We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
While we provide a platform to connect buyers and sellers, we cannot guarantee that every advert will result in enquiries or a sale. Interest can vary depending on factors such as market demand, pricing, location, and the specific firearm being advertised.
We appreciate that receiving no responses can be frustrating, and we always encourage sellers to ensure their adverts include clear descriptions, good quality photographs, and competitive pricing to help attract potential buyers.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Zero response to my ad.
Zero response to my ad for a car gun safe but I guess such ads are low down the pecking order. Must think of a different approach.
Otherwise Guntrader staff are very helpful.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your advert didn't generate the response you were hoping for.
While Guntrader provides access to one of the largest audiences of genuine firearms buyers in the UK, we can't guarantee that every advert will result in enquiries or a sale. Factors such as pricing, the type of firearm, condition, demand, photographs, and advert details all play a significant role. Some firearms sell within hours, while others naturally take longer to find the right buyer.
We understand your disappointment, but we don't feel a one-star review fairly reflects the service we provide or the fact that the outcome of a private sale depends on a number of variables beyond our control.
Feel free to call for assistance.

Overall a solid platform
Overall a solid platform and I'd recommend it. I managed to sell all my kit through Guntrader, which is exactly what I needed — for shifting firearms and shooting gear to a genuine market of buyers, it does the job well.
Two honest caveats. First, I encountered a few scam attempts early on, and Guntrader didn't really react when I flagged them — that was disappointing. They did tail off after a while, but I'd have liked to see a more active response. Second, it isn't cheap, and that stings a bit more when listings can take a few months to sell, so you're effectively paying out over a longer period before anything moves.
Would I use it again? Yes — it works and the buyer base is there. Just go in knowing it's a slower, pricier route than you might expect, and stay alert to dodgy enquiries in the early days.

Thank you for your review and for choosing Guntrader to sell your kit. We're pleased to hear that you successfully sold everything and found the platform effective in reaching genuine buyers.
We appreciate your feedback regarding scam reports and listing costs. User safety is extremely important to us, and we're always looking at ways to improve how we handle and respond to suspicious activity.
Regarding sale times, this can vary significantly depending on factors such as the type of firearm, pricing, condition, demand, and the information provided in the advert. While some items can take longer to find the right buyer, many firearms and shooting accessories sell within hours or days of being listed.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. We look forward to helping you buy and sell again in the future.

We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
Having reviewed your account, we can see that your adverts received significant exposure, generating over 700 and 900 views respectively. Our advertising fees are based on the value of the item being sold and are designed to remain competitive and affordable for sellers.
While we appreciate that not every advert results in an immediate sale, we don't feel it is fair to describe the service as a "con." We facilitate thousands of successful sales, and a variety of factors can influence buyer interest, including pricing, market demand, item condition, and the information provided in the advert.
We're always happy to offer advice on improving an advert's performance and wish you every success with your sale.
