VarageSale

I gave email, phone, Facebook and a selfie and not accepted. The admin and staff doesn't provide real names and photos but I give what they ask and not accepted.

This is really full of people that should be removed.

My feelings often change on VarageSale. A lot of good comes out but also a lot of bad. There are a few notorious members who are known for scamming many members and yet they remain on the site, unbanned. It's confusing as to why their memberships have not been revoked when people report them for taking items off of their porch and not paying for it, or people who consistently no show. * is one known offender who constantly scams others. This woman has wrecked havoc and has a poor reputation yet remains on the app and continues to take others money. I hope that admins can get the training they need in order to keep the site safe and running smoothly for everyone in the community.

Its a place lowlifes get to annoy you and creepily stalk you and your possessions. I think this new form of tech is going to slowly destroy the younger minds that have not fully formed yet! As for us older folks if you dont get it well thats just moronic. Selling in todays society has just become a pathetic affair. This site does not even pay it admins so what incentive does an admin have other than a social power trip, it takes a certain kind of woman working two jobs with kids to want to do this for free on her own time. Pathetic stay away cause this place is and so are the people on it.

* is an admin that threatened to revoke my membership if I don't reply to her messages about a question I had about an item I inquired about. She advised me because I'm not replying to her she will revoke my membership which is completely unacceptable. I advised * not to speak to me in the manner that she didn't or handle me as if I am below her in any way period She didn't like that very much and told me that Not only was I verbally abusive to her but she assumed I was then verbally abusive to everyone else in the community and revoked me. I contacted additional admins for the area and they all already knew about what happened conspiring behind the scenes and every time I ask for the process garage sale and how to submit a complaint against an admin or even who the person was above them none of them provided me with any information.

My advice would be to use Facebook and nextdoor to sell on. VarageSale has strict rules on everything and the admins tend to power trip. People are leaving to find other platforms, as sales are hard on VarageSale.

I have been using varage sale to buy and sell household items for years. Sure, you're going to run into problems every now and then, seems all communities are not the same. Ours is run by very helpful admins, they just expect you to read and know the rules. Pretty easy if you don't try to skirt around the rules and aren't looking to cheat buyers. If you're buying, make sure you know what you're buying before handing over the money. Its great if you're on the up & up, you can get some great deals.

We have a great VS community. From time to time like anything we get a bad member but they don't last long.
We tend to get impatient when VS is having app issues but then a member will remind us how great VS's platform is compared to others and then we find patience.
I will say I have noticed more app issues since VS was sold BUT we are still happy with VS.
Besides meets and ppu's we meet weekly on Fridays to exchange our sales/purchases and we have annual an Christmas Party, Easter Egg Hunt for our little ones & end of summer party.

First time user and placed four ads which included a website reference to set up an electronic hockey team ticket manager so I could facilitate sending tickets to a buyer. Adminstrator came on and said you can't have this reference and deleted all the ads. When I tried to explain it was an honest mistake and suggested a warning the first time and that I was happy to make things right I get this you signed up and clicked to join, and the rules clearly state... you are wrong and I'm right... blah blah blah. Not great a great experience. Will stick to kijijii and not provide any positive feedback about this app to any friends and family.

While I do love dealing with VarageSale, the admins are nightmares. The Richmond BC admin, Sarah Margaret, is a power tripper and the South Delta admin Shannon Alicia is just plain elitist and mean. The worst part is that there is no recourse- there is no way to appeal any of their unfair decisions. I don't dare post this review on any community sites because I know I will get removed from the VS- as the admin are basically able to do whatever they want.

I can honestly say I've been using varagesale for about 7 years, you just need ONE PHOTO & your name (or any name) to get approved & the rules are not that bad to follow
Examples (No counterfeit items. No animals allowed, always follow the time when you want to sell or buy an item 'if you sell or buy an item make sure you contact the first person who messaged')
I've had problems with it sure, people were mean/racist to me but I told the administration & they revoked there account.
Also you CAN CHANGE YOUR NAME. My name on the app isn't even my real name.

I have read several complaints from the reviews on here, and Id like to offer the experiences of someone I know who uses this APP to sell their items! The person, I know has been a member for several years, way over the time frame of another member, and from my understanding has helped out in many ways especially for the undo fairness of others on the site and the actions of a person that my friend, has unfortunately had contact with on this VS selling site. It has recently, come down too, my friend reporting the uncalled for actions of a certain member (for stalking, harassing, bidding, and deliberate reading of messages from other members in the community, to use them in reports for the deliberate removal of my friends account on VS. This selling site has PM'S (private messages) saved. That way any member can share them with whoever they wish too and to who ever they want. That alone is a breach of trust and a violation of privacy. I am told that this selling place internet giant, allows information sharing, reselling, people to be creep ed on, stalked, and brutally harassed, but not only from certain members (who join) but as well i am told from the Admin. After reading these reviews others have said, and what has recently happened to my friend. I am not willing to put an account up, and risk my own personal safety and be spoken too badly by the administrators as I am reading over and over on these reviews its a huge issue causing an un trusting selling site for me to use. Ill continue selling my stuff else where. Everyone's feedback was greatly appreciated.

I signup on January 24th on the site, It took them over a week to let me no that my profile was excepted, They sent me a message on Febuary 3, I been using the site since then, But what bugs me about it, Is there hasn,t been any new adds, For items for sale on there site, Also there are adds on the site, That have been on there, For over a year, The site is very disorganized, Also i dont see a option on the site, To delete items, If they have been sold. The site is a total joke, I can,t understand why any buddy would use this site, To try and sell there items.

I've been with varage sale for a long time with many praises and many items for sale. They give you pathetic warnings for posting one picture with multiple items, all the same price. They want you to post each item separately, which I find pathetic and very time consuming. Pretty sad you cant post multiple items in one picture. I'm not going to take the time to take pictures of little items when I can have them all in one. I dont see the big deal. Thay being said, they have now revoked my account and deleted it. Hahaha
This site is garbage. People on the site rarely reply to your interest in items. Facebook marketplace is WAY BETTER anyway. Byeeeeee!

Be careful when using the app, unsafe, constant problems, devices crash, recommend the app if you want to use it with a lot of caution.
