Yup. Sales tax too on all the platforms no matter where the item and buyer are located. Now when grandma sells her beanie baby collection, the items are taxed, again, and grandma has to justify a cost basis on her taxes to offset the 1099 from ebay
Its insanity. I get it, there are people doing business on these market places that should be taxed but this is silly.
PreOwned Watch Websites Chrono 24 and WatchFinder Experienced Consumer Security Breaches
Chrono 24 and WatchFinder have both lost copious amounts of consumer information both due to security breeches. A lot of this information is quite extensive, featuring full names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, financial i...
Seriously?! That changes my willingness to list anything on C24.
And the security breach is a nail in the coffin as far as my comfort with the site. Too bad.

And remember, this could happen anywhere! We all need to be careful all the time!
Fortunately on this website you don't have your physical address nor phone number nor financial information tied to your account. So thank goodness for that - as it makes this website slightly less of a target.
Yes! That has become my "trouble" photo!
I'm having problems with the photo uploader sometimes too. Sometimes it's my computer though, not the website. This computer is in need of an upgrade!
ridiculous
I have sold 2 watches on chrono 24. They insist you give a routing number when you want to sell. Now I need to change account and email passwords. I have had a Wells Fargo business account hacked for thousands. 7 hours between phone an in person. Eventual...
Hi Patrick, could you tell us more about the loss of financial data? Because I don't see that in what I can find.
Here is the email from Chrono24 on their hack, watchfinder seems to say the same. Marketing data from a bulk email provider was taken, not account info. At least, that's from earlier this month and according to C24 and WF, but I don't have your insider ac...
It came from another news source which I can't seem to find.
And keep in mind, the above was for Chrono24 and/or Watchfinder. So it may be from Watchfinder. I haven't read the Watchfinder Email, but you say it's similar to the Chrono24 one. I guess the best way to proceed is to just be on alert in every department....
Yes, those are good considerations, however,
I'm not seeing anywhere that chrono24 and watchfinder were hacked at all (not doubting you, only going on what I can find) Rather, it seems an affiliate hired for email marketing was hacked. That's a different level of private information loss--email addr...
I wrote C24 let's see what they say
If they lie, it would be a legal peril for them, 🤞🏼
Oh! That'd be better if like a marketing arm was hacked...
Maybe their CRM service provider was hacked. Customer Relationship Manager system. Like Salesforce. But then we'd probably be reading in the news that the CRM system was hacked and it would be larger than Chrono24. So that doesn't entirely make sense neit...
It's possible they're just providing a laundry list of things to be wary of...
Maybe they give a laundry list of things to be careful about to cover their own behinds? Who knows.
Yes! I have a response this morning: No Financial information lost. If Patrick thinks it's appropriate, the original post may be edited.
Dear Chrono24 User, Thank you for your message. The only information exposed was users' email addresses and names. The attack and breach occurred with our email marketing manage MailChimp. Chrono24 was not directly affected and higher sensitive informatio...
