Is selling on adverts.ie a joke?

That's a good one Graces7, genuine designer copies 😁

Hi,

I have 20 ads on Adverts I tried to put one on tonight but they were charging me €2 for basic when before it was free. Any idea why?

I have another account for different items and put same ad on for free.

Can anyone explain. Thanks

It might depend on the section you want to put it in as motoring there are fees so i stuck it somewhere else , think i have 200 up there and need a recount 🤣

Good to know. I requested such feature years ago so I could filter out all the spam from commercial sellers with a zillion ads.

I'd actually prefer to splash out and buy new these days than use adverts. Easier than trying to get a good deal off some lad from Ennis who reckons his Mexican strat is worth a grand because he put a shiny pickguard on it.

Had a browse of the pet adoption section recently. Cleaned up its act somewhat but they still can't get rid of people putting up dogs for sale ads. No money in doing that obviously. Pricks.

That always amazed me when I used it. Item would be up for 20 quid under retail but collection only and its slightly damaged. Country full of Del Boys.

I'm finished with adverts

Deleted my account

As bad as DD ATM

Precious sellers are as bad as precious buyers

Changed my mind last week over an item I offered a bid on

I only spotted he wouldn't do PayPal only wanted revolout or bank transfer.

I tried my son and mate ref revolut - neither had a bob on them and in work.

Came back apologies etc to seller

He stated me with my only negative feedback in 10 years I reckon.

I've enough of it life's too short

Amazon or eBay for me

Hard to blame the seller for your failure to check beforehand

It's the same for me, can't see withdrawn and sold. Don't think it's a glitch though, just Adverts being Adverts.

I once bought a Gucci bag for someone in a shop in Chinatown in SF, cost about $100 IIRC. This is about 20 years ago, it was a stunning copy, came with dustbag, box & documentation. Vendor told me it was a grey market version (manufactured from original specification parts excess to Gucci's order). Extremely tasteful, black leather, almost impossible to tell the brand.

Looked at the real version (about $1,500 In a store & couldn't tell the difference).

About five years ago, one of the little nuts on a strap was coming off and I brought it into BT to see could I get it repaired, fully expecting them to tell me to sling one, but they took it in for repair & serviced the bag completely, when we got it back, all the hardware had been replaces & the leather had been restored. All free of charge.

The majority of "genuine designer copies" are tat, but not all.

All my items i have sold are marked as sold and left feedback and it goes into my list of sold items.

I cannot see what they used to have up for sale as the colours have changed and you cannot click on it anymore.

Yeah I'm really sad that the ability so search sold and withdrawn ads is gone. Don't know why they would do it.. it makes the site a lot less useful to me, and I use it a lot.

I'm hoping it's some temporary thing as happened some years ago, and it comes back.

If you have a set price = Non Negotiable and they offer a price under i ignore them as usually it has been reduced to that price.

Yes no problem on answering for pm purpose for 1 euro

Yes Telegram Ha Ha as not going near that for sure

Am I correct in saying that a potential buyer can leave feedback when item sale has been cancelled?

potential buyer made an offer, I accepted the offer. Made arrangements for when they would collect then heard nothing. Sent him a couple of messages / reminders and no response. Meanwhile another potential buyer has made a reasonable offer. I cancel the first offer but now I see that messer buyer Number 1 can leave feedback..
