I really like it

Great app - works best on mobile

Loving this app - totally user-friendly. Only sad thing is it doesnt work that great on a laptop and often I want to see the pics larger than on my phone. (On laptop, it shoots me back to the beginning every time I back out of an item. On mobile, it lets me continue where I left off.) But otherwise its great.

Beware of the flakers

So far I had two people flake on me. Like come on dont waste my time. Its sad that my items are closed off once I accept a offer and then once the day comes to meet, some people flaked on me. Welp! This is my only dislike with this app, but its expected.

Happy

Used a few times and its been a great app.

Convenient!

Doesnt even take a minute to list an item and easy to sell!

Easy to use

Posted my first item within 60 seconds of downloading the app, item was sold in a few hours.

If it only had a brain...

Enticed to try this app via eBay adverts. The concept seems good and similar to LETGO (though reading other reviews I may not be correct in saying so..). Issues from the moment it opens, crashes constantly despite updating app and phone settings. After several failed attempts to keep it open long enough to at least check it out, deleted it (again). Someone needs to pay someone, to fix this app.

Easy & fun

Posted 10 items today. Easy to use. Had a response in 30 minutes. Person requested a 2nd photo. I was unsuccessful editing the original listing, so I added a new one. Buyers are close which is great.

Love it!!!

This is like the modern version of a yard sale. I havent sold any of my items yet, but its only been a couple days. However, I did buy a Canon Selphy CP900 printer for $30. Its in perfect condition, prints awesome pics from my phone. Met the seller in a public place 2 miles from my home. Easy breezy!!! Love this app

took a long time to get an offer.

Needs a relist option

There is no way to relist an item so it shows up fresh on peoples feed. You have to re-load the photos and description which is a pain. The chat also doesnt refresh very well. Has great potential but missing some key features.

Acceptable but Improvement Needed

I am a new user so not completely familiar withe site. At my first post, a better tutorial could be offered. On the first sale, both seller and buyer were unable to exchange contact info. Not good. That needs to be fixed. We did find a work-around.

Needs to be fixed

For the past couple days I thought maybe its my phone that wouldnt upload items & no its the app.. As well it keeps crashing smh

Toni

Very easy to use but people make offers and dont come through and buy it or dont respond when you accept!

Love selling/buying on here!

EDIT** PLEASE also make a separate tab for "SOLD" items..so that everything is not mixed up. It makes it difficult to scroll through the items when they are all mixed up. But PLEASE make an option to block bad buyers...Ive dealt with too many people who flake last minute and still try to make offers. I would rather not deal with them at all.

Very Pleased !

I listed 2 items yesterday and they are both gone !!! I am so pleased and surprised !!

No notifications for messages

It sends notifications for all sorts of trivial things, but not when someone makes an offer or sends you a message about something you have for sale. Whats the point?

My favorite selling app

I was able to make the most sales with this app. I prefer it to other apps (offer up , letgo, 5 miles). The chatting is easier. The uploading is easier. The only thing I wish I could do is edit the photos after posting. I had to cancel and repost a couple times after realizing there was a wrong photos or I took better photos.

Others are better

Using pictures on this app is a nightmare

This site rocks!!

I have bought and sold items on this site. Much less work than a garage sale, easy porch pick up. Great people nearby, and great deals on quality items. So far I have purchased beautiful Pottery Barn dishes, a beautiful glider rocker, a chaise lounge, and biking shin guards for my son. Love it!!! Check it out!!!
