Very expensive to put up an ad compared to the price when it started and Facebook market place is free so its always the first place anybody puts an ad

I suspended my add for two month i got the impression from that i would still have two months to show the add from the time i reposted but now it will expire in 2 days. Not impressed.

Sorry about that, I can see why that’s frustrating.
Suspending an ad doesn’t pause the remaining time, it continues based on the original expiry. We’ll take that feedback on board as it’s not as clear as it should be.
If you’d like us to review your ad, you can reach us at hello@donedeal.ie or through the Help Centre.

Donedeal has a lot of ads from bogus business advertising as private sellers. It is quite common to check their 'other ads' and find they have twenty or more cars or caravans for sale. I believe it is illegal in Ireland to purport to be a private seller if you are a business. I have contacted donedeal about these scams but they don't seem to care.

Sorry to hear that, we understand why that would concern you.
Businesses aren’t allowed pose as private sellers on DoneDeal. We take this seriously and do act on reports, but we rely on users flagging these accounts so we can investigate properly.
If you’ve reported listings and didn’t hear back, that’s something we can improve. If you can, please share details with us at hello@donedeal.ie and we’ll take a closer look.
You’ll also find more peace of mind choosing cars from Trusted Dealers, where checks and transparency are built in.

Sorry to hear it feels that way.
We understand fees aren’t ideal, but they represent a small % of your item’s value and help you reach Ireland’s largest car-buying audience. With 3M+ monthly users and 1,000+ cars sold daily, listings on DoneDeal sell faster and for more, delivering real value for money.
We’re always working to improve the value for sellers.

seems only interested in getting more money out of the customer. i’ve had few things for sale over the years and always boost them, never any sale and only got one scammer interested, when i reported them no one even got back to me to say the profile was flagged. FB marketplace much better and free. Donedeal is useless.

Sorry to hear that, it’s a frustrating experience.
Most activity on DoneDeal is genuine, but we know scammers can happen. We do act on reports and remove suspicious accounts, though you might not always get a follow-up as we don't disclose all moderation actions we undertake.
If you still have the details, our team can check it at hello@donedeal.ie.

I can't see clearly how long an ad is up.
New update is shite. When I clear sold ads, my saved ads get removed.
Saved items should be able to be catagarised.

Sorry about that, that does sound frustrating.
Not being able to track ad time, saved ads being removed, and limited organisation isn’t the experience we want. We’ll pass this feedback on to the team as we continue improving the app.
If the issue with saved ads is still happening, please reach out to us at hello@donedeal.ie
so we can take a closer look.
