I have been with garage sale prior to its beginning here, on FB Exchange. I like how you can upload up to 5 pictures, but often find that sellers do not post that many. Usually just one. Then we all ask for them to post more. Sometimes the quality of pics aren’t that great either, or the pictures lack descriptions which include measurements, age of item and condition. I try to include all these things in my descriptions so I dont have to answer a ton of questions. I also post pics I know are pleasing to make it an easy sell. I work hard to earn praises! But I agree with others, the CON would be that there are some not so nice sellers, who fail to communicate in a timely manner. We should be able to rate for bad transactions too! Like a thumbs up and thumbs down, and allow the person to provide a feedback. Other than that, please update the system so we dont get multiple notifications!!

All in all, a decent app. It would be nice to be able to “hide” items that are marked as sold and be able to fine tune search results. I also think that you should be able to give feedback more than once. It should be feedback on the items you have purchased per transaction rather that just a once time rating and that’s all. I’ve had this app for several years and over the last couple of years I’ve found that the ads are rather annoying. I would rather have to pay maybe $5 for an ad free app. It slows everything down and freezes sometimes and that’s irritating. The main fix I recommend is that items that are posted more than 6 months should be automatically deleted or marked inactive where buyers can’t see them. Maybe send the seller a notice to renew the listing or it will be deleted or made inactive within 7 days. There are so many inactive sellers with stuff that’s been on here for years. It’s maddening to have to weed through all the “dead” listings to find legit active sellers. Other than that it’s a decent app I suppose, so I give it 3 stars until the developers can actually update it with useful updates that could make this a lot more user friendly.

Years ago this site was amazing! A great place to find good deals, make a little money and meet wonderful new people along the way. In the last 2 years or so, this site has transformed into absolute garbage. Now it’s riddled with ads, seriously can’t scroll the feed for 5 seconds without getting an ad, literally half of the people that message are blatant scammers, administrators (oddly enough, ALL old women) do not actually do anything to protect buyers/sellers but rather ignore your concerns and have a “we don’t get paid to do this” kind of attitude…uuuh, why are you here then? To be nosey?!! The app itself is so infested with bugs I have to continuously delete and redownload the app just to get it to open. It glitches, freezes, makes corrupt listings you can’t change or even have access to, kicks you out right as you submit a listing so then you have to do it all over again, it’s just a mess now. Facebook Marketplace is superior. You will actually sell items through marketplace whereas with Varagesale, you’ll be lowballed, ignored, scammed and frequently have your time utterly wasted. I used to exclusively use Varagesale due to it’s safety, lack of ads and ease of use. As with most things decent, that’s a thing of the past. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this site.

I only use the app because it is what everyone over here uses to sell their stuff in the military. You cannot copy addresses or phone numbers out of the messages almost ever. You have to pick single pictures to post in Messages and cannot pick albums or multiple pictures at a time. The application crashes constantly. Half the time you don’t even get notifications properly if at all. It is the same on iPads and iPhones alike. The app used to notify you when your items would get removed or we’re about to get removed and no longer does. Active conversations continually don’t show up or in active conversations get sorted back into the active conversations at random. And for some reason every time they get new admin’s they seem to be power-hungry military spouses who have no authority in the military but seem to want to dictate to everybody whatever they choose. They continually make up new rules since I’ve been on this program based on their emotional experiences and their frustration with customers they are supposed to support. They seem to constantly post rules that existed no other yard sale type site. Overall the site needs complete overhaul and they need to hire or have admin‘s that are there to help people with issues not be mafia dictators.
