Positive Changes That Make a Real Difference

I’ve noticed a big improvement on Adverts over the last few weeks. The platform feels much cleaner and well moderated — it appears that many scam accounts and private sellers operating commercially (without proper tax or VAT compliance) have been removed.
Eddie, Jenny, Ray and the team have always resolved any issues for me quickly and fairly, which is greatly appreciated.
It’s made a real difference to the overall quality of listings and buyer confidence. Credit where it’s due — this kind of cleanup is exactly what the site needed, and it shows a genuine effort to support legitimate sellers and protect users.

Hassle free for years

I've been using it for years . Sold and bought with no issues. I won't deal with a buyer or seller with bad reviews and so far that's kept it all relatively hassle free. I never pay to bump my ads, so for a free site I can't complain at all.

Reliable, Easy to Use, Great Support

I’ve been using Adverts for over a decade and it’s always been a great platform. I’ve bought and sold a few things, but the best part is the free items – I’ve picked up loads of really good things over the years and have given away plenty that were no use to me but useful to others.

There’s a huge variety of items and the interface is very user-friendly (both app and web). There are handy features like alerts, watch lists, saved searches, and the option to search nearby. The feedback system also helps you decide who to deal with.

Customer support was excellent the one time I needed it – my account was blocked because I added a URL, but Eddie from support reactivated it within hours.

The bad reviews due to scams are unfair - scammers are everywhere, and Adverts shouldn't be responsible for users sending money to strangers online.

I’d definitely recommend it to anyone.

Despite repeated warnings of a ROMA…

Despite repeated warnings of a ROMA scammer operating in Cork under various accounts after he got initially banned, Adverts staff protects him and will ban your account instead for noticing him in operation. Stay well clear of this site.

Don't waste your money paying for an ad…

Don't waste your money paying for an ad as stated by somebody else in Cork tech sections.No sooner is your ad up on the site it is gone from the main page. It is filled with shop accounts selling hundreds of items that are being constantly deleted and re bumped to the top. Usually it's old tat 0.1 pc of the population wants.The computer and electronics section is for unscrupulous shops selling bits of dodgy repaired tech. Individual private sellers do not stand a chance.Be on the look out for old pc parts as well, that are placed inside a new case with lights. This is a well known trick to fool people who have no knowledge of PC's . The parts are all taken from other rigs and repaired with varying longevity . Usually not more than 3 to six months of use.You will have no warranty and no comeback. Buy only from people who have receipts for warranty of any items.Also bring witnesses to any deal.The site can be made great by removing the scammers and bringing it back to the people and not shops.

A nightmare of a site

A nightmare of a site, constantly having to sign in, staff not helpful and terrible slow to reply, really terrible support, the worst ever site, constantly has problems. Allows people on it that should not be allowed. They are only interested in people/scammers that wants to give them money to do nothing. Avoid this site

A cesspit

The site is, in my opinion, a cesspit or Mos Eisley of the Irish online market place! I got scammed and can’t get through to their support.
I take it they don’t want to deal with it and the user who scammed me is still online!

A very good online marketplace.

I live in Galway and regularly use adverts.ie to buy and sell used items. My experience of using this site is positive. If you take good photos, give honest descriptions and reasonably price your items they will sell but it may take time. However, living in the Dublin area, because of its population density, will be an advantage. All in all, I have found and continue to find adverts.ie a very good marketplace.
