The whole experience was really good
The whole experience was really good. The process was clear and everything went smooth. Also costumer care is really good.
Paid for the bike, 7 weeks later it's still in the seller's house
I bought and paid for the bike almost 2 months ago, and not only have I still not received it, but the bike is still sitting at the seller's house. The pickup has been rescheduled 4 times, even if the seller was home and waiting for the pickup. Seems like Buycycle is simply not speaking to UPS to request this pickup. Support is slow, answers are AI / generic, and they don't take action. I've requested a refund, but still no news. Considering the other reviews, seems like it's a hit or miss. At this point, it feels like they use some of the orders to finance their business at 0% interest by collecting customers' money and delaying operations / offering refunds without compensation.
comunication is fluent
comunication is fluent, you have 48 hours to check the bike before you confirm / reject the transaction.
Great marketplace for bikes and spares
Very smooth and effortless transaction. Posting my item was easy, the price recommendation was fair, and providing the shipping label was convenient.
A great marketplace for connecting buyers with sellers.
Not possible to log in
Not possible to log in on their bike shipping page, the Google login doesn't work even though I already registered on their main page. Tried on mobile and different browsers on desktop.

Everything went smothly
The only thing I don't understand is why something like this didn't exist earlier.
Running shoes Adidas…
I have ordered running shoes Adidas Adizero Boston 12. Seller was willing to offer a 5% discount, which the administration had suggested as a lower starting point for negotiations. For some product descriptions, the original text is in languages other than English, but there is an option to use machine translation via a button on the website. Real condition was relating to images. Delivery took 6 days from Italy to Czechia.
Unzureichende Bearbeitung
Leider habe ich eine defekte Gangschaltung bekommen, diese konnte ich aber erst nach dem Einbau feststellen. Eine Entschädigung bekam ich für einen zerkratzen Schalthebel aber als ich danach meldete, dass die Schaltung nicht funktioniert bekam ich folgende Antwort:
Please be advised that by accepting compensation, whether through Buycycle or directly via chat with the seller, you have fully exercised your Buycycle Buyer Protection. Once compensation is accepted, the case cannot be reopened. As this case is closed, and no further action can be taken.
Kindly understand that I will not respond to any additional messages regarding this matter.
Das bedeutet, der zerkratzte Hebel wurde bezahlt aber der Größere Schaden nicht. Somit habe ich eine Schaltung für über 800€ gekauft, die nicht funktioniert.

Would highly recommend
Great service part from the wait due to no packaging being available to the seller. Eventually that got sorted and the bike arrived with a new delivery date. I would highly recommend buycycle. The online team followup on questions and provide regular updates. Payment system worked perfectly and the app is process to approve payment after the bike is received all works beautifully.
Absolutely bollox.
Absolutely bollox.
Three weeks from purchase none of the bikes have even been picked up at the seller!
Nobody knows when the bikes will be picked up or arriving here for that matter.
First part of the season down the drain thanks to this BS.

Everything works
Everything works , the only downside it’s the timing , it’s not so quick process and takes a bit of organization but it’s very well organized and it’s easy .
Great platform for selling sports gear
Really happy to see that Buycycle now supports more sports gear, not just bikes. I’ve already sold running shoes, cycling shoes, and a running vest here. The whole process was simple and smooth, thanks!!!
Great platform and excellent experience overall
I’ve had a very positive experience with Buycycle. Platform is intuitive, easy to use, and entire buying and selling process is straightforward and well organized. Great platform and excellent experience overall🚴♂️👍
Great service!
Failed to Honor "Buyer Protection" on an Unrideable Giant TCR Advanced 1
I only purchased through buycycle because of their advertised "Buyer Protection" program, and it has completely failed. I paid a premium to protect my purchase of a bike listed as "Very Good / Ready to Ride," but the bike arrived completely unrideable.
A professional inspection by Bicycle Habitat's master mechanic officially condemned the vehicle as a critical safety hazard.
Despite explicit photo, video, and local bike shop documentation proving that the bike is dangerous to operate, buycycle support refused the return and offered a $140 payout. This is a complex repair requiring over a thousand dollars in parts and professional labor to correct, creating an entirely unacceptable consumer experience.
Because buycycle refuses to honor its own terms and contractually guaranteed protection, I have been forced to involve both my attorney and a formal American Express payment dispute to resolve this transaction.
Buyer beware.
