VarageSale

I've had good luck mostly using this site over the last 6 years in SK. Recently they hired a new admin, Lynn Gray, who is on a crazy power trip. She jumps to conclusions and is very one sided with sellers only. Erika Lee is not much better, but she is a lot more lazy about doing the work altogether. Can we please get some better, local admins... less nobodies that are too high up o n their horses? It's too bad...

Also the "praise" system is a joke. If someone no shows, leaves not enough money, etc and you "praise" them... they can just delete the praise so no one would ever know they were a $#*!ty buyer/seller. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Terrible website: Fraudulent credit card charges when you sign up. Scammers piggyback onto Varagesale when you sign up with them. I was charged $ 2.99 From CHFPFV.COM In Sylmar, Ca. USA and Also From GEHKED.COM. I also Received an Email from Varagesale Administer Dana Easton stating that I had not downloaded a profile picture which is not true. I did download a picture. It's not my responsibility that their faulty or outdateed software did not pick up/ detect or download my picture. I'm not even going to both with selling on Varagesale as I noticed many negative reviews about them from the inept administrators to low to no sales.

When you ask questions and point out policies not being followed, Admin doesn't care (Meredith, Amy). The community I was a member of had three Admin leaders and one seemed fake. No matter whether you went by the book, Admin had their favorites and played like good cop(Meredith), bad cop(Amy). One would take it as far as she wanted then the other would step in and be condescending and harrassing. Even though I had good member status and good praises, it didn't matter. I hadn't reached top seller status. Once they play their game long enough, they revoke your membership and give their reason. And it's not totally the whole story. Once they revoked mine, I could email questions to the third Admin who seemed totally fake. Needless to say, I never heard back. It's a circus. Admin is the ring leader and you are the poor animal getting mistreated. Run and don't look back!

I tried signing up for this and I quit midway through, the fact that it is asking too much personal info for something that is not even important just irritates me. I started questioning it when it asked for a picture of my face that is going to be reviewed by an admin, but I drew the line when it asked for my phone#. It just sounds too fussy. Like why do I need to provide all of that if I am just going to sell some used stuff? It's not like I want to become friends with people that I sell stuff to. No thanks! I am just going back to kijiji where I have been for many many years.

On verage sale you have your own site and you can make your own shop rules.
The old rules had shop owners have a 'hold time of 12 hr.' Before able to go to next person, now it's up to the seller to do as she seems fitting. For me it's whoever commits to buying,(pretty simple right?)
I had this one woman ask a question and I answered, 30 min later another woman hits sold. Well the woman that asked the question demanded she should have a time frame to decide etc etc, I explained to her my shop rules she would not here it and basically got her buddy admin to chew me out.
I HIGHLY advise you to stay AWAY from verage sale. They pull you in with the 'safe' bit, but seriously the lady's on here are not polite and SUPER cheap. Craigslist is better and faster.
Please save yourself some frame and go to anyother site to sell.

This was my first attempt to join this "community." I live close to an area (*******) and I clicked it. The zip code on the registration incorrectly filled my zip as *******. My correct zip is *******. I was denied joining *******. Imagine how it feels to be told "No, access denied." I will leave and will not return. This is not the kind of organization I want to associate with.

There are grown $#*! woman who complain to the administrator like a little girl just because she is incompetent and can not read. Just because she wanted my items, she thought she was the one who should get them when there multiple people who showed interest first. So she goes to the administrator who then kicks me off of the community just because Diana said it was an issue. The only issue is ignorance. I actually feel very upset about the situation and I have also been falsy consequenced. I will not EVER use this app again.

I searched for a rare 1965 poster of the Gateway Arch and found only one in the USA in Mobile AL Varagesale. I contacted the admin and asked if they could relay a message to seller and see if I could buy it. I even offered to pay the $100 for the poster without the glass and frame to make it easy to ship. Admin said no. Great platform for selling your lawnmover to local buyers but if you have something unique to a region 600 miles away of your town, you might want to consider ebay.

AWFUL HEADACHE! Use Facebook Marketplace instead. Heck, just wait for garage sales. Shop local thrift stores. Do anything but support this travesty. I was denied acceptance into their "secret cult" because they "could not access my full Facebook account", they "could not verify my name" and "could not see my entire face in my profile picture". Verification, you see. Making sure I am not a Spam Bot. No I see BS and I'm calling VarageSale out! I have my Facebook account locked down, because well, it's my Facebook account. So after 3 days of no response I had to message "admin" only for them to take 2 more days to deny me. This is utter ridiculous. If you want to verify me, let's see, the fact that I REACHED OUT TO YOU, should be an indication that I am NOT SPAM! Oh well, I'm sorry for all of you that do sell stuff on VarageSale. You can thank your local "admin" for another would-be customer telling the truth and moving on.
