Pinterest is a treasure trove of inspiring ideas for every interest, offering a visual discovery platform that fuels creativity and exploration. Whether I'm planning a home renovation, searching for recipe inspiration, or gathering travel tips, Pinterest offers a wealth of curated content and user-generated pins to spark ideas. I appreciate the intuitive search functionality and the ability to save and organize pins into themed boards. Pinterest has become my go-to source for discovering new interests and fueling my passions
Ordered lobster tails on pinterest Christmas 23. Never heard a damn thing. Money was taken 2 days after ordering from my bank account. Still to this day 3/7/24 haven't heard a goddamn thing and yes I am pissed. Pinterest seems to be a place where criminals can play their games. Pinterest needs to do alot better at policing their website. In my book pinterest sucks real bad!

I bought a pair of shoes from a merchant showing Clark shoes. When the shoes came three weeks later, they were definitely NOT Clarks. They were some weird sewn together red shoes that did not have a size,no brand name and were way too big. No way to send them back. Pinterest claims to not allow misrepresentation of product but that's a lie. The same shoes are all over the boards, even though I reported them as misleading.
Pinterest literally feels they have the right to tell people how to run their websites. Launched our company on 9/7/23, Knock Off LLC, a cough suppressant. We have everything on sale for the first month of Grand Opening. Pinterest tried to force up to remove the sale status from OUR website. Wanted us to change "Refund Policy" to "Return Policy" on our website. Claimed broken social links, we have none. Bottom line, Pinterest is not a governing body and therefore has no right to tell American's how to run their business, online or otherwise. Not to mention, they're incorrect. Check our site for yourself. There are always other options and Pinterest doesn't have the only game in town. They literally have a holier than thou attitude and I for one will no longer succumb and bend to the will of Social Networks. They DO NOT run this country, we do!

Run far away from Pinterest

Until recently i have had no accusations of a breach of community standards. Suddenly there is a torrent of breaches? Why? One was regarding a pin of ethnic music. I cant know exactly what pin because the links for you to review the said pin take you to the file it was in, but doesn't identify the exact pin ever, which has been the same for previous accusations of breach. Since everything was just foreign music in that file, what exactly went against their standards? Is it because the music wasn't english or American? Racist? Its impossible to talk to anyone no matter how hard you try, and if you ever get an email reply, it quotes a link for their community standards which is completely irrelevant to my links, because I only save the occasional recommendation pinterest send me! If they had a problem, it was a problem before they recommended it to me, so th iney should never have offered it!

This website is Good And Horrible...They have members coming on there loading up pictures that others think is fine to pin on they page shared...But once you share it they come after you and take down all the pins and threaten to take your profile because of this B.s.They should go after the person who uploading these pictures on this website! Not the person who is sharing the pin...This website is to sensitive and need to grow the Hell up! And find a better solution and banned the members who bringing this b.s on this site...
I am 48 year old and for over 10 years I had been using this App. I noticed too many videos instead photos. Too much ads. Not what I used to love from this site. My account was closed and I sent an Appeal for Age Verification and this is what I got, (Based on your appeal materials, we are not able to confirm that you're old enough to be on Pinterest according to our Terms of Service so we have decided not to reactivate your account). I hope there is another app similar to what Pinterest used to offer.
So pinterest is $#*!. I try to be myself and be confident as a 15 year old girl and post pics of me, sometimes in my swim suits and they always deactivate my account which makes me feel ugly and worthless. Like is it not okay you know. So pinterest stop deactivating my account!

They will shut you down with no explanation.
Used Pinterest for affiliate links to my channel and they suspended my account without justification. It's all ai and there is no one to discuss or reason with. This is the worst platform I have here experienced.
I have (or rather had) so many boards I use for work, which I can't access now. My account was deactivated for unknown reason. I never post anything on Pinterest, so can't see how I violated their rules. Wrote soOooo many times to them, probably over 100 messages... guess what...no response, non at all. Why they even bother adding pop up message "Contact us if you have questions or would like to reactivate your account" if they do not plan to respond. Really hope someone will contact me and this review could be change to more satisfactory.

There is no need for pinterest to have a Copy of my driver's license or passport. They blocked my account and will not open it back up unless they have 1or The other. Dear pinterest I don't want your app that bad!
Pinterest is misleading. They charged me for 1 ad for a year on a product I only gave them trial authorization to use. Then insist on keeping my money I never reinitiated these charges but each time I reposted the photos with the same title they charged, 50, 25, 35, etc. Do not trust them since I started they sent 3 emails that look just like their constant junk mail. They charged me over $150 for a shirt advertisment that they knew was not connected with an active Etsy account

Do not use pinterest for advertisment

The new birthdate requirement is nothing but shameful data mining. Pinterest has no business requiring someone's personal information as a condition for use. In 20 years, we're going to look back at these unethical practices and wonder why we ever let companies get away with this bull$#*!.
A great idea with atrocious execution. Never seen anything that should be so simple and straight-forward FUBAR'ED ($#*!ed Up Beyond All Recogintion) so badly. Want to create a board and put some pictures on it? Too bad for you! THAT'S going to require a tutorial. The morons that made this website obviously don't know the meaning of 'intuitive': the Number 1 requirement for any website, ever. Since 1999. If people need instructions on how to use your site, you $#*!ed up.
Tip for consumers:
Dont bother, unless you're just messing around. This website is NOT for any serious work or project.

I've had a Pinterest account for almost 10 years. I hadn't used it for a few years until recently, although I had accumulated a lot of pins.
So I receive an email from them saying they've removed a pin due to inappropriate, self harming content (in other words, some little troll dobbed me in). I would never pin anything harmful so I can only assume (because they didn't tell me which pin it was) that it was an album cover or something like that. They informed me that I need to go through all my pins (there are a lot!) and make sure there's no more inappropriate content or they'll 'take action'.
So I think, I'm over this, I'll just delete my account. So I do that and receive an email saying 'we'll delete your account after 14 days however, if you wish to keep you account log in before that time is up', except there's a red tab saying 'delete account' under that sentence which of course logs you back in. I then receive a flurry of emails from them saying they're reactivated my account! I finally realise it's some kind of ploy to encourage you not to delete your account and stop clicking on it.
The whole premise of Pinterest is ridiculous seeing as you can have your pins taken down for any number of petty reasons and of course, there's the whole copyright issue.
I purchased a silicone mold for a doll, It arrived eventually. A large slab of green floppy jelly like texture that looked like it had been hacked with a blunt knife. One ear missing. Purchase not fit for purpose. Have been given the runaround and have had to open a case with PayPal. Photos of useless mold sent. Now have had to send rubbish back and seems I have to pay for return. Will wait and see if my postage gets reimbursed or not. These awful people think you will give up, dont! Keep going. Horrible people out there waiting to take your money. The seller should pay for postage when the purchase is not as described or in my case total rubbish.
Will never happen again for sure, a lesson learned and much time wasted on some money grabbing greedy chancer.
For the past few months Pinterest has been constantly falsely removing my pins and even after submitting numerous complaints and appeals they continue to do so without reason. The pins in question are for artistic references. Pinterest falsely claims inappropriate content however this is hypocritical as I have seen many adult ads on the site/app.
For context: one pin was of 2 people hugging. Inappropriate? I think not.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use Pinterest if your pins are going to be even the slightest bit provocative.

Pinterest customer support is a joke. Except that it is not funny when you are a bona fide business that hopes to use the platform to advertise. Their customer service reps jerked us around for a month clueless about why Pinterest is marking our ads as SPAM. They ultimately said there was nothing they could do about it and told us to read the "troubleshooting" page on Pinterest. What a bunch of clowns. This is not a serious company for serious business.
Suddenly I can't use the site without my birthdate. It won't let me continue. Nope, I'm out. Have a right to share IF I want! You don't get to demand it as a condition of use. Some genius in your marketing department thought privacy was a 20th century idea no one cares about. Finished!'
The site itself is amazing, and very easy to use. It's very simple, looks nice, and works the way it should. But the pinterest support is horrible, most of the time they mistake innocent pins for inappropriate content and don't delete the real harmful, or inappropriate content. If your account ever got banned you'll probably never really get it back, because pinterest support simply does not care if your account was falsely banned.
They just shot dowm my account without telling me why, so I can't change whats wrong to get my account reopen and the worst, I dont have acces to my account, so I can't even correct whats wrong. I think I was just to popular for them, Anyway, they are excluded of my business, the one who lose in this adventure...is pinterest!
I purchased 3 items from Pinterest. 2 never arrived and the other was quite different than advertised. I contacted all 3 sellers and never heard back from them. 2 of the 3 items even had the same tracking number but ordered from different sites at different time. That sight is a complete scam and I advise everyone to stay miles away from it.

I use to love Pinterest! Now it seems too overpopulated with the same posts over and over. The most frustrating thing now I'd just trying to get to a recipe once you find one! Many times the "jump to recipe" isn't there or it is still so over ran with ads and pop ups and I can't stand it any longer!
Worthless to me now!
