SCAMMERS

I was in the middle of a purchase when Shpock randomly restricted my account, Having reached out to their customer service team via Zendesk; They simply kept closing my query as solved without so much as a reply, No email, No reply, Nothing. To this day I have no idea why my account was restricted.

I told them I wouldn't stop reopening my query until I was told why it was restricted and or what rule was broken - Shpocks reply ? Delete my Zendesk account entirely too!,

That's their solution; Restrict our Shpock account, And if we query why at their Zendesk support side; They delete our account there too!.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. NOTHING MORE THAN SCAMMERS!.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BUY ANY SUBSCRIPTION WITH THESE AS THEY WILL DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND RUN!.

Do not sell here, you lose money

Shpock replied to my previous review that was about how the buyer was provided refund without confirming that the returned order has reached the seller. There was not even valid tracking number provided by the buyer. Here is the shpock response: “ Hello Lony,
We understand your frustration with this situation. When a return parcel's tracking information shows it as delivered, a refund is automatically issued to the buyer. In some cases, a parcel may have been left with a neighbor or in a secure location.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@….
Kind regards, your Shpock team”

To let you know, parcel never arrived anywhere, there was not even any info where it is or valid tracking details. Do you think I will ask all the road if my parcel has been delivered at their house when i do not even have any proof of delivery to track. Contacting your customer team is bllshit, not even they barely respond but is useless.

*update - as you can see their response about any questions I have. That is irrelevant. They just messing about.

Pure Greed

I remember using Shpock many months ago. Sold a few items to start with, but then noticed more and more scammers on the site.
With the introduction of the Shpock Wallet, even more scammers who played the system by purchasing and then stating the item wasn't as described, or damaged etc. I hence reduced my use of Shpock, and did not accept Shpock Wallet payments whatsoever.

Now I just logged into my account to give it another try and notice I need to purchase a monthly membership? I know it's only 99p, but still. It's not as though they have a huge footprint like eBay that they feed they can charge sellers to advertise - not even eBay do that any more.

Hence that's the last straw for me. I have deleted the app, and will be looking to request deletion of my account and all my details.

It's fraudulent to lie within service & I will report to respective authorities. Use Vinted instead, they don't scam, or hold your money on 3rd provider for 30 days claiming 'Partner/Protection'.

Now just for resellers

Shpock was originally meant for locals to sell unwanted items and find genuine bargains. Now it feels more geared towards resellers. Introducing a monthly fee just to sell a few bits after a clear-out goes against what the site was designed for. Instead of everyday people selling at fair prices, it’s turning into the same sellers posting over and over.

Nice Lady I do most through ebay I have used spoke for many years but there are certain buys that I go to shpock, the checkout is strange. PayPal seems to be the way to go. I qualfied this with shpock, quick and sysinct reply. Great deal, the lady had a problem with pricing delivery, and made a mistake, she did not use online royal mail, but went to the counter, mistake 😳 I made up difference. The last time I used them I got ripped off. Shpock refunded me, the price was way to cheap. So it's a good company but all sorts can happen with communication. A rustic experience, but fun. Ebay is very slick. Great deal, always felt safe. Recommend it 👌 but it's a little different, Thanks again shpock, happy trading!!!

Waste of time!

I'd give it zero stars if I could. Advertised something for £45, got 9 offers, all of them timewasters. People make offers on this site, you accept the offer and then they just ghost you. It happened to me about 8 times. Finally someone bought it for £20, then started messaging me asking for a refund because they didn't like it. Then they wanted me to come and collect it!! It's more effort than it's worth, I won't bother using it again.

Gone completely down hill and is…

Gone completely down hill and is useless to use, it’s started charging to advertise, and all you get is buyers making silly bids, then if you agree a sale they say they will buy the item, then you ask them when they want to collect, do not turn up then you try to contact them with no response, it’s happened to me 9 times out of the last 10 sales I have tried to make, I then report the users to shpock to try to get there account closed for lying and being dishonest, but all they say is they are dealing with it, useless, I also have said that I do not like giving out my address to these people as in this day and age they could be up to no good, it needs to be closed down or a total revamp of how you buy and sell with it

The Trustpilot Experience

Anyone can write a Trustpilot review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they’ll be displayed as long as an account is active.

Companies can ask for reviews via automatic invitations. Labeled Verified, they’re about genuine experiences.

Here are 8 tips for writing great reviews.

Verification can help ensure real people are writing the reviews you read on Trustpilot.

Offering incentives for reviews or asking for them selectively can bias the TrustScore, which goes against our guidelines.
