Freeads no longer selling knives, swords air rifles

[PHILL BROOKS]

i'm quite gutted because i did repairs and restorations on the freeads and now my page has gone,although yes freeads was full of dishonest sellers i met some great customers and lots of other very nice and honest sellers,
shame as i will have to use gunstar or guntrader just to offer my services again.

Sorry to hear , I often browsed on there and have met some good people but I also know of some who wait or catch others who fall on hard times and sell on for big profit.

Wonder what the "Rqms" or whatever his name was is going to do with his collection now.....

[bcham]

Any idea if this is temporary, and why have they stopped the sales of airguns, i use the site regular.

[angrybear]

No looks like it's a change to their policy, nothing "weapon" related allowed, even genuine antiques.

Point 9, so as long as it's not offensive then you can crack on.

Shame, I found a couple of decent air rifles on there recently.
It was ok for dealing with shops or face to face.

Maybes this is what we need to do to them all od use tell them to delete our accounts on there!!

[Troubledshooter]

Unfortunately, I would think the percentage of advertisers offering the items now banned would have been miniscule compared to the overall offerings, and even though no company wants to loose advertisers, hence the £25 upgrade offering, they are not going to loose much sleep, if any, over those telling them where to stuff it.

[batman76]

I messaged them as a2 days before I had paid £25 to join as a premium member for the year and had 10 free credits to use to make the adverts come near the top of the pages and they cancelled all of them I emailed them and they have said they are refunding me but also given me a years free membership and 10 free credit to put the adds at the top so I will have to advertise some funny things and waste all the credits and then delete my account once there finished.

[Mr wobble]

Cancelled my membership.
It'll make bugger all difference to them but it made me feel better.
