Hi John, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you sold your boat although we're disappointed it was not on Boat Trader. We noticed photos weren't added to your listing until a few days after it went live, photos are key to getting views, so even a short delay can impact early results. Our team also sends out listing recommendations to help boost performance, as we know how important an optimized listing is.

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.

Thanks for the detailed feedback on the app! This is actually something we've seen before it often happens when someone logs into the app with a different account (like Google or Apple Sign-In) than the one tied to their original email, which can accidentally create a second account. If you don't think that's what happened here, we'd really appreciate it if you could email us at [email protected] so we can dig into it further. Thanks again for taking the time to share this!

Hi Gregory, though we're glad you sold your boat, we're sorry to hear it wasn't on Boat Trader. Buyers asking for extra photos isn't always a red flag on its own, but repeated requests with no real follow-through often is, our team can help you spot those patterns before you invest more time replying. Feel free to flag specific messages to [email protected] if you want a second opinion on any of them.
