I thought I was the only one thinking that adverts is a joke. Timewasters 24/7

Korvanica · 06-03-2017 09:21AM

I hate that the messages in the app are upside down. Different to every other application. Even different than the actual website. Such a silly UX decision.

That maybe your opinion but it's a very sweeping generalisation. I've had very few timewasters, but perhaps my years of experience trading on eBay and similar sites have taught me something.

I am using a new strategy on Adverts, if I get a comment or offer from a user I works out their percentage feedback based on positives and negatives and if it's below 90% I tells that user to stop commenting on my add as their feedback is a shambles.
It gets a few wound up but who wants to be dealing with a user with 11 negative backs and 16 positives.

Scummy feckers on adverts no selling ps4s for €230 sealed they have just bought them in Argos for €250 with a game and pad for free, it goes both ways on the site you have idiots trying to low ball or just screw you over then there are the fleabay type fleabags ripping people off and posting ****e like I know the nes is in smyths for €70 so don't post it on my ad where I am selling it for €100.

Still some bargains to be found on there but the hassle can be too much sometimes.

Donedeal is as bad. Anytime I list an ad I get a text from a girl saying she is interested. No option to reply to text and email address is provided. I have no doubt she lives on an oil rig somewhere in the north seas but is willing to offer above asking for an item she has never seen.

Selling my Mountain bike on there at the moment and had a lady offer me some bags of firewood plus cash for it.
First thought was she was taking the piss but turns out she was deadly serious and had a lot of wood left over after a 'soft winter.
No harm in asking I guess. Surely there's someone out there somewhere with a mountain bike to flog that's just itching for firewood.

Guy is selling one phone because he has two.

Gets an offer to swap the phone he is selling for an Iphone5 (but he has to give the person money as well as the phone he is trying to sell to get the Iphone5).

So he can then still end up with 2 phones, but with less cash than he currently has. Standard adverts operating procedure.

Did she leave negative feedback for each of them?

Robsweezie · 11-03-2017 08:40AM

Overwhelmingly poor feedback and lowball offer? Pleasure doing business with you!

retalivity · 12-03-2017 09:56PM

An exchange i had today

Them: €10 OFFERED
I need a pan for my baby to make a cheese and others who recomand to me i need 1 small pan i stay close tesco dolphins barn

Me: So you want the bbq grill pan??

Them: I dont know i can prepare the chease for my baby and other stuff ?if yes sure i want

Me: dont think its suitable for cheese..its got holes in it and is for a bbq/grill

Them: I need somethink small to make a cheese for babyes and other souce that all i want do you have

Never knew 'baby cheese' was a thing, however im pretty sure you cant cook it with this.

_Kaiser_ · 13-03-2017 08:01AM

Guy makes lowball offer on my ad (has a habit of doing this from a look through his offers/feedback). I reject it.. 2 days later, makes the same offer.

I think I'll just stick it up on eBay to be honest.

Robsweezie · 13-03-2017 08:37AM

theres a mini trend lately of certain users placing an offer on my ad, withdrawing, coming back with lower/ lowball offer, then withdrawing again.

blade1 · 14-03-2017 09:24PM

See something like this every so often..

WANTED: U2 TICKET
Will pay €100.

First responder comes up with...
OFFERED €100.

Cue another few offering €100 for a ticket that doesn't exist!!! :pac::pac:

Jack the Stripper · 14-03-2017 10:17PM

Have ad up with no offers. Even state it in description, two users asking what best price is. You can't educate stupid I'm afraid. Do these no hopers have nothing else to do all day.

Yeah, it was me the ad was there for 2 months, good luck with the sale. Will try again in 2 years. I just don't get people that sell something for 40 then you offer 35 and they be like ''mate you can't read the ad?'' f off the ad was there for months and you are lucky I am even making an offer on it and then you dare insult me by saying I offered too low? Yeah no wonder your item is for sale for 4 months with no buyers, time wasted yourself(not Jack the striper, other sellers)
