Although some users have found success in selling through the platform, the overall sentiment leans heavily towards disappointment, suggesting a pressing need for improved oversight and customer service to enhance user experience and trust.

I try for several time to sell things on letgo.
People are rude and wanting to get your items for northing.if you. Asked 150.00 they offer you 50.00. Other site I don't have this lssues calling you a $#*! when you don't take their offer.
I gave it one star because I was able to sell 1 item on there.
I have posted several items on Letgo and get plenty of responses but 99% of them are at 1:00,2:00, or 3:00 in the morning. Its always the same thing (is it still for sale)
I always put the same postings on Craigs List and always seem to sell my items through them!
I have sold a few things on letgo in the past. However, recently some of the users are just plan creepy. Asking someone to meet in a parking lot at midnight is not something I would ever do but you will get people asking you to meet them to buy it in very sketchy areas. Then when you don't, they never respond again, which is fine by me. Also, most people will just ask if the item is still available and never respond or try to low ball you. I wouldn't say letgo is a scam but its definitely something people need to be careful on. It's kind of like craigslist, only worse.
Tried selling workout equipment super cheap, then a month later giving it away, and there were five different interests and none of them came by to get the workout equipment. Waste of time. Goodwill takes the equipment. I will just give it to them. It takes up 100 sq ft of space in our tiny rental.
I THINK THERE ARE MORE STIFF SCAMMERS ON LETGO THAN ANY SITE ON EARTH... IF YOU PUT SOMTHING ON THERE FOR 2 PENNYS THE STIFFS WANT IT FOR 1 PENNY EVEN IF ITS WORTH A 1000 DOLLARS...
If I could give this site 0 stars I would. I wanted to delete my account and I have to write an email telling letgo why I want to leave, like you cant be serious. Im not a child let me delete my account. As far as the people using letgo Im pretty sure theyre all delusional I was selling a pair of ugg slippers great condition little wear and a few buyers wanted me to sell them the uggs for 30 dollars. Its honestly such a terrible app. I wanted to give this a try because I wasnt having any luck on Depop but it turned out to be a terrible experience.
This is the worst website I have ever used while looking to purchase an item!
If you enter a phrase any and every item will pop up as an option when most of them aren't relevant to what you are intending on purchasing.
Example: Dog House
ALL decorations, artwork, dog collars, furniture, dogs, T. V. s, gates, cages, coffee makers etc. (anything to do with a house or dog) will come up in your search when all you want to purchase is simply a dog house!
VERY FRUSTRATING! Will NEVER Use AGAIN..
My grandmother could write a better platformthis has to be one of the crappy just apps I've ever worked with it sucks on windows it sucks on Apple sucks on android trying to use facial recognition on an item not happening nobody knows how to leave a description nobody can goes how to change the title the rover price than half the people on there are scammers please shut the site down so we want to go back to craigslist at least that old fart Berks
Let Go is alright. I think the majority of the frustration stems from doing things on the buyers terms and believing peoples BS. There is a lot of BS in the world and people who seem to get off on it. So in order to "quick to dead the bull like a matador" the rules I follow to avoid frustration as a seller:
Rule 1: Always make the buyer come to you and on your terms. Using Craigslist I would say 8/10 buyers do indeed buy. If someone isn't serious enough to drive across town to meet you, then they aren't serious to buy and will low ball you because they think you're desperate. Remember, you go to the store, the store doesn't come to you. I stick to a 3 mile radius around my house and only meet across town if it's at my convenience. I almost always have people meet at the front of my street which is pretty busy and public.
Rule 2: Never believe the tomorrow or get on it the weekend people. They aren't serious if they aren't ready to meet today!
Rule 3: Don't hold items for people. The people that say they want it for sure, are most often the ones who never show up.
Rule 4: Don't entertain hagglers. Or sob stories. When the first text is what's the lowest you will take? My response is I am pretty firm on my price. When they have a sad story, don't humor it, they want it for free or pretty close to it. If I am the buyer, I haggle in person. Money talks, BS walks.
Rule 5: Respond back ASAP to all messages. Most buys are whim buys.
I get a lot of people who are who interested, but live 20-30 miles away and don't have transportation. They ask me to come to them. No way, my big chevy truck gets 7-9 mpg. I'll spend all of my profit on gas. Then, there's the type of people that say they'll meet you somewhere but never show or respond to me again. Waste of time!
No support system from Let Go... Also dealing with tire kickers that have no intention of buying anything.
SPENT HOURS POSTING STUFF JUST TO HAVE IT KICKED BACK OUT. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. DOES NOT PUT STUFF IN THE RIGHT AREA WHEN POSTING. HARD TO BEAT CRAIGSLIST EASY LISTINGS.
Such a waste of time--too many sites now-- no selling just posting--I do not have time to tell all--they want 100 charachters--here is 8 words IT SUCKS and not IN A Good WAY!
She has a major attitude. Feels that everything she has priced is exactly what you should pay. If you attempt to negotiate, she becomes irate and tells you the items are already priced at a fair priced. Tells you she will meet you halfway from Noblesville in the City of Pendleton. Either she already lives in Pendleton or her parents live there and she REALLY LIVES THERE. She then goes home and berates you in a review all the while lying and reports your account and even though she has only sold to 2 people. She lies and reports to the LETGO site and they automatically delete your account without verifying whether what she says is true or not. WE HAD 34 GREAT REVIEWS AND A 5 STAR RATING. ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS REPORT A BUNCH OF LIES AND OUR ACCOUNT WAS DELETED. BEFORE YOU GET DELETED, SHE HAS HER FRIEND MESSAGE AND SET APPOINTMENTS THEN THEY ARE NO SHOWS. CRAZY B&^$TCH
Letgo should Explain What it means and what to do when someone favors your listings. Other than that it is easy to use and I have been successful in posting and selling some items. As for security in the end you have to meet we a potential buyer.
The Letgo search bar does not work for me. Can not search for items. Went to OfferUp instead. Really have nothing else to add the the subject...
I have sold a lot of high end and average items on Facebook and thought letgo would be an additional avenue from all of the marketing. Letgo IS AWFUL AND A SCAM... people will waste your valuable time. Do not waste your time on this app!
Posted great items -- people will reply, negotiate and then promise to show up and you will never hear from them again or you will be blocked? What type of a waste of time in the world lol -- really frustrating and I thought CL was bad (CL is a walk in the park compared to the buyers on here) at least they show up!
I had something to sell and the buyers wanted me to meet them in a very high crime neighborhood. I asked them to meet me in a public place and they said they were new in town. BUT then they suggested another place... I sat there with my son, mom and sister. I think they had other intentions. We were supposed to meet at 6pm... and at 620 I texted them and no response... even though the read it. Not wasting my time again. AND yes folks dont need to favor my things... they are brand new things. Either you want to buy them or just leave the folks alone. This is not FACEBOOK.
Wonderful concept, unfortunately people are a-holes that like to waste time, cause drama and are cheap as heck. Will continue to use it until ebay becomes seller friendly again.
Answer: I worked as a reviewer for several sites and when they have very little reviews or no reviews people like me are paid to say how great they are. You can verify these in Amazon reviews some of them praise items like there is no tomorrow full pages of nice reviews. When you see the contradicting reviews go for the bad one is the honest one.
Snap, post, chat, and sell. letgo, the app that lets you buy and sell quickly and locally in the United States.
