  • It’s a Catastrophe

    I have been using spoke since the app was invented I have only 5 star reviews and never not had anything thing less than a 5 star review and every single review follows with a comment of how amazing I am as a buyer or seller and I am highly recommended I have never left a deal unfinished yet still shpock has blocked my account for no reason and when I ask they don’t even know what they are speaking about themselves anyway once upon a time I would have highly recommended this app but now most of the people selling things are fake accounts and the people running shpock are a joke as they block genuine accounts like mine but yet still people out there trying to rob real genuine people still have a up and running account to continue to rob people I have contacted shpock they get back to me after 2 week and I have sent the numerous number of messages you cannot be that busy your far from eBay levels yet still eBay get back to you with in one day your a full mess and need to sort out our app and staff before all like me see what the app is really about and you see your business come to a swift end il be sure to turn all my friends families and other users away from this app!!!!!

  • Quick and easy selling

    I really enjoy how easy and fast I can sell my stuff on Shpock. The process of putting an item online is super clean. Not as successful as eBay from a seller’s point of view, yet, but maybe Shpock gets there...

  • Spam

    Spams you with notification ads every day even if you turn off all notifications except those for when people bid on your postings. Keep away if you want to keep your sanity.

    Update: lol, developer replied and tried telling me how to set notification settings. I have already turned them off. It didn’t help. That’s why you’re now getting 1 star. My settings are set to ONLY notify me on bids or comments on my items, yet I get spam at least weekly begging me to post more items to sell.

    Hello Joachim, You can of course set your notifications up the way you like. In order to manage your notifications in the Shpock app please follow these steps: Open 'My Shpock' and tap on the small gear wheel at the top right Tap on 'Notifications' Here you are able to set how frequent and which type of notifications you wish to receive on your phone. Kind regards
  • Reporting

    It’s however unfair that anyone could just press the report button and vroom your account is restricted even if the person was wrong. The item in question could be removed pending investigation not the whole account. This happened to me and I just broke down in tears. I was incapacitated based on a lie. 😪😪
    I hardly make any sale in this website because I don’t have junks that people want to pay 50pence for, but it gives me the feeling that I am doing something useful with my existence. I am not a very healthy person medically and I use this app as my therapy to reach out to other people by listing my items and even if it doesn’t get sold, I am still keeping busy. When my account was restricted based on an unfounded reason I went ballistic and removed everything from my listing and when my account is resolved my therapy will begin when I start listing again. There is never anyone to speak to because I called about 100 times when this happened, I was distraught that someone could just take away my joy just by pressing a button. It is unfair. Please do your findings on the reported item not the whole account.

  • Quick and easy to use, most buyers are genuine, developer is responsive

    We’ve been using shpock for over two years and prefer this platform to sell unwanted items, including technology, clothes and bric a brac. Its also great to be able to search locally for something you need and ask the seller questions before you visit to buy. The app is easy to use. Simply take a picture(s) of your item within the app, add a description, price it and click, its for sale. The majority of shpockers are honest and trustworthy. I like the opportunity to meet a buyer and receive cash - no fee to pay! I’m also happy to send items by post using paypal payment. Shpock instructs that when a deal is offered, accepted and confirmed it is legally binding. This is not true as some buyers will change their mind and fail to turn up for their items. Just re-list the sale and carry on. Be careful to only present your full address to buyers within the deal/offer dialogue of the app. All shpockers can see the open questions and answers section. Be firm with buyers about time frame for collection to minimise hassle. Shpock would improve if it provided an escrow service ie, hold a payment with an offer, requiring the buyer to have ‘skin in the game’. This would stop any time-wasting.

  • GREAT WAY TO SELL UNWANTED ITEMS WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR LISTING THEM LIKE EBAY !!

    Loving this app ! So easy to list and sell all those unwanted items and it cost you nothing !
    The ONLY downside about it is that you do get those idiots who offer to buy your items and don’t follow through on the deal even after they’ve accepted it ! ( I’ve had that experience ) But Shpock staff are quick to SUSPEND those idiots who think it’s funny to do this as Shpock done it for me despite repeated warnings to the time waster. I do think it might be a good idea if Shpock add a “ warning “ notice of some kind to EVERYONE, for example, just before a possible buyer accepts a deal, should they then ignore requests for payments or refuse to complete the deal, they WILL be SUSPENDED or BANNED, This WILL act as a deterrent for those who think it’s acceptable to do this. I’ve only experienced that situation once. TOP MARKS to Shpock for a fantastic site !! 👍🏼🥇🏆 I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM to EVERYONE !!

  • Great App, some end users bring it down though!

    The Shpock app itself is really good and well thought out - it's intuitive, relevant and ergonomic in almost every area. The only downside to this app is nothing to do with the build of the app and everything to do with the end users who are using it. I would say it's roughly 50/50 on whether you are going to get a trustworthy and responsible, honest and reliable buyer/seller and the rest of the time it's going to be people who just literally waste everyone's time and don't seem to care about it. This is a shame because it's so easy to upload a new item for sale within literally seconds, but then to spend sometimes weeks or months selling it because you've had to relist the item several times due to people saying they are buying it then not turning up or cancelling the sale altogether - there is no real incentive to the buyer to carry on to the end of the transaction if they so happen to just change their minds, I understand that this is sometimes good for everyone but St the same to.e, I tink it would be better if "repeat" incidents by the sesame buyer/seller are then treated differently and some sort of eating or penalty fee are then levied on those users, that would surely help to weed out the non-serious users?... Anyway... Rant aside as I said this app is brilliant for what it is intended for and is really easy to use even for the beginner level users out there.

  • Great app!!

    Very easy to use. It would be nice if we could filter sold items while search.

    Thanks Shpock team!!
  • Fab selling app, adds annoying, no support!

    Great app for selling, no fees etc, but annoying adds constantly in your inbox and every time u put an item for sale it constantly tries to get u to pay for it to vip it etc, if this was removed and only offered on first sale I would rate 5*, should give u the option to click when you're ready or want to, not try and get u to do it each time u list or even click on your own item. I suppose it's free and free to list so they do need to try and make some money, but it shouldn't be every time u click on your own add or try and list something imo. Also why does it have to show you your own items your selling when you’re looking for something or even just browsing? If you’re selling 30 things then it insists on showing you those in your line up! Why?!? Why would you want to buy your own stuff?!? 😳 other than that it's an ok app! Does what it says, just Crap if buyers or sellers let you down! No customer service and no help for buyers or sellers!

  • International Craigslist, but safer!

    So awesome. The process is so easy to buy and you have much more security with this system. I love how it has international coverage and it automatically pulls from the entire database worldwide. You can always find what you want/need without searching 500&1 different areas.
