Customer Service
I submitted an ad which seems to stuck at waiting for approval for quite a few hours.
I contacted customer services to advise that my ad is still waiting approval.
I received an email back from Sally at customer services who apologised for the delay and approved the ad immediately.
Many thanks Sally for your help to resolve the issue.

This used to be the first site I went to if I wanted to buy or find a home for a dog. It only cost a fiver per yr and was worth every penny. I just went to the site to look for a dog as my 13yr old has died and it was impossible to read the ads because of pop up ads designed to make me click on them by accident made it impossible. I wont be using this site any more

ABYSMAL USELESS SITE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE ABOMINATION THIS SITE HAS BECOME. IT IS FULL OF ADVERTS NOW COVERING THE CONTENT OF EVERY OTHER PRIVATE ADVERT, AND THE POP-UP MINI ADVERTS WITH THE WOKE COLOURED KNEES ARE SICKENING. THERE IS NO UPDATE BUTTON AVAILABLE TO REFINE SEARCHES. ONE CANNOT SEE THE PRIVATE ADVERTS DUE TO THE ADVERTISING ADVERTS CONSTANTLY COVERING THE CONTENT. I GOT RID OF THE APP A LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE WHAT'S FOR SALE, DUE TO MULTIPLE ADVERTS COVERING THE CONTENT. THIS SITE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AWFUL, BUT GOT FAR WORSE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

Preloved is in theory a good website
Preloved is in theory a good website, but I don't think it has a lot of traffic, as in it isn't as popular as something like Facebook, or Ebay. Like everything online these days, you have to be aware of scammers. I have had a couple of experiences with that, and the customer service at Preloved have been quite to respond to say they'll investigate. I'm yet to see the outcome of this, as in one circumstance I have been contacted by the same scammer.

Taken my money for a membership I did cancel years ago
I used this website 3 years ago then I told them I wanted to cancel my membership. They now charge me for full membership and I can't even log in as I do not receive the reset password link on my email. Email is the same, nothing in spam etc. I sent them an email but no one ever replied. I have notified my bank but I'm expecting a full refund.
To Stephen: I did send an email to you as no contact number is being provided and I received NO response. This is a security concern because you can't locate my account, you didn't receive my email or didn't reply but you still have retained my bank account details. You have taken money for a membership on 9th Dec according to my bank statement. Why don't you provide a phone number? How do I get a refund if no one contact me?
12/12/24 I have send the third email now, no reply. How come you can't find my account but have taken my money. Your account department needs to sort this out. Please refrain from sending a link that I can find myself on line and propose a real solution.
