Disappointing
The ad was very easy to post, and to remove, but I didn’t get many responses compared with the same ad on Gumtree. I don’t know why!

Thank you for your feedback, Sue.
It's great to hear you found your Freeads Pets advert easy to create and remove. The amount of interest an advert receives can naturally vary, but there are a few ways to help your pet stand out and reach even more prospective owners.
Adding up to three videos can really bring your advert to life, while Featured and Boost upgrades can give it greater visibility and move it back towards the top of the results. These are completely optional, but can make a real difference when you're looking for more enquiries.
Thank you for choosing Freeads Pets, and we hope we can deliver an even better result for you next time.

I found it really hard to find out…
I found it really hard to find out where to get the messages from. They seemed to be in my junk email and also on whats app. Also a link from Free ads in my inbox . I only discovered them in junk the day before I sold my animals.
It was all very confusing.
Apart from that it went well.
I did have time wasters but guess that's inevitable.

It’s impossible to contact most sellers these days without paying a fee only to find out the dog I was asking about was sold , seems a strange way to do business but makes them a lot of money

Thank you for your feedback.
VIP on Freeads Pets is designed to give committed pet lovers priority access to our newest pet adverts, while helping our lovely breeders and owners prioritise genuine enquiries when finding the right new home for their pets.
Our VIP membership si priced at less than 9p a day, giving VIP members priority access across Freeads Pets throughout their membership. Of course, popular pets can sometimes find their new homes very quickly, and this is ultimately the advertiser's decision rather than something Freeads Pets controls.
For us, VIP isn't simply about making contact – it's part of helping create a responsible community where pets can be rehomed ethically with wonderful new families.
