App is trash
July 11, 2022

Over a month now error message everytime i try to login. Constant popup saying to use facebook to login when my account is a cometely different email than my fb email. After 15+ emails telling them to fix this so i can log into my account ive never got 1 single reply. Dont waste your time with this app. Never sold 1 single item through this app even though i have 168 items posted.

I have enjoyed using varagesale for several years even the static ads are tolerable.but the recent addition of video ads is too much!
Really very annoying.
When they appear I shut down varage and will likely spend much less time on the site.

Admins are not helpful… all they do is picking on people left & right & deactivate your page, & make you go through hell, back & forth messaging them…. They just don't want to be helpful, they are just so good in punishing you over stupidest issues….
I have non of the problems in other buy & sell applications….posting the same way in other pages … there is no problem…. But VarageSale has the most horrible way of managing by their means admins….
I am not at all surprised to see how many people are unhappy with VarageSale, just because of their admins behaviour.
I wish higher rank ( higher than admins) could review people's opinions about this application….& make some changes in the administration of the page.

My honest opinion
August 3, 2023

"You mean we didn't approve a member that didn't adhere to the agreed to requirements upon joining. Snarky responses don't help the situation" was the response I got when I tried to explain my situation. We are a company that wanted to use Varagesale, and what ended up happening was "Hi There. Unfortunately VarageSale is more for individuals and not businesses. This is a virtual garage sale platform and people will sell extra household items. People want to be interacting and doing transactions with actual people, not faceless businesses. I'm sorry."
I am very disappointing with the service and the rudeness of the so called admins, if they cannot even put their real first and last name and a real photo, how do you expect the customers to?
But the thing I'm most angry with is after I got the response saying I was "snarky" I was blocked by the admin.

Items are mostly like really new stuff. Frendly, really cool people.
Always keep a few coins or fvers on you in case you spot something else you want. Nice mods are quick to answer questions and help.

Admin Leanne Mathews admins MANY different communities. She messaged me to remove my listings and post them all under one. When I went through the Rules and Terms of service and it was NOT listed there she removed me from ALL communities she manages. Then I joined the community to where I am moving and she demanded to know when I was moving, When I told her that was private information she did not need she denied me from that community as well. I emailed VarageSale to let them know about her behavior and I am clearly not the only one. She has bad reviews on her page and the app store as well as here. It is time to remove this power-hungry admin. She bullies people into giving her unnecessary information or it's her way or the highway.

Randoms act as site admins, and different community admins try to force you to expose your real identity (first and last name rather than a username) to sell used items to strangers. Varage app is very dangerous for women online. Countless men harass and sexually harass women on these online property sales sites. Why on earth would any woman want to identify her first and last name for these guys to stalk and harass? Varage Sale is not female friendly and is very much out of touch with reality.

VarageSale Admin Issue
November 11, 2021

There is a particular admin that seems to have a great dislike for me. She finds an issue with everything that I post. She constantly tells me to change categories or she will remove my post. She gets very rude. I have spoken to quite a few of the buyers and sellers and they say she does the same to them! We feel she targets certain people and when questioned, threatens to remove you. Well, she did remove me. It's ridiculous. The only people to complain to are her friends, the other admins for VS. I just spoke with someone else being treated unfairly and when she complained about this specific admon, the other one got rude with her. They always say that they do this for US, and for free. They signed up for it!

This site claims it wants to bring communities together however I was just denied access to their community due to my location being to far away. Away from what you silly women? Ever heard of a car? Yeah it gets you from place to place. After reading all these reviews those silly women did me a huge favor by denying me access to their neighborhood cult. I immediately found another community site Bookoo... Takes seconds to join & list and you're dealing with members of your community. Varagesale is an absolute joke to say the least. I agree they're a bunch of power hungry people who act as if they're in elementary school. Browsing their site looks like Sanford & Son

An administrator in the Fort Wayne buy and sell group on Varagesale I need to have a picture up before I can get accepted into the group. And before I even read her message to me I had put a picture up. Ironically. But I had not at first because I didn't know if it was worth it and I had better things to do.

YET THE ADMINISTRATOR AND I FORGET THE C***'S NAME, HAVE HER OWN PICTURE UP. SHE HAD SOME PICTURE OF SOMEONE WALKING FAR IN THE DISTANCE.

AND WHEN I EMAIL THE COMPANY TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE HYPOCRISY THEY MADE NO DAMN SENSE AND SAID IT WAS OKAY FOR THEIR ADMINISTRATORS THAT HAVE DOUBLE STANDARDS.

I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE HERE WHO IS MAKING ANY KIND OF COMPLAINT TO KEEP YOU A S*** LIST OF THE COMPANIES WHO S*** ON YOU AND EVERY CHANCE YOU GET TELL BAD STORIES ABOUT THEM AND FORUMS WHERE THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO WILL READ IT.

BE A WALKING NEGATIVE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE REST YOUR LIFE FOR THESE S***** COMPANIES.

Aweful rude administrators
September 10, 2017

These people are not nice at all. They jump to conclusions about situations. They only listen to one side of a story. And now the buyers-everybody wants something for nothing. I have found that listing on eBay is a better alternative if you want to get a fair price for your items

Never ever again!
February 15, 2018

Did I mention ever?!

This site was a headache back in the day when I first signed up. Haven't used it since then. Years! And out of the blue a "Nicole McKenzie"
Messages me saying I need to put a profile pic. I ignored her message so she waits 5 days then messages me again. This time she says my account has been suspended due to me not putting a photo up. How ridiculous! Thanks but NO THANKS Nicole! I do not care to even use the site/app ever again in my LIFE! These "women" have no life but to be harassing members/ex-members about this or that. Stick it where the sun don't shine and leave me alone! The app doesn't even deserve single star. Horrible!

Too many unreasonable rules to follow and they kick people out suddenly without any notification or any reasons given... I would recommend you not to use. Some sellers never replied messages. The app has problems frequently. Not user friendly at all. Search results are not what you're searching. Admins are not checking messages. You need to wait for membership approval. You cannot change your name even your name is legally changed but you can't change on varagesale. Very stupid..

Snobby, elitist woman from Flagstaff completely turned me off from using this service. I was insulted by her tone; she said that living 45 minutes from Flag did not qualify me as a member of their "community". I'll pass on this.

This woman wont allow me access to purchase a guitar. I'm stuck in a hotel and would like one to pass time. She says I live too far away? Wtf I'm buying not selling. A real cow Erika Lee. This is why kijiji gets all my money. First and last time I'll use this useless app

Not very usefull.
September 18, 2019

This is only good if your neighbor is selling something. You will not be allowed access to any items which are not in your immediate area of residence. You cannot even temporarily use another location. I find this to be completely useless to me. Good luck to anyone else. I've been on it over a year, and have not had any success. My letgo and kijiji accounts are always hustling. Hope this review helps others.
