  • Shipping costs bring it down

    The recent hike of shipping costs really brings down the usefulness. The costs claim to be under retail but that is simply a lie. You can purchase directly from several shipping providers or from sites like PayPal for a much lower rate. It’s unfortunate that they can simply lie and get away with it.

    Additionally, “all sales final” is not true. I recently sold an item - two comics clearly listed with descriptions and approx grade. The buyer asked for a refund while in transit and was given it while I was never given ANY context on what disqualified my order. They claim to have very clear guidelines for what disqualifies an order and although my item clearly fell within those guidelines it was still refunded. When I got my items back after no communication, I simply posted and sold on EBay.

    If you are just trying to sell an old pair of pants this site is for you. If you are trying to establish a continued sales base, you can do much better.
  • Love it but some suggestions to make it phenomenal

    -To be able to organize your likes into categories
    -To be able to search within your likes
    -Be able to see your likes ..more pictures to a page than just 2 pictures side by side scrolling; because it’s impossible to get all the way to the end and see your oldest saved likes. Give us “pages” so we can go all the way through and see everything we have saved. I can never find something I remember liking a month ago even though I know it’s in there because there are just too many likes since I saved it.
    -I’ve spent literally HOURS searching for that one particular thing I know I saved. If there was a section that showed only things that are on your liked list that have sold or been removed it would save so much hassle. Have an option to notify you when an item you likes sold and for it to automatically be removed from your list of likes and just be on a sold likes list.
    I’m totally addicted to this app and if I don’t start selling soon I’m going to become a hoarder! Please consider these updates to the app!!
  • I sold my first item and it was only listed for 3 minutes

    I really like Marketplace. The design of the app is way nicer than ebay’s, it’s easier to see listings, and it’s easy to list items. I wish I could put more than 3 tags on items but oh well.
    I put a Pokemon card up for sale and literally in three minutes I had 8 people view it and a counter offer which I accepted. That’s another thing I love. It’s easy to make offers, decline and accept them, message people, everything is just so simple.
    This point is probably not exclusive to Marketplace but the ability to just print a shipping label once your item sells is SO convenient. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to just get rid of a few things they don’t need anymore, or sell custom things.
  • Pretty satisfied

    I really like how the app looks and how it’s platformed — In comparison to other similar apps, I think Marketplace is definetely one of the best second-hand shopping (and selling) apps out there.
    I think one of the key contributing factors to my positive opinion is that there are a lot of people on this app. Not only does the sheer amount of people on it make it easier for you to buy or sell something, it also makes the prices of items more competitive from a consumer POV.

    I only have one microscopic complaint and that is that when you select “Make Offer” or “Message Seller” it automatically adds it to your Liked list. It’s definetely a mear inconvenience because you can dislike the item in a heartbeat, but it would make my experience even better if I could continue shopping rather than going back and disliking the item.
  • Great selling app!!

    Marketplace has become my favorite place to sell. It’s so easy to list items and I like the fact that people can just straight out buy your products. You can always find what you’re looking for and it’s constantly being renewed. You can save your searches and get alerts each day. When you make a purchase the buyer has a certain amount of days with which they have to sit send the item. The seller does not receive payment until the buyer is satisfied. You can always Contact customer service if you’re unhappy with your purchase and most times get a refund immediately. Customer service has really improved. I’m really happy selling here and will continue To buy and sell on Marketplace.
  • #1 sell/buy online app!!!

    This app has truly been a blessing for my family and I!!! A few yrs ago due to health reasons , It became somewhat impossible for me to get around and shop .. not just getting quality items , but affordable , like new ( and in some instances “New”) items . I chose for gifts to give my love ones. There are local apps available that provide the same offer(s). But again.. for someone like me that can’t meet the seller in a safe place to make the business transaction. And due to safety reasons, not allowing them to my place of residence. This app has truly been a blessing!!! Are them so things that can be improved? Of course, nothings prefect. But I can honestly say.. I’ve purchased over 400 items from Marketplace, and I’ve only had problems with no more than 10 to 15 items. I consider this to be a “ Win Win”!!! Thank U Marketplace.. may u b around for many more yrs to come .. and may u never change so yr app no longer benefits yr customers financially or in fairness business wise!!
  • Why Marketplace is Worth Downloading

    Whether you’re buying or selling - Marketplace is your best option. Everything is shipped by mail, so no awkward meet ups w/strangers & offers are controlled in increments so no low ball offers like you’ll see on OfferUp & LetGo. They only take 10% commission, unlike Poshmark who takes 20% & with Marketplace shipping can be as low as $3.49 vs. Poshmarks $7.95 regardless of it’s 5 pairs of jeans or a small hair scrunchie. You’ll find the best deals & you’ll make as much as you put into it. Through Marketplace alone, I’ve paid all my bills; car registration, insurance, my phone, & still stayed stocked w/beauty products, clothes, gifts for people & ive cleared out a lot of clutter in the process. It’s way less strict than EBay, & being that it’s app ran, you’re looking at a much faster platform of buyers & sellers than that of an older, less technology-based generation like that of craigslist. Now that I know what I know about Marketplace, I check Marketplace prices before making a specific purchase every time.
  • Community in the digital age!

    The other day when I left my neighborhood on the way to work l saw a tiny dead dog on the side of the road, He had a collar but no tags and was still warm so I moved him up towards the sidewalk and marked him with orange yard flags.
    I checked the next-door site before going into work after completing the drive, and saw that someone had posted that they were missing their dog and they included pictures, and sure enough the dog I found was theirs.
    I replied to the post and told him where their baby was. She was grateful to have found him and at least have some closure.
    This would not have happened so quickly and cleanly if not for this site. It is a very useful tool that I am very grateful for!
  • very trustworthy. they handle scammers very well.

    as a big collector of littlest pet shops, i downloaded this app in search of some cheap *authentic* rare lps. i made many purchases with them and they were all smooth. Until one time this woman posted a picture that she stole from an lps instagram page and claimed it was hers and that she was selling that specific authentic lps for a really cheap price. i bought the lps, she told me it was authentic, i recieved it and was very disappointed to find it was not authentic. (authentic of this lps costs $50-$100, a fake costs about $2 off ebay. i payed $20 for the lps i bought from her, so it was a very good deal.) anyways i messaged the lady very nicely and told her that the lps was fake. she *flipped* out on me saying i was a scammer and i was somehow attempting to scam and take my money back without sending her "precious lps". so i filed a scam report with Marketplace explaining my situation and, rather quickly, a return was scheduled. the lady still was accusing me of scamming and kept saying that she would expose me rada rada, but after she recieved the lps i recieved all my money back, and everything went well. thanks Marketplace for carrying out these scammers very smoothly and effectively. i continue to use this app and their scam protection is way better than ebays.
  • Best shopping app to date!

    Marketplace is by far my favorite place to shop these days! I have found great deals and have worked with wonderful people on this app. It’s so easy to buy and totally worry free. I feel safe. I even tried my hand at selling a little while I was home from work during quarantine, and it was incredibly easy! It seriously doesn’t get much simpler then this! I am NOT a tech savvy person at all and this was easy for me to sell on! It was an awesome opportunity to teach my 9 year old son some things about business, customer service and making/saving money! Highly recommend. He had some LEGO figures he did not want or already had and he has many more he wants for his collection. So he sold the ones he had doubles of and was able to purchase new Star Wars mini figures for his loved collection! Great lessons were learned, quality time spent together with him, and he got to earn the things he wanted! This is a no brainer !!! Try it out! I think you’ll love it too!
