Shpock: Buy & Sell Marketplace Reviews

I have been searching all over this app’s help pages and if they give information, it’s usually either outdated or not true. I am selling an item and neither me nor the buyer can see any way to process payment, nor can I find ANY option to contact customer support except through a third party company that takes 7-10 days to respond. So far my issues are: buyer cannot see how to pay, help page does not assist in starting a payment, only says to add card, the site says PayPal can be linked, but neither the buyer nor I can find that option, support page says there is a contact link, but there is none I can find, and Shpock interrupts and reload EVERY time I get a message, deleting any response I’ve been working on. Just use OfferUp or letgo, neither of them are perfect but at least you can reach someone when you have issues.

EDIT: FINALLY after a year I get a response! What a joke! Do NOT use this company!

Buyer AND Seller BE AWARE! I have recently started selling stuff on this site and I came across this buyer who said they would like me to ship the item to their address in Ireland. They told me they would give me an extra $200 to ship it. They said they wanted me to ship the item before they paid just to make sure I wasn’t scamming. And I did, and I got scammed. Right after I told her I shipped the item and gave her the tracking number, she stopped talking to me. I have contacted this app and am waiting for a reply. I knew about some sellers being scammers but I would have never expected that from a buyer. Now I have no money and no phone to sell. I am very upset 😡.

I have purchased several things from this app. I cannot recommend Shpock. In fact I recommend you stay away. I was scammed out of 600 pounds and after reporting it this app didn’t respond for days. When they did days later they told me the transaction was fraudulent. Really?!!! I had already told them. I then followed the scammer and they are still posting on this app. The company refuses to check IP address and do anything. They have an obligation to protect customers but instead they protect the criminals. Run from this app.

If you get scammed or experience any kind of fraud and report it to Shpock they won’t do anything nor will they block the person from making a new (fake) account after you’ve blocked them from using your app because you don’t have a system to check ipAddress's to check if this person making a new account with you has been banned previous and are trying to get around the rules! Terrible 'company' who is also extremely slow to even reply to your help request.
Ø.Ø Stars.

So awesome. The process is so easy to buy and you have much more security with this system. I love how it has international coverage and it automatically pulls from the entire database worldwide. You can always find what you want/need without searching 500&1 different areas.

Spams you with notification ads every day even if you turn off all notifications except those for when people bid on your postings. Keep away if you want to keep your sanity.

Update: lol, developer replied and tried telling me how to set notification settings. I have already turned them off. It didn’t help. That’s why you’re now getting 1 star. My settings are set to ONLY notify me on bids or comments on my items, yet I get spam at least weekly begging me to post more items to sell.

Worst app I’ve every downloaded. If I could give it zero stars I would put it, but it’s not an option. Super super sketchy app and people. When I put up items for sale, many people say they are interested and to contact them through email and when I do they all respond with exactly the same message about sending them my address so that they can send me the money by mail. I would honestly recommend any selling app, but not this one.

This appears to be a great selling site, if only I could figure out how to reply to a potential customer. There is nothing under the News tab that allows me to see their comment or allow me to respond. Their response only shows on my email account, which brings me to another issue...As with other app selling sites there are scammers. I am certain this person is because they left a foreign number wanting me to call them directly...Not happening! Hope this app fixes these problems.

I really enjoy how easy and fast I can sell my stuff on this app. The process of putting an item online is super clean. Not as successful as eBay from a seller’s point of view, yet, but maybe this app gets there...

Horrible to shop ! They allow to sell fake items and people who try to scam you ! They restricted my account because I didn’t sent back in time a fake bag !!! They toke a fee just to send the bag back and i had to pay myself for the dispatch!! Waste of time and money !! I do not recommend Shpock and i will definitely delete it!

this app has always been so freaking annoying to use. It is incredibly difficult to edit or even delete your ad sometimes because the options are simply not displayed. In Shpock and website you are very limited to what you can do.

I tried to sell some stuff on here but everyone that messaged me was trying to scam me. So I deleted it. A few days later I get an email saying I sold an item to one of the people that tried to scam me. Which I didn’t so obviously your information isn’t safe here I recommend let go or something else.

It’s a really nice app, very helpful
I am gonna upload some new items to give away to others later

Have had about three transactions on here and i met great people to do business with

Very easy to use. It would be nice if we could filter sold items while search.

Thanks this app team!!

What a waste of time. I had 22 offers and purchases. Not one person ever paid. I was harassed and lied to constantly by buyers. Nothing was was done about people never paying. Never again! Don’t bother. There is to many much better places to sell like Mercari.

Shpock is easy to use, looks really clean and all but there are so many scams. People keep making offers but refuse to keep the chat on the sight. Sometimes I can’t even tell if they are users or not, very inconvenient.

Better choices

Last comment says it has a bunch of security but there isn’t even any safe way to make transaction? People can still get scam off this even using PayPal. Offer up is safer but it’s full of scammers. Will make a couple purchases to see is this good. 3 stars for now!

Easy way to buy/sell.

I selected that I am not interested in notifications about news and discounts. And I still get them. How hard is it to just leave people alone and let them use Shpock for what it’s designed for these days? Uninstalled.

Spent 20 minutes trying to set up profile and gave up. App wants far too much personal information. Wasn't able to complete profile so couldn't limit the search area. Very poor design. Will delete Shpock now.

I upload an item and the item ain’t even uploaded, it made me wait several weeks thinking my item will be sold when No one can see it. Bruh. It’s a waste of time. Go eBay. Way better than this junk
