Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. We looked into your account and found that your listing received 10 leads: 5 were automatically declined by our spam filters before ever reaching you, 4 were delivered but later identified and flagged as spam, and 1 was fully delivered as a genuine inquiry. Unfortunately, scam attempts are a challenge across most online marketplaces, not just ours. That's actually why we've built trust features into our platform to catch and block as many fraudulent leads as possible before they ever reach our sellers.

Hi John, We looked into your account and confirmed that two spam leads were identified and blocked on your listing. Beyond those, other leads that came through were legitimate inquiries, so while spam attempts are frustrating, your listing did receive genuine interest as well. We know scam attempts are an unfortunate reality across most online marketplaces, which is why we continuously invest in product updates and security measures to catch and block as much fraudulent activity as possible, and to keep this a trustworthy space for buyers and sellers. We appreciate you sharing your experience with pricing as well, and we're always happy to help sellers think through pricing strategy and listing details. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Hi Kurt, thanks for the review, that's great to hear on both sides of the transaction. Boat Trader is built to serve buyers and sellers alike, so it's especially rewarding to hear it worked for you both ways. Appreciate you taking the time to share this.

Sorry to hear the sale ended up going through elsewhere. Boat Trader is built around reaching people who are actively looking to buy, so we do see a lot of success stories come through the site, If you list with us again, our team would be glad to take a look at your ad and suggest anything that might help it move faster or get in front of the right buyer next time.

Hi Jill, thank you for the feedback, and we're sorry for the trouble uploading and viewing photos, and that no inquiries came through. Photo presentation matters a lot for boat listings. Our team is always happy to help walk you through how to navigate and update your listings.
