Shpock: Buy & Sell Marketplace 12+

We’ve been using shpock for over two years and prefer this platform to sell unwanted items, including technology, clothes and bric a brac. Its also great to be able to search locally for something you need and ask the seller questions before you visit to buy. The app is easy to use. Simply take a picture(s) of your item within the app, add a description, price it and click, its for sale. The majority of shpockers are honest and trustworthy. I like the opportunity to meet a buyer and receive cash - no fee to pay! I’m also happy to send items by post using paypal payment. Shpock instructs that when a deal is offered, accepted and confirmed it is legally binding. This is not true as some buyers will change their mind and fail to turn up for their items. Just re-list the sale and carry on. Be careful to only present your full address to buyers within the deal/offer dialogue of the app. All shpockers can see the open questions and answers section. Be firm with buyers about time frame for collection to minimise hassle. Shpock would improve if it provided an escrow service ie, hold a payment with an offer, requiring the buyer to have ‘skin in the game’. This would stop any time-wasting.

The Shpock app itself is really good and well thought out - it's intuitive, relevant and ergonomic in almost every area. The only downside to this app is nothing to do with the build of the app and everything to do with the end users who are using it. I would say it's roughly 50/50 on whether you are going to get a trustworthy and responsible, honest and reliable buyer/seller and the rest of the time it's going to be people who just literally waste everyone's time and don't seem to care about it. This is a shame because it's so easy to upload a new item for sale within literally seconds, but then to spend sometimes weeks or months selling it because you've had to relist the item several times due to people saying they are buying it then not turning up or cancelling the sale altogether - there is no real incentive to the buyer to carry on to the end of the transaction if they so happen to just change their minds, I understand that this is sometimes good for everyone but St the same to.e, I tink it would be better if "repeat" incidents by the sesame buyer/seller are then treated differently and some sort of eating or penalty fee are then levied on those users, that would surely help to weed out the non-serious users?... Anyway... Rant aside as I said this app is brilliant for what it is intended for and is really easy to use even for the beginner level users out there.

Every time I list something it’s a waste of time I get spammed by fake buyers that take my item off market place because they commit to buy but they are actually fake and then a real person comes along and the item is “sold” when you figure out you have sold your item to a fake person and contact the real person back they have already bought what they needed! Iv never been part of a marketplace that has so many fake buyers it’s such a waste of time and can consume valuable time that you won’t be able to get back! shpock you really need to sort this situation out it’s not good and it’s not making your app a good place to be! It’s extremely frustrating! I have bought things off of shpock and Iv listed quite a few things but none have EVER sold due to being spammed by fake buyers and in the end I just loose interest because you can’t really trust that it’s a real buyer.. as soon as it says the distance between you is far that is a red flag indicator that you item is going to get clogged up in space and become unbuyable .. I don’t understand why or what the point of this fake buying system is what the hell do they get out of it ????? They certainly don’t get any money from me or get my product im trying to sell.. Iv never used and all to sell with such negative success it’s terrible .. had it been a better spam
Free environment I would have supported but no way would I support this app in its current state 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
