, breaking our contract
- I had to repeatedly request sales invoices
- Each report had different numbers - multiple conflicting sales reports
-I received $135.40 - Then I found MY comics being resold in YOUR online storefront at the original HipValue prices - which you pulled down within 48 hours of my bringing it to your attention

5. "Each comic individually listed": They were part of a bulk auction lot of 1,000 comics listed at the same time, not an auction for my specific consignment with proper market exposure.

6. You state: "the only item she's ever referenced is HipComic listing 18135926 - an unsold fixed price listing. Fixed price listings have no bidding."
Evidence:

Listing 18135894: Header text shows "4 days, 14h | 1 bid" and Offers History shows Mark (314532) with $1.20 offer, status "PENDING"

Listing 18135926: Offers History shows Mark (314532) with $1.25 offer, status "PENDING"

The same "Mark" account appears in both the seller role (Mark's Comics) and in the offers/bid history of items. You can clarify what "Offers History" represents on your platform and why the same account appears in both roles.

7. "Settlement demand of $600": After you refused arbitration and months of conflicting reports, hidden fees, continued sales after "completion," and finding my comics in your storefront, I offered to settle for the LOW END of YOUR OWN $600-700 estimate. That's dispute resolution, not extortion.

8. The Pattern Others Should Know:
- Your BBB rating: F
- Similar complaints across Reddit, Pissed Consumer, and other platforms, while Google and Facebook reviews are unavailable or blocked.
- $1,700 offer → I accepted → 19-minute "manual review" → $600-700 → $135.40 received
- Had to catch your errors repeatedly
- Sales continued after claiming complete, breaking the contract
- Multiple conflicting sales reports
- My comics were re-listed in your storefront, then quickly removed when caught
- Comics missing from sales reports, found in Mark's storefront at retail prices. (The same person in charge of my auctions)

I encourage potential consignors to review the BBB Rating (F) and lack of available Google and Facebook reviews, but also the many complaints on Reddit, Trustpilot, PissedConsumer.com, and other CBG platforms and groups, where there are reviews and low ratings for HipComic by other people to protect their collections.

You can get great deals on comics on this site if you don't mind waiting a month or more for your comics to be shipped. I have been using Hip for over a year now with mixed results. Some of the sellers on this platform are great. They ship their books in a timely fashion and are responsive to questions. Other sellers are absolutely horrible. ESPECIALLY Sunshine Comics AND FULFILLED BY HIPCOMICS (the site's own company). I have won auctions from both these sellers and have waited MONTHS for my books to ship. When I ask about the delays ii have either gotten absolutely no response or a canned "we are sorry but our fulifilment department is prioritizing your shipment blah blah blah" or some other such excuse about their shipping department. You would think with the really high shipping fees they charge (Often $40-$50+) you would get your books in a matter of days not months. As a result I will be buying comics on other sites like ebay.

I bided and won 2 comics.
Iwent to pay after 3 days and had to setup a PayPal account.
I had to wait 24hrs for PayPal to submit small amounts into my account and after 3 days, i returned to hipcomics website to find my account has been suspended... for what??? trying to pay!!!
Absolutely poor service website.

I literally opened a store with HIPCOMICS 3 days ago. I WAS CHARGED AN ANNUAL FEE ($47.40) I only listed 1 comic book for sale. I didn’t bid on any books nor was I delinquent on any payments. They suspended my account without warning and I haven’t received any responses from my 6 emails. This the worst site or app STAY AWAY!!!

One of their sellers shorted me some of the comics I'd paid for, admitted they shorted me, then refused to respond to my requests for a refund on the missing books. Hipcomic allowed this and refused to take action, instead referring me to PayPal to jump through hoops, only to be denied, basically because I refused to create a PayPal account. I won't be doing business with them again. They robbed me. They owe me money.

Bought and paid for an item and then i get a notice of cancellation of my order. No explanation. Buyer beware

I bid on multiple I tems, found out two days later my employment was doing major layoffs which inlcuded me (275 people). I contacted customer service to cancel my bids 4 full days before the auction end and their respoonse was to wait until the auctions end then they will ask the seller to cancel the sale....... This is incompetence at it finest, not only did I have to pay for the autions I won they refused to answer why the bids were not cancelled a full 4 days before when their policy says 24 hours needs to be left on the aution.

Seller beware. This site will take your payment information and refuse to cancel your membership leading to months of payments and no service. Plus the site will erase all your uploaded comics and you won’t sell a thing. This leads to paying for a subscription you’re not receiving. Worst app and customer service ever!

I opened a store and picked the $5.95 a month deal just to see how it goes and woke up to hip comics taking over $38 from my bank account and then refused to to answer me back when I closed the store immediately and asked for a refund. Horrible service and hard to get in contact with.

Bought my very first slab through Hip Comic, third party selling on Hip Comic.

Upon receiving noticed, pet hair on the slab and a crack at the bottom of the slab.

Wrote to hip comic,
They said they cannot do anything and that I should deal with the seller. Seller refused to refund my return mailing charge.

Right there I knew the Hip comic wants to only make a % but do no real work in the process.

Buyer be warned.
New buyers, be careful.

Hip comic asked to open a dispute through PayPal. So in essence I wasted few hours of my life dealing with seller, totally tried to scam me.
All for $11 mailing charge.

Not happy with Hip Comic. I rather buy directly from other sources.

I thought the shipping was way to pricey. I won 15 books and the shipping was $21.00. If this is how hip Comics makes money they need to let the buyers know. Shipping was almost as much as the books. So no thanks I won't be bidding with this company.

ONE OF THE SLOWEST SELLING SITES OUT THERE! LEFTED A FEW YEARS BACK, DUE TO SLOW OR NO SALES. CAME BACK ONCE AGAIN TO TRY ONCE MORE, NEVER AGAIN! WILL STICK WITH MERCARI & AMAZON. GOOD LUCK ON HIPCOMIC IF YOU PLAN TO SELL.

I Loved This Website, bought 3 rare comics, I like this addition to my collection despite the bad review but i find it very usefull for collectors like me

Excellent offers, the prices are highly competitive and the service is fine and dandy. This site had a few birthing issues but it is now rocking and rolling.

This is been a horrible experience for myself purchased comics threw to different sellers on the site one seemed legit but the other had a fake tracking number which brought u to a wierd pdf file in Chinese, I messaged the seller , about it the next day I had no purchase history .luckily I went threw pay pal so I am getting refunded but very sketchy site do not recommend it to anyone . I messaged hip comics and they tried telling me I must have used a different account because they cannot delete purchase history which they did , and I can say this with confidence because I still had all the comics I was watching still there so if I was on a different account my watchlist would not be the same . If ur a serious collector stay away not worth the headache

HipComics is not only a difficult site experience, too cheap to pay decent developers, but their "customer service" (clearly a catachresis in their case) arbitrarily and capriciously suspend good honest paid accounts without ANY due course or ANY input having failed to hire employees with the right traits for customer service work and who are completely oblivious of the acronym WETCO.
Instead feature 'power tripping' individuals who allow personal feelings dictate unfounded 'professional' actions that reflect poorly on the business.

Note to anyone who pays this site - Don't let your credit card on file lapse or somehow not authorize the monthly payment just one time. Result: Suspended Forever and Good Bye! HipComics~

The interface is so bad. I can’t figure out how to leave feedback or figure out what is something I bought, bid on or just looked at. Worse Online shop ever! Maybe it’s better on a computer but all I have is my smartphone.

Many times i notice this is a 2nd hand place for the seller which is great for the buyers actually . But the lack of help or possibility to communicate with anyone for days (week even !!) keeps you away from the site , me included
