Leave a Review 5miles
Customer service is top notch for business.
As many of my colleagues know it’s a tough world out there and all it takes is one unhappy or fraudulent customer to try and ruin. Your reputation and business on this platform. I must commend 5 Mile for I have maintained above a 93% rating since 2016 and generate revenue off of here because the platform rewards performance and also protects you by removing hit jobs from clients that will threaten you to finish things for free.. in a perfect world everyone would be happy. At least this platform is far better than most in being there in support.
Thank you 5mile.Show lessNot enough users
The app is fine, it’s general premise is the same as offer up. The problem is they have like no users. Maybe it’s me but I will post something and after a week have less than 10 views while the same item on offer up has several hundred. I have sold two items here while on the other app I have sold closer to 50/60 in the same amount of time. It’s time to do a marketing push here, there are basically no other local selling apps other than the one I have been mentioning, all other apps take a large percentage and charge to ship (even in local situations, Mercari ) This app would be great if people actually used it!Show lessQuality of sellers has gone downhill
Used to love this app years ago and my experiences on it were largely positive but lately I have noticed a disturbing pattern: sellers are either putting up fake ads, don’t seem serious about selling or will leave conversations hanging in messages with no explanation or resolution. I see it happen on 5miles way more than I see on other apps. I use apps like offerup, Craigslist and Facebook marketplace and my experiences are much better at these other places. People on these other sites seem motivated to sell and will respond in a fairly timely manner and usually resolve the conversations whether it leads to a sale or not. I’m not sure why this trend of lazy, unmotivated or rude sellers on 5miles but it’s been happening way too much and so I wanted to share that on here. Not sure if 5miles can do anything about this disturbing trend but bottom line I think they should know how buyer experiences compare at other places. And no, I’m not low-balling sellers or being rude to them when I contact. It’s just a consistent pattern I have noticed these days that sellers on 5miles seem unmotivated and often leave conversations hanging way more than I have seen at other selling apps or websites.Show less
