letgoReviews 839

I just signed up to use letgo today. I posted 1 item to get started. I had to edit it because it only lets you post a picture and it automatically lists it. With just a picture! No title, description, nothing! So I edit it. Then it doesn't show up in search. So I create a new listing with same info. Same thing, just a picture. GRRRR! Edit again. The listing has now changed the order of the pictures! I did NOT do this! One more time I attempt to edit the $#*!ing thing. I leave it alone for a bit then come back and search for it. No listing! I think OK maybe I'm a dumbass. I try one more time and edit my profile to include only my first name in listings after reading about quite a few scams on this site. Again I leave it alone for awhile (over an hour). I come back and check and it does show the listing, again with the pictures in the wrong order and my FULL name showing in the listing. I give up! I try to close my account and finding that info is another pain in $#*!. I sent an email requesting to close it. We shall see what happens?

If you look at all of the complaints, there are no buyers and that has been my experience too. I've had 6 inquiries and ZERO follow up from any buyer after I respond to them. There may be some legit buyers using the app, but for every real buyer there are probably 500 sellers.

It appears letgo's main problem is that it is too new and not enough buyers have adopted it. This makes sense - it is not like craigslist and ebay were major market players right away.

Maybe buyers will use the app/site more after a few years. So as of right now, its a buyers market and a sellers black hole.

I thought this app would be a safer, easier version of Craigslist. Unfortunately, it is not. I sold a few small items, but I was mostly barraged by users who were either scammers or had no intention of following through with a sale. Many users were downright rude if their lowball offer (for really high quality, nice things) was declined. I had one user create multiple accounts after I declined their offer and blocked them, only to harass me and leave false negative reviews on my profile. It bordered on stalker tendencies, and since the app gives an approximate location of where you live or where you're currently located (whether you want it to or not), this scared me. An unhinged person could likely find you if they really wanted to. Due to this scary experience, I wanted my account deleted immediately, and there is no way to do this. You have to email the team, receive an automated response, and then wait and hope they will actually follow through. There is no way to delete your profile picture, so if you're a real person that has used an actual picture to convey your authenticity and then have an experience like this and want it gone, you can't just get rid of it. You have to upload a generic picture at that point. I felt very vulnerable and unsafe being on this app after my experience and am still waiting for my account to be deleted. I would not recommend it.

I'm trying to sell my car but it will only let me post 1 out of 4 pictures. Every time I try to add the other 3 pictures to my post it only saves my post with 1 picture. This needs to be fixed, how is anyone supposed to sell stuff on let go if you have multiple pictures and yet can only post 1 picture of your item. When selling a car people want more than 1 picture but yet you guys are only letting me post 1 picture what is going on. This needs fixed as soon as possible or I'm deleting the app for good. Thanks.

I spent hours setting up my profile with high quality images of the items I want to sell and my biggest issue is that people will message asking if it's still available - obviously if the ad is up it's still available- and the "favourites" button is very frustrating. I don't intend to keep these items for sale for long and yet people favourite it thinking it will be there a while and that there will be a price drop. As a seller, this app may not be worth it- people are not serious enough or willing to pay anything that isn't "free"... I will keep the app for another month or so but so far I am not impressed and feel like its a waste of time... it could have been a good sales system if people took it seriously and didn't message for no reason / not show up for a sale... seller beware...

I have used this site for quite a while and have sold several items. The App it's self need revising to remove the "Im Interested Auto click as well as the button for " is it still available" ( it it is listed it IS AVAILABLE)
And its negotiable should be replaced with an Iten that says MAKE REASONABLE OFFER. If the item is listed for 800 dollars it should feature an auto reject option that can be programed in like ebay has. The Bump Feature is a pointless unverifiable option that is akin to a blind man playing the lottery hoping the stranger he asked to scratch his ticket was honest.
The photos that are uploaded are often mixed up and not in the same order as when uploaded resulting in a terrible 1st presentation of product.
