Thank you for your feedback, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience.
We take reports of scam activity extremely seriously and are constantly monitoring the platform to identify and prevent this kind of behaviour. However, while we have systems in place and continue to improve them, it’s not always possible to stop every fraudulent contact before it reaches users.
It’s good to hear you were able to recognise the warning signs, as unfortunately these scams can be convincing and, as you say, could potentially catch others out. We always encourage users to remain vigilant and report any suspicious messages so we can take action as quickly as possible.
For reassurance, thousands of successful and legitimate transactions take place on our platform, and we are continually working behind the scenes to keep it that way and make improvements wherever we can.
We appreciate you raising this and helping us keep the community safe.

Website a bit naff
They changed the user website about a year ago once you post your advert you have no control over it you can't lower the price etc. Preferred the old system this new one you sign in and there's errors or broken gateways which could put potential buyers off.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your feedback. You can make changes to selected fields after posting an advert, including lowering the price, so you should still have some control after your listing goes live. If you’re unable to do this or it’s not working as expected, please give us a call so we can check your account and help resolve it.
We’re not aware of any broken gateways at present, but if you are experiencing errors when signing in or using the platform, please contact us directly so we can investigate and fix any issues as quickly as possible.

Firstly they took money out twice for the advert but did refund after a while. Then got two emails from blokes that were sending couriers to pick the gun up if I sold them it by sending bank transfer details. Yeah right. !

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience — we understand how frustrating this must have been.
Firstly, we sincerely apologise for the duplicate charge for your advert. While we’re glad this was refunded, we appreciate that this shouldn’t have happened in the first place and we fixed the error immediately.
Regarding the messages you received, unfortunately, as an online marketplace that connects buyers and sellers, we cannot fully control how individuals behave. The situations you described do sound like common scam attempts, and we strongly advise users to avoid sharing bank details or accepting unusual courier arrangements.
We do our best to provide a safe platform, but we also rely on users to report anything concerning so we can take action.
We appreciate your feedback, though we feel a 2-star review may not fully reflect the steps taken to resolve the payment issue and the nature of risks that can come with any online marketplace.
If there’s anything further we can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.
To clarify, our website connects buyers with independent sellers, While we aim to provide a safe and reliable platform, we don’t control the actions or listings of individual sellers.
We do take concerns like this seriously and are always working to improve how we monitor listings and support our users. That said, we don’t feel a 1-star review fully reflects the nature of the situation, as we act as a marketplace rather than the seller of the item.
If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate the chance to look into this further and help resolve any outstanding concerns.

Absolute waste of time and money
Absolute waste of time and money! I received approximately 5 email enquiries all from Scammers offering to pay me by certified cheque and will not be using this platform in future! Also when I enquired to retrieve a previous advert which I placed 2 or 3 years ago on this website, I received a reply from Lisa at Guntrader telling me that the advert should be saved in my account. The advert clearly dropped off the system and this should have been retrieved for me. This website has clearly gone down hill since it has been taken over from the previous management.

Hi,
Thank you for your email, and I’m sorry to hear about your frustration with both the enquiries and the missing advert.
Unfortunately, scam attempts are an issue across many online marketplaces and are not unique to Guntrader. We actively work to identify and reduce this type of activity, but some still occasionally get through despite our safeguards.
Regarding your previous advert, listings created 2–3 years ago would have been stored on our old system. Since then, Guntrader has undergone a full website and platform update, and data from the previous system is not transferable or retrievable.
I’m sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

I advertised my shotgun as a hushpower but when i searched for it under that search word it didnt show. Edit: I have now changed this from 1 to a 4 star review. The customer service was excellent and dealt with the original problem really well and gave me another months advert. So although the advertising process could be clearer and easier the customer service is excellent.

As a relatively new RFD, Guntrader and its software is invaluable, it’s easy to use, stops anything being forgotten and keeps me compliant.
They are supportive, helpful and easy to deal with. And for the extra bit of money over a manual or excel system worth every penny

Thank you, Jonathon, for your feedback. The postcode lookup was temporarily unavailable due to a third-party provider ceasing operations. Once we secured a new supplier, we were able to restore this feature to the system. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
