Adverts.ie Reviews 

I have been a member for quite some time, and try to notify them when adverts are misleading or wrong.
I strongly believe people / staff / admin have friends and family operating wrongly and illegally, but dispite reporting nothing is done.
I’ve seen items. Listed incorrectly etc and adverts just don’t care, end up blocking myself whilst advert continues to be shown.
Adverts needs to step up, the funny thing is if it was I doing something wrong I’d be slapped with another account block.

Filled with shops pretending to be private sellers in the Tech sections . Likely to avoid paying governemnt tax. Especially prevallent in Cork and Dublin where they use many accounts to break up their thousands of ads selling old scrap taken from technology. Yes it is the same group in Cork .Shop is based in Douglas Rochestown and the City Centre. As you can see from other reports, reporting them does nothing and will likely get you banned instead.They have been at it for years and had several of their accounts band in the past.This is before adverts changed hands.

Avoid Adverts.ie ! Almost everything I ordered was in bad condition. Staff bunch of maroons, rude and useless. They have no protection policy, so you are taking a risk, like I did. Would not recommend 🙄 There is much better websites with better options and software.

Left warranted negative feedback for a seller, gunner39 on this website. He sends the item I purchased to the wrong address and after a week later he hadn’t even queried a Post as to the items whereabouts. He then gets arrogant and haughty when I bring all this to his attention.
adverts,ie customer support removed my feedback, no record now of his behaviour. When I asked them why they removed the feedback - no response, no answer.

Update: 26/06 My account on adverts.ie has now been blocked & An Post have confirmed that gunner39 sent the item to the wrong address.

Love the feedback system. The site does need some improvements though, buggy messaging and duplicate ads from resellers are some of the big problems for me

and it's an app where you find dilapidated, poorly maintained, dirty items sold as if they were new. Be wary of the sellers on this app if you want to sell them something, they insult you because they want to buy things for free. When they are the ones selling dirty, poorly maintained items, they end up earning more than the new product costs!
bad bad very bad I would have given zero but it's not possible

This review is 5 stars only because of a customer service guy called Ray.
Went beyond with assistance.
Not used to such efficiency . A1 will never match up to Ray.

After years of gathering over 450 positive feedbacks from a lot of customers with happy purchases and belie in me it wasn't easy! one day over a dispute i had with a useless Moldavian clown with multiple fake accounts and a lot of negatives feedback out of no where Adverts decided to suspend my account without notification. It's very frustrating how the guys from working on behalf of adverts don't give a crap about your years of gaining all the trust or explaining makes no difference to them answering your emails taken ages and when they do is basically like oh yeah we don't care!
Why have feedbacks and house rules if it's being disregarded and it doesn't matter? My advice is stay away from them specially honest sellers because Adverts is mostly for scammers and time wasters 🛑

Blocks accounts for no reason. Very annoying and a hassle for the seller and buyer. Avoid and find an alternative

Adverts.ie locks your account without any alert, email, or notification. No warning. No explanation. You only find out when a buyer tries to contact you and can't.

This has happened to me before. And now it happened again while I was in the middle of arranging a sale. The buyer cannot find me, cannot message me, and likely thinks I am a scammer. My reputation takes a hit through no fault of my own.

Their support is slow. Their system is broken. And they clearly don't care about honest sellers.

If you are going to lock accounts, at least have the decency to send a notification. But they won't. And they won't reply to this review either.

Unprofessional. Frustrating. Avoid if you value your time and reputation.

Site provides no protection against fraudsters. All purchases are fully on your own risk.

Site taken over by a Polish tech gang . Pages upon pages of recycled slop in the computer and electronics section. Fix your site or lose more customers.

Error code 1015, kicked off the website for simply using it as intended, its also an awful website, one of the worst i've ever seen. It looks like something from the 90s. Its seriously been an awful experience I would put 0/5 stars if possible. would not recommend this website to anybody.

This site has a system where you can review and block timewasters ,supposed to help make the site work but I'd a complete clown offered me the right money for an item and I accepted it ,bearing in mind I live in Kerry and this guy in Carlow,260 km away.I brought this to his attention and he expected me to deliver the item to Carlow next time I'm up that way.A total timewaster, I reported his as that and gave him bad feedback yet adverts over ruled me and let him away with it after I also got dogs abuse from him.Its no longer fit for purpose when they break their own rules and don't have the decency to contact the seller for their side of the story,full of time wasters and messers and not being controlled.

Utter waste of time...ads up for 12mnths + not taken down bunch if time wasters. Pity it used to be good!!

Paid for a product, then the guy disappeared. Adverts.ie doesn't care about anything they just said "go to the police". Never more.

The team deserves an updated review. Since they implemented two‑factor authentication, Adverts.ie has become a much cleaner and safer place. Today I ended up chatting with a very sophisticated scammer, no idea how they got in, but the Adverts team spotted the issue and disabled the account before I even had a chance to report it. The scammer was so convincing that even I doubted a few times whether they were actually a scammer or not. Great work.

People please read this!!!
There is corruption on Aderts and the admins are scammers, they have never replied to my email yet, this is an unbelievable big scam on Irish sites, I prefer to use Donedeal and I am very satisfied.
I know I have to write a negative review on Adverts.ie they blocked my account without informing me that they want to block my account or asking me for an explanation it is very unprofessional behavior from Adverts we are people we are not animals we deserve an explanation why the account is blocked and I will write one more thing adverts is not what it used to be it is racist adverts is only for emigrants not for decent people.

The site allows scammers and businesses to flood the website with multiple adds, hardly can find the items you need as of result, than you have buy in bulk people that buy say all the TV ‘ ( most likely for hotels to exchange old TV’s) not giving anyone else to purchase a TV , this particular buyer ,scotdude99, talks down adds and sellers, has a bad attitude and disrespectful attitude towards sellers and enough bad reviews to support this,yet Eddie from adverts doesn’t care,he removed my comments calling this person out ( even if i was defending other sellers here, not myself) but he never addressed this guy’s attitude, adverts just cares about their site being overly used, as it gives them more attention, but doesn’t care about the quality of content and individual buyers, the site is slowly turning comercial, where businesses use free advertising for their products, whilst the website itself initial intent was to help small individuals ppl , which was admirable. Adverts, shame on you!

Site taken over by Eastern European tech gangs. They have quadruple accounts selling old rubbish from eBay and Amazon returns, etc. I spoke with and met the same person or his partner on different accounts in Cork. He and his pals have taken over the whole electronics and computer section.
