“Unsafe place. No trust.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 12/05/2017

It is not a safe place. There is a guy that sublets illegally his house. He put an ad and I reported and explained the situation. The girl staff said " "We can not and will not get involved with this dispute, As it has nothing to do with the advert, as already stated unless we are contacted by Police, trading standards or the owner of the property we have no reason to remove the advert based on the information you have provided". She didn't ever bothered in asking a proof of property. It was unprofessional and unsafe place. I wouldn't trust in and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody". Of course, I am not going to go to the police. It is a long and hard process. Just to let them know. Furthermore, I sent them a link where they could check that the advertiser is a problematic guy with too many convistions with the justice. Despite of that, they didn't worry about that. The same guy advertised before on Spare room and when I reported him then the moderators asked him to the guy for any proof of the property. When he couldn't provide it, then this ad was no live as it is no safe. In Friday ad they don't do that. I deactivated my account

“DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS WEBSITE. Friday ad was aware...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Boy's Namet36 on 14/10/2016

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS WEBSITE. Friday ad was aware that I was in contact with a potential criminal and they did not bother to inform me! As a result, I lost a lot of money. Then, they said they have removed and banned the user which was a complete lie because the user was advertising something else on their website!! It's an absolute disgrace!

“I in on the seach for a particular vehicle, there...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by MiahHampton on 04/09/2016

I in on the seach for a particular vehicle, there appears to be lot listed, but at lower than expected prices ans without telephone contact numbers only emails which you can't see. I have also had identical replies from two 'seperate' sellers and vehicles . . . Ummm! Beware when using this site to find what youre after - especially when its cheaper than you would expect. Don't be handing over money before speaking and checking the goods and the 'seller'.

“Dont use any more”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Elliot75 on 06/10/2015

Friday Ad changed their page layout recently and I find it awful. I think its what is referred to as optimised for tablets and its rubbish. Does not work well and a lot of the functionality I used to use it for does not seem to work. For example the ways I have searched using multiple words no longer work and bring up results with every word. Gumtree has for the first time taken over as my preferred choice. And the ap was so bad I deleted it.

“I have had many responses to a Variety of...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by CierraDobson on 17/07/2014

I have had many responses to a Variety of adverts. Waste of time. Have removed all my adverts now. Gumtree and Preloved seem to stop this happening on their sites. It is no good having a site that is easy to use, when the security of replies is so low.

they are a complete waste of time. using a brand new pc used only by me. registered. all detalils etc posted ad, they told me when active would send to an address not mine so have been trying to sort it ever since, registred 4 times, after 2 pasted a correct ad, my details correct, then they were going to post to a email address which is wrong, something left off lit. for the past 30 hours or more i have been trying to sort out with them to correct it, the suport time are completel idiots, i have told them how to do it. but no so simple just use the correct details, stop leaving ad awaiting approval. never come across such a badley run firm. this is the portsmouth branch of the paper

It depends partly on what you're selling, how you present it, and if you're using a privacy number, because if the latter then people will not take the risk of paying 37.5p for a call that isn't even answered

“Friday Ad - Frustrating as a buying and selling tool.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 19/11/2013

The Friday Ad site after all these years remains the slowest classified site of all. It is so agonisingly slow, and freezes up so often, that patience soon runs out to continue. It has always been like this and has very sadly shown no improvement. Placing adverts is as frustrating as viewing. It tries to configure your advert instead of letting you just write your own considered and suitable words and it does its re-configuring very badly. The resulting advert is an embarrassing mess which seems virtually impossible to correct and make presentable. Other sites I use do not have any of these problems and it is a shame for the fabulous profile and distribution of the Friday-Ad that this important element lets itself down so severely. I wonder if the problem is that the application is trying to be too clever - maybe remove some of the intended cleverness would help. Sigh.

“advert re- fishing gear”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 09/10/2013

the ad was made useless because somehow too managed to put in the wrong phone number and only the basic ad was shown no description of the goods for sale at all. needless to say I wont use Friday again or even call at the news agents for an issue

“Friday-Ad”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Annoyed-wizard on 27/07/2013

Sorry folks, unfortunately I cannot agree with any of the good comments below and can obviously only comment on my own personal experience but here goes...... even managing ads yourself were given a very, very poor time response. From insertion to placing ad/just a miniscule amendment etc took a number of days a) to go live and then b) to make a price reduction. Status stayed at a lengthy "awaiting approval", plus, it's not as "free" as they would like you to believe ! Would I recommend? Sorry but certainly Not - especially if you actually want to sell the item!!

don't use privacy numbers. People don't want to pay for them so you get less calls

Maybe you were using a privacy number. Nobody wants to risk paying 37.5p for a call that may not even be answered. Avoid privacy numbers

“E-MAILED INFORMATION WHICH I RECEIVED WAS INCORRECT”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 11/03/2013

i have contacted customer services several times concerning an issue which i asked for help with.... as i have over 21 items for sale AND I receive e-mails from your web-site concerning renewing/re-posting them....... I have requested instructions and information concerning how to renew/re-post all of the ads at the same time?.... I have gone to 'manage my ads' and 'selected all', however, there is not a link whereby i can re-post/renew my ads without adding the 'flashing'/'blinking' extras which I do NOT want added!... All I want is to be able to 'select' all of my ads (which I have done)and to click on a click whereby they are all renewed/re-posted.......?... I think that my requests have been fairly easily explained, however, the information which I received in the replies gave no indication as to how I can achieve this!!!!!!

“Very poor website.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by bigben12345 on 04/12/2012

Adverts dont upload properly. Website never works properly. I payed for one ad and it did not upload . Spoke to customer service and seh said she would issue a refund . Took me a long time to get refund so was dissapointed with customer service. I use free ads but things would seriously need to change for me to start paying for ads on here.

Asked by Aalto on 20th May 2014 Report this content
I am looking for a house via Friday Ad. Is it normal for all the landlords to reply in the same way? When I send the message showing my interest they all reply the same (asking information about me, which I already gave) and then they all ask for me to take any kind of financial commitment. I would understand if it was just one! But isn't it a little bit suspicious that they all reply the same type of text and in one case three different people had same lawyer.
