Fun. Fast. Friendly. 

SocialSell combines all three for this unique spin on Classified ads.

Our users love SocialSell! Here are some of their testimonies! 

"For me, this app is an alternative to Craigslist. It's actually a safer and more reliable alternative because it takes away the anonymity and puts two interested parties in direct contact. This is great for people like me who love to buy things at great prices but have been taken advantage of or conned by people on other sites. I enjoy the easiness of this app especially when searching for items. The search functions are good for getting specific parameters and making the transactions quick and painless. It really puts the fun back into bargain shopping. In fact, I feel like it's a modern day version of garage sale shopping."

"I'm a self-employed single parent and I really enjoy working from home so that I can be with my kids. A few years ago, I started selling items online mostly through Ebay and Craigslist. Now, I enjoy the perks of these sites but they also left me wanting more opportunities. I came across this SocialSell app and I decided to give it a try. Instantly, it realized how great this will be for my at-home business. It's easy to use, easy to communicate with potential buyers, and very intuitive. I've had some early success selling items on here and it's less of a headache than the other places I mentioned. If you are looking to sell some items, or buy some, then check out this app. It's worth your time."

"This app is part marketplace and part social network. You can connect with others as you are trying to sell something. It's easy to use and you can post something in a matter of seconds. There's unlimited postings which is great if you have a lot of items to sell. This app also eliminates the anonymous info and makes it so two real people can contact each other. The search parameters are easy and convenient. I've already sold a few items and bought a few too. It was as simple as saying hi and I would like to buy your item. This app is almost like an online treasure hunt."

### 1/5 — Stay away from this app.!!!

*2019-02-28*

I went on to this app. and there is illegal drugs being sold on this site. I don’t know how to tell the app. Of this. But if you see what age this is appropriate for it says 4+.

### 1/5 — Booted

*2019-02-17*

I joined and signed in then all of a sudden it asked me to sign in again and I enter my info correctly and say it’s not correct idk why happened

### 1/5 — Ain’t gonna happen

*2018-08-28*

Downloaded app and i set up my account and it disappears wants me to do it again, after finally creating an account did my first item to sell and it disappears after i enter it...didn’t sell anything but i sure got agitated

### 1/5 — Not Worth it!!

*2017-08-10*

Such a hassle to even make an account, not worth it!

### 1/5 — Is this a real app??

*2017-05-26*

Once you post an item, you cannot update it. You cannot change the price or pictures. If you sell the item, you cannot delete it. It's stays on forever. This app shows your EXACT location to the whole entire world. Selling a valuable item? Don't be surprised if you get robbed in the middle of the night. You can't delete your account. There's no comma symbol on the keyboard. Pictures are cropped horribly and the best part: You pay $2 to post while 5miles, OfferUp, letgo and every other selling app is free. For my own safety, I drove down the street and updated my location and deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Will not create an account

*2017-03-22*

Just purchased it because of a web review recommendation then try to create account and it is stuck. I should have heeded to 2/5 star review and walked away.

### 1/5 — Social sell

*2016-11-28*

Waste of time, money, and effort.

### 1/5 — its totally fake

*2016-09-23*

its totally fake

### 1/5 — Terrible, worthless

*2016-09-19*

Put some more categories on there so people can post more items

### 1/5 — Unhappy with this App

*2016-09-07*

First of all, I will say that I have sold several items on here, but not worth the headache that comes with it! Seller beware!! You may sell your beautiful designer bag, get it to your buyer within 3 days.....don't plan on seeing your money anytime soon!!! It can take up to 21 days for Tradesy to release your money! My buyer personally called and confirmed delivery and authenticity and a week later......no money. Not worth it. I am done on this app...too shady☹️
