Thank you for your review.
On checking your account, we can see that you placed an advert and then closed it quickly, this may have been an accidental action. When you logged in and reactivated the advert, it was reviewed and made active again.
We are happy you managed to find forever homes for your lovely kittens.
Everything went smoothly!

Quite a con
This company will take your money for membership then lock you out.
I paid today as I could only access an ad phone number by apparently paying £7.99 for membership. I paid, have the record of my bank transaction but I’m still asked to pay, when I try to receive the number. Nó way of contacting them, so they presumably hope you get fed up and let them keep your money. I will be contacting a return from my bank. Don’t use this company. They are not good.
As there is no way to contact you on Trustpilot as you suggested, I will write here. My email is frs1.ltd@gmail . Com
and you have replied to my ticket through your website either a response that has nothing to do with my request.

I replied to an advert for buying a puppy, I received an email saying my request was in a queue or I could pay £7.99 for a faster service! Or I would have to wait up to 24 hours for a response, it has now been over 48 hours and I have had no response from the seller, not impressed.

Thank you for your feedback.
We're unable to verify the circumstances described in your review as no account details have been provided for us to investigate.
Freeads does not charge members to receive a response from a seller. Our optional VIP membership provides additional features, including priority access to newly listed adverts, but it does not influence whether or when a seller chooses to reply.
If you'd like us to investigate your experience, please provide your account details via Trustpilot or contact our support team directly. We'd be happy to review the matter for you.

Thank you for your review.
We're pleased to hear your advert attracted plenty of interest. While a high number of views doesn't always result in enquiries, every pet, price point and location is different, and buyers often compare several adverts before getting in touch.
We appreciate you choosing Freeads and wish you every success in finding the perfect forever home.

I have bad experience because as a first time user, I cannot place an ad. It disappears seconds after posting and does not reflect for pending under my ad
