I have join Letgo over a couple of years ago. My sales has well superseded the FREE and simple cost to post. My upgrades to bump listings is well worth value. I can't say enough good.

Maybe this site can be used to sell. However buying somthing is kinda a joke. Message sellers who's stuff wasn't posted 4 years ago yet still on there and no responses. I've bought and sold from marketplace to reddit and in between. This is the worst. 32 messages to buyers and not 1 single response. These were not the prefab messages but personalized messages expressing intrest. That said this site needs to clean up the junk posts. Law of probability. This site is just terrible!

I counted, I got 26 "Is it still available?" posts in one day and once I responded with "Yes, do you have a question I can answer about the item?" --- crickets! Frustrating and time wasting. Have never had success selling anything on that site. Worst!

Opened an account this more and posted an item for sale. One response interested and then no response. The second wanted to try the old "I will send you a cashiers check and you ship me the item" scam.

Of course I rejected his offer. And no way exists to report a scam attempt.

I am deleting my account there. Yet almost a month after deleting my account my listing still shows on the site, yet I can't log in now to remove it nor respond to inquiries about the listing.

I ended up spending over $200 for a pair of counterfeit Nike Jordan II shoes! The ad said they were new and completely legit but I could tell they were fakes soon after receiving. I'll only use trusted sites from now on.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid and look for sellers of authentic goods.

I think people just sit around all day and ask you is this still available and then never respond people hours away ask you about your stuff with no intentions on buying it you report it and that site administrators do nothing I think they are behind it also what in the hell is wrong with people? Save yourself a lot of grief do not sign up for it

This site is worse than Craigslist. Full of scamners, people who ghost sellers after asking if item is still available, lowballing & then want free deliveries when you posted no deliveries. Letgo does not tutor users on how to use or read the entire listing before responding. Or removes your listing because they say it was a "duplicate", but if they had read the listing the ring size was different and stones were different and a different shape, though close in color. Even had brand new hair bands removed as a violation. When I complained they said I don't have an account. No account? Then how am I getting Letgo notices in my private email account. No oversight when lowballers or bullying, harassing buyers start cursing abusive language at you.

Ever since the latest update I can't read my messages. I get notified, I see there's something in the chats but that's it! It just buffers and spins forever saying 'connecting'. The whole point is communicating with buyers to make a sell. If I can't see their messages and communicate with them, then there's no reason to have the app on my phone. What a waste of time creating the posts and uploading pictures. Bye, you sorry a$$ app!

The app was great when it came out but now its got server overload issues and so many OOPS messages refusing to load every time i open it. Sometimes takes 3 to 6 tries before i finally give up. They need to fix that or im removing the app. As you can see in my snap shot im on wifi and have data and no other app does this on my phone but this one.

This site is pretty much all scammers and merchants

This site is pretty much all merchants or scammers. The scammers do as they please. No matter if you report them or not. Now you cant even report without signing in. Just another hurdle for these idiot aiding and abettors. Go other places not here. They must be run by the Nigerian prince who is supposed to be sending me money.

I am just reading the reviews trying to find out if it's worth sticking with this site, and I see that, much like other sites that offer reviews, most people won't bother doing a review if they love something, but if they had a one-time bad experience that could happen no matter where or what you're using, they will jump at the chance to gripe up a storm about it to anyone who will listen. I am going to say, with what I've done and seen so far on the site, that it doesn't seem all that different from similar-type sites (i. E. Craigs List): if you like shopping that way, stick with them and buyer beware; if you hate it, then go to WalMart, the mall, or whatever :)

This is by far the absolute worse site ever in the history of selling items. I purchased an x box 1 months ago that did not work and to this day I'm still chasing the person for the money. I reported it to Let Go the reply was everything short of a shoulder shrug and contact the police. SMH for all this trouble Its never worth it. I advise anyone considering using this app. Throw your money in the street or give your items away before being bothered.

Good gravy where to even begin.

As with the near 1000 other reviews, you can guess this is no different in being that this site is near a complete waste of time and will aggravate you every time you use it.

So many bugs and glitches, site is slow as molasses, and it is slap full of low IQ idiots that have no money to spend in the first place.

You could be selling a brand new top of the line computer system with accessories that is $1000 anywhere you look, for half that, and all you will get is morons offering you $100 - $200 at most. Sadly that's kind of overestimating it as more than likely you will get people begging for even lower than that.

Then there is the fake robot profiles set up to favorite your listing and send pre-generated responses to you.

This site is quite possibly the sickest joke ever released on the public.

Flake a$$ clowns with NO money

This site is super easy to use. Unfortunately everyone has a smartphone now. This site is so cluttered with yard sale garbage... one man's trash is just that TRASH. People, Please... throw your worn tennis shoes, used make up and dirty t-shirts away! There should be limits.

These guys have no clue to client satisfaction and to how to run a website. I suspect they will be getting sued soon. They should be shut down for negligence. Just recently three of their clients were mugged when tiring to make purchases. People post their items and they don't respond even after they review the offer. Clients are allow to block users for no reason at all. I strongly suggest to everyone to stay away from this horrible site. They have no concern for your safety. Please keep reporting them I see hundreds of complaints STAY AWAY...

This site is awful. Tried to sell like 5 items on there and didn't sell 1. Very lil traffic flow and when I did get responses it was from scammers. No customer service and 800# outside of these cartoonic "bots" that are not even live people. Doesn't allow you to change your price once listed. Came back a year later (only cuz I was desperate to get rid of this item). They wanted to verify my # (fine) in order to list but then wouldnt even let me change to my new # to get the confirmation code. I couldnt list, had enough and just shut down the site.

I have sold several small, low-priced items thru this app (about $30 per sale on average.) I'm reviewing as a seller, as I have never been a buyer on this site. Overall, it's fairly straightforward, and if you're serious and do make your messages and intentions to the interested parties clear and fast, you'll probably sell at least some of your stuff some of the time. I did. One major complaint: you can't stop the crazies and the flakes. I had a woman named Gertrude Salli make an agreement to purchase an item only to flake out 20 mins prior to our meeting time. Then, after messaging me about her sudden flake-out, she blocked me from contacting her, totally without reason or provocation! I hadn't even complained to her when she canceled our meeting! She blocked me simply to prevent me from giving her a well-deserved low rating. I reported her total misuse of the blocking feature, as well as her flakiness. You'll come across a lot of these types of folks on letgo, I'm sorry to say. You may have some luck on this app, but whatever you do, avoid the seller Gertrude Salli for certain.

I had my merchandise stolen by a user. After numerous attempts to report him, I've heard nothing back from letgo. DO NOT USE, it's not safe, and they don't care.

I had tons of inquiries and was very excited about the initial response, but almost everyone wanted to know if I would negotiate. I put a lot of consideration into pricing, and listed most furniture pieces at $29- including a kitchen set with 4 'arching chairs in very good condition. I also posted a solid oak rocking chair, maple end tables, a brass floor lamp I paid $159 for. I thought $29 was fair. Most offers were for $15. I guess the ads leave people to believe we are desperate to sell. Rather disappointing

Gosh. The oerfect 'hood'' app. Scammers and wannabes without any money.
So bad.
10 questions''still available'' then they all disappear. Bots?
Once I sold an item. No problem, 20x nothing. Now not even wothh renewing the listings.
Complete waste of time unless you love meeting with idiots that don't even show up with cash, then suggest paying with paypal tomorrow. Lol.
Worst ghetto dwellers. Haitian wannabe scammers in Miami Area. IQ about 30.
Ice should use this app to deport that scUm.
Stay away!

They are overbearing and meddling in that they insist on all transactions happening in THEIR chat room. Not acceptable. Highly suspicious.

When you go to close your account, they wrongly assume that everyone is using their (faulty) app on a smart phone. They are wrong. Some people still use a pc, but they have made no contingency for them.

Oh well, in 30 days my ad will expire and that will be the end of that. I'm reading the reviews and finding that it's a good thing I found out early before putting a bunch of time in the letgo FARCE.

I have about 30 or so items listed on Letgo. They get tons of recurring interest but due to lack of convenient payment interface make few actual sales.

Letgo is very user friendly, ads are clear and attention getting. The one flaw in the design is its too easy to tell someone youre interested in an item, just by scrolling through the feed. Ive gotten messages from people who accidentally did this and Ive done it myself. There needs to be an extra verification in the process or something. Overall, the app is well thought out!

I have only been on the site for 2 days but sold 2 things. Both buyers came through. I am sure we will have some bad buyers but right now I am happy. Granted I am not selling high dollar stuff and I could easily just drop it off at Goodwill A few bucks is a few bucks. I sold a blender for 25 and a scooter used for 6. Better than the garbage. Update: I have listed several things since the first sale and nothing. I also have had people hit the "I'm interested" button and don't hear back from them.
