Don’t buy pets here
The seller that I bought a puppy from told us an absolute pack of lies. As there is no review process, I would caution anyone looking to buy a pet never to use this site. It’s a charlatan's paradise.

There are things that are slow…ads going live!
There are things that are slow at Preloved ie: time it takes for ads to go live from new and changes to text in ads you wish to up date.
However my experience of service from a lady called 'Holly', has always been really good and if l were ever to go back in to business(heaven forbid at my age) l would like to have her on my team. Thank you Holly.
What more can l say other than the property pages are not seeing the same amounts of ads as some 6+ years ago. However, this is not a fault of Preloved, it is how the market changed over the years due to covid, Rus/UA war and other economic situations.
Hope this is helpful to you.

Great customer help
I didn't realise I still had a subscription. I asked them to refund me as I don't use the website. They did so straight away. Excellent customer service. I was very surprised after lots of negative experiences with other online businesses recently.

Be very careful if buying a pet
Be very careful if buying a pet on Preloved as you might find a lack of care once you have bought it.
I bought a kitten there and was very careful as it is clear that any scally could be offering them for sale.
After a while I got in touch with the seller as I was worried about my cat's health and asked her if any of her cats/kittens had the same symptoms. In spite of reminders, she failed to reply. Preloved claimed to have requested her to contact me but she still failed to do so. I even got in touch with their parent company The Hut Group (THG) and then Preloved claimed to escalate the request but still nothing.
I then found that those selling animals do not have to sign any declaration. All they have to do is to agree to Preloved's Ts & Cs, whatever those are. I have also asked numerous times for a copy of these and still nothing.
To me this demonstrates a total lack of care shown towards animals advertised on their website and I would urge others to look elsewhere. After all, the responsibility towards a pet does not stop when money has changed hands but is ongoing and enshrined in the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
