I've updated. As user for a little while now I had to downgrade my rating. Pros: did have my posts approved on time so no complaints there. Cons: Time wasters - although only a couple - didn't even bother to turn up or give reason Surprisingly the people who post can be awful which you don't expect Been offered items which have been given away from under me. One person said "sorry someone else collected this morning - said they weren't going to come but turned up anyway" Bearing in mind this was like 5am in the morning when this person allegedly collected ... People posting can very unkind sometimes. I responded to someone's post for some seating cushions. I offered to collect that same day. No reply. 2 days later they appeared to be offering it to me giving me the sizes (which I asked for). I explained due to a family member being seriously sick I'd try to come soon depending on how close they were. They didn't reply to my question and the person then cruelly responded that someone else was coming to collect that same day and they'd let me know if they didn't. It wasn't until days later the item was marked taken. Leading you up the garden path. Cruel Post-ee who allegedly told me they no longer had the item - as they sold the item - this was 30 mins before I was to collect it People who post taking liberties Now I've experienced it for a fair amount of time sad to say my experience has been more negative than positive.

I didn't have the same problems as others seem to have. Easy to post, drag and drop pictures and ads were approved in an hour or so, sometimes less. The BIG problem for me has been the sheer volume of time wasters. Almost every ad seems to invite them. They are ruining a great idea, The site would do well to have a simple reporting system so that regular offenders can be blocked.

The website needs work but the community here are, as a rule, generous and kind. The moderators work hard - a proper grassroots organisation that should be supported.

A 2 from me . Used in past snd it was once good . However , glitchy website , unfelpful and not succinct in what it wants . As for moderators ! There’s one of my stars . Poor site . Poorly run and managed badly . Moderators writing certain words in capitals!!!! Really poor approach to customer service . Will stick to charities in future .

In the past this website was helpful but maybe it’s the sign of the times. I never got approved for something I posted over a month ago! How busy are they? Never again. Trash. That is not nice to keep people waiting.

Just to back up what others say really, awful interface, people say you can have arrange then pull out, tiny tiny thing moderators dont like they bin your whole post never tell you exactly what they dont like, I used a while ago and left as of all this, I see new interface thought try again, but same moderators up own behind, so gave up, as other guy said easier to skip it, sad but true, I did 2 runs to tip, so much easier bish bash 1 hour all gone, freecycle, and freegle waste of time now, dont waste your time

I was trying to delete messages in my Messages folder. I could not find a way. Can someone help me please?

Great principle but the site is very difficult to navigate.
