Is selling on adverts.ie a joke?

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It's the same for me, can't see withdrawn and sold.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Yeah I'm really sad that the ability so search sold and withdrawn ads is gone.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

Can anyone tell me how is it possible for an Adverts user to delete all of their sold and withdrawn adverts on the site. I don't mean mark as sold or withdrawn. Actually delete so their profile shows Active: 0, Sold: 0, Withdrawn: 0 when they have sold a ton of stuff? Their account is still active and they are still PM'ing people. The comments number still shows and you can still go through them.

There is a user who shall remain nameless who if they are doing what I think they are doing is pulling a massive fraud. If it is fraud its upwards of 100k over multiple items against multiple users. Before they have delivered the goods everyone has paid for ALL of this users ads have been deleted.

Report to who though. I've reported fraud and user accounts conspiring before to Adverts support repeatedly, even with the help of Spocker and nothing was done.

If it takes Admin to assist this person in deleting all of their records and they did so I think there are questions to be answered as to why. I have no faith in Adverts support to provide those answers.

Edit: Turns out after emailing Adverts Support and getting a swift reply (credit were its due) this sellers account has been suspended so all of their ad history is gone. However they have been allowed to continue to comment for the purpose of organising refunds and making deliveries. But are they doing that when they are now claiming in PM to me to be gone for Christmas and refusing to respond to questions if they are processing refunds or when they will be back.

None of the Adverts buyers I've contacted via PM effected by this seller were made aware the seller was suspended so theres a lot of stress for users left out of pocket and out of the loop this Christmas.

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..

I think I was still able to see sold(in user account) using app but not on pc. Second annoying thing were(are) sellers renewing adds everyday while you are searching for something(i set few alerts) and it pops out everyday - contacted adverts about it but quiet.

Never had an issue buying or selling on Adverts in the last ten years, including buying a car four years ago.
