To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

I had a small problem adding photos to my ad. I contacted Katie from the support department and thanks to her help everything became very easy. Katie advised me very politely what I could check and how to improve so that my ad would work fully. Everything else was very easy. Thank you for your help Katie. I recommend the service to all those who want to post an ad.

Brilliant site and customer service

Fantastic site to advertise whatever you need. My initial advert was rejected due to my own error, but Katie explained the process to me, explained what I needed to add, and had my advert up and running in no time at all. Thank you! X

Awful, awful website

Awful, awful website. Search results interspersed with holiday homes for sale, bombarded with adverts and hardly able to see listings due to constant pop up ads. Will stick to ebay or gumtree in future. Dreadful.

Katie really helped

I’ve been a member for a while now . It’s a great way of finding things and selling especially because I don’t use any other well known sites.
I was having problems to login and none of the FAQs fitted what I was after.
I emailed customer service and received an answer the next day helping me . I followed the instructions yippee all sorted.
I’d just like to say massive thanks to Katie for her help
