So much great meetings with people that sell. So happy I joined and get to save money on good things.
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..
Tried and used this site for a year and selling dollar store item and cheap or giving away free items is fine. Admins are power trip, power hungry and extremely rude people. Especially the one trying to run the Calgary site/ show. They will revoke or cancel your membership if you over post too many items for sale or accidentally use the same photo for your posting and can't use stock or website pics, or list of what you can't do goes on. The site is Garbage. Get your yourself on Facebook marketplace and kijiji and less rules for selling to post and your sales all will sell within Mins or days! Don't waste a single min trying to argue or get on VarageSale.
Tip for consumers:
Run far away and sell on other sites. Varage sale is not an effective site. Rude and Incompetent admins, sill rules that change by the second. Unaccounted kick offs with no appeal process or higher authorities.
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.

Can you use a product because their attitude is so s***** in their administrators of hypocrisy your hypocritical liars people do not follow their own rules
After 3 flat out rejections trying to join this site to just buy a garden tractor I changed my rural address, very close to nearby groups to an urban address 100 miles from them and wonder upon wonders the next day I was accepted in all the groups that had told me I was "too far out of their areas". Go figure? Bought my tractor through a different site the next day, partly out of spite for all the aggravation, will not likely ever use this site now.
We are equal distances to the three nearest communities and received the same response from each. "You are out of our area of the community we are building." -you are not welcome here. They are wacked. Who would not want more buyers for their items? I understand that people will not want to drive 30mins to buy a 5 dollar item but when shopping for a thousand dollar item a half hour is nothing. This site might work in high population areas but it is garbage for rural Saskatchewan. Would not have been quite as irritated had I not had to waste half an hour doing the sign-up only to find I can't use it to buy an item found on a google search 30miles away. If you have an item more valuable than used cat litter post it elsewhere.
Having had items on here for over 2 years, I have never sold 1 item on this site despite lowering prices.It is useless.
Removed muy honest, but negative review when a seller lied about the quality and quantity of a lot of kids clothes. The moderator then blocked me from that seller so I couldn't comment. Seller basically said I should have looked through everything first and varage sale rules echo the same attitude. Yuck!
This girl is a ready *. Without any notice my membership was revocked and when I requested to know why I was told I sell fakes which is gods honest truth a complete and unwarranted lie. When I demanded that my membership get reinstated I was told no and was blocked from sending any messages. Who does this chick think she is.

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.

If you lie, or set up a false profile you can join the groups you want. If you are honest, then the admins powertrip and refuse to let you in. Doesnt matter if you are in the same state and willing to drive to the local area either. When people are punished for being honest, then this is a redflag that this online platform is unsafe. When you are trying to connect with other people, you definitely want a platform that encourages honesty.
As a seller, I would think about the impact of this for you personally. This means you get less buyers because the admins are controlling who you have access to transact with. I certainly wouldnt want to put the time and effort into taking good photos, writing descriptions and waiting on buyers just to know the admins may impair sales. But thats just me.
