WALLAPOP IS THE WORST... TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT ONLINE APPS LIKE THIS.
NOTHING BUT A MISERABLE experience simply reaching someone in customer service. I have posted the same ads six times now and they remove them for no reason. Ive sent DETAILED emails to them explaining we have been in business 45 years and are one of the CREDIBLE SELLERS. THE KIND THEY SHOULD BE PROUD TO HAVE & NEED ACCORDING TO ALL THE SCAM POSTINGS I"VE READ REGARDING THEIR SITE. Nothing I sell is restrictive (AS STATED IN THEIR GUIDELINES) and we are Top Rated sellers on Ebay (who most definitely have serious standards for listing). ALL I GET BACK ARE GENERIC MESSAGES AFTER I EXPLAINING THE ISSUES with detail and ASKING THEM TO POLITELY JUST GIVE A CALL & BE SPECIFIC WITH WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY ADS. Here is a copy of the mail I have sent...
"Nothing I've posted on Wallapop is Unauthorized or prohibited according to your rules and regulations... kindly let me know by way of a phone call why you are removing my ads. As stated we are one of the top buyers and most reputable dealers in the United States with accreditations most wish they have. TOP RATED SELLERS ON EBAY. Anything stated and posted on your site is exactly what I sell on eBay & Craigslist whom I'm sure has the same rules and regulations regarding its content. No issues with either. My phone numbers are below and I can be reached anytime please."
They are deleting ads of IMAGES I ACTUALLY OWN that include our Company business card & FLYER (Simply for reference and detailing the respect and accreditations our company's 45yr history). SOMETHING ANY BUYER SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE TO KNOW AND SEE.
I WILL FOR SURE DELETE MY ACCOUNT AND TELL ANYONE ELSE TO AS WELL. WALLAPOP ARE A COMPANY THAT CAN'T EVEN PROPERLY EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE REMOVING MY ADS. JUST GENERIC BS. THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T WISH TO BE REACHED OR DO ANY REACHING BACK WHEN KINDLY ASKED AND FOR JUSTIFICATIONS AND DETAILED REASONS.
I HAVE MADE A COPY OF THIS MESSAGE AND WILL POST IT EVERYWHERE I CAN Like: SITEJABBER.COM, TWITTER, GOOGLE etc. unless I receive a proper phone call explaining WHAT ON EARTH THEY ARE DOING OVER THERE.
YOU KNOW HOW TO REACH ME WALLAPOOP
