Adverts.ie Avis 

A nightmare of a site, constantly having to sign in, staff not helpful and terrible slow to reply, really terrible support, the worst ever site, constantly has problems. Allows people on it that should not be allowed. They are only interested in people/scammers that wants to give them money to do nothing. Avoid this site

The site is, in my opinion, a cesspit or Mos Eisley of the Irish online market place! I got scammed and can’t get through to their support.
I take it they don’t want to deal with it and the user who scammed me is still online!

SAVE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT USE THIS SELLING SITE, I HAD MY CAR ON THE SITE COST €21 TO POST IT AND FROM THE START ONLY GOT AGRO FROM BUYERS WHO WANTED THE CAR FOR HALF THE ASKING PRICE THEN LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK THAT THIS LOT WOT'T REMOVE, I REPORTED THESE 2 GUYS TO ADVERTS.IE MODERATORS BUT THEY DONE ABSOLUTLY NOTHING, THIS KEPT HAPPENING UNTIL I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO WITHDRAW MY ADD. THEY WILL HAPPILY TAKE YOUR MONEY BUT DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR IT, (BOGMANK)

I live in Galway and regularly use adverts.ie to buy and sell used items. My experience of using this site is positive. If you take good photos, give honest descriptions and reasonably price your items they will sell but it may take time. However, living in the Dublin area, because of its population density, will be an advantage. All in all, I have found and continue to find adverts.ie a very good marketplace.

I have been scammed by PickPackShip.ie, and Adverts.ie or Garda did nothing to protect my consumer rights.

I am a victim of a FRAUD from PickPackShip.ie. The item that I bought was not complete, and after months, I didn't receive the missing part or the money back.
They are asking me to repack the item and send it to London to an Amazon 3rd party, and the shipping cost is on me!!!

1- Why I should send the item to Vivo Technologies, an Amazon seller, if I bought it to PickPackShip.ie on Adverts.ie???

2- Why do I need to pay a delivery fee to London if the seller address published in Adverts.ie is Dublin 1 ???

I want to return the item in Dublin and have my money back!

I've found some great deals on adverts.ie but at the same time have almost fallen victim to scams on multiple occassions.

If you stick with well reviewed users and use common sense with pricing you will normally have a good time (assuming someones account wasn't hacked!).

Unfortunately they are doing very little to combat scams and account takeovers, the later of which would be easily fought by making users use 2FA which is a common practice these days.

Given these guys own DoneDeal also (to my knowledge) they are not hurting for money and could afford to combat some of the fraud with better moderation and security policies.

I was scammed on this platform.do not buy off this platform as when you need help they don't return it.buyers beware.buy at your own peril

Wonderful Marketplace

Adverts.ie is a wonderful marketplace to buy and sell used stuffs. Never had any issues with the platform. The support team is easy to work with as well.

one day could`t login in to my account. Contacted Adverts.ie by email numerous times still no reply or explanation to this day. i DO NOT recommend this website !

Scammers, I was forced by the admin to delete the "Adverts" account because I can't use it, it's blocked, very bad customer service, I don't recommend, after 14 years I'm closing the account, shame adverts

I got scammed by a buyer, it was my own stupidity to post without tracking based on user reviews.

I left negative feedback with was removed. I complained to Adverts and recieved no response.

It's ok if you have trained yourself to spot the rip-off merchants. Don't buy anything you see labelled as a gift or won in a prize. Pay for items only with valid receipts and meet in person. It is now common in the desktop computer section across the country to see old technology stuffed inside a shiny new case with lights on it. Most of these pc's come from computer repair shops that collect scraps from customers and make pc's out of them. Have a go yourselves and ask for receipts for parts and see where it gets you. You will be lucky if you get a few months out of your purchase.

Worst support team!!! Scam

As other reviews that I see too late have said, scammers thrive on this site. Sent payment to someone, my child's pocket money for something they saved ages for I might add, and she denied receiving the payment despite my bank saying it went through. The user is then allowed to block me so I can't leave feedback about the experience? I found the seller on Facebook so will be going to the gardai but don't buy on this site, there is no buyer protection whatsoever

Adverts allows scammers to thrive. I have been using Adverts for 10 years but lately they allow scammers to create accounts and they do not help you at all to avoid them or when something goes wrong to compensate you. We will move away from it.

Excellent website and it's free. How can you possibly complain about this. Try selling stuff in an auction and see how much money they take off you. Ignore all the idiotic reviews that are negative because someone met a seller or buyer that wasn't nice. How the hell is this the websites fault. They do a great service that is free for basic listings. No one else does this apart from done deal.

The site has a problem in the Tech sections with Eastern European repair shops hogging all the ad space with bits of old scrap. They need to start charging to place ads. One guy in Cork has been running the same ads for years. Over 369 ads and several other now banned accounts later he is still there. Also is running other accounts with scrap bits of technology. Despite being reported repeatedly he is till there laughing at the site as they get destroyed. Yes it's audiorepairs in Cork.

Be aware there are lots of scammers, after sale they block you and not even feedback you are allowed, contact customer services is useless, which means they are supporting scammer steal from people.

Buyer/seller since 2014 on adverts.ie
Only had 1 issue with a scammer customer service resolved the problem swiftly thank you

Be careful with Adverts.ie,
Adverts.ie blocks accounts without reason and does not respond to emails or reminders. Therefore, I would like to share my experience with you now to make you aware of their poor service and to warn others.
