Airsoft Hub Any Info On It ?

[Airsoft Dave]

Hi.

 

I registered on Airsoft Hub in Sept to have a look at what was for sale on the website.

 

So I spotted an item for sale, so I sent a message saying I am interested in buying it.

Got no reply, tried again a few days later, no reply, and again still no reply,

so I said I'll look elsewhere.

 

Spotted another item again contacted the seller; again no reply tried again nothing 

so I moved onto a third item; again the same as the first two. 

 

Yet people are adding items for sale (currently just under 7000), yet nothing seems to be sold ?

 

So my question is; has anyone used Airsoft Hub to buy an item and why is it SO hard to get anyone

to reply to a message about buying an item they have for sale ?

 

I even used their contact page and a few days later the websites email address to send a message 

to ask them to contact the sellers that someone was interested in buying something they had for sale;

I have heard nothing back.

 

How can a website say it's market place for items; yet no one replies when contacted about a possible sale ?

 

Any info / advice would be appreciated.

 

To me it seems ODD that people can add items for sale on the website, but a possible buyer cannot get a reply

from any seller about an item they have for sale; nor do the admin staff reply when asked for help ?

The site used to have an automatic email function that would alert people whenever they received a message and/or reply. This has been broken for more than a while now and I guess people are forgetting to check their messages.

 

Messaging the site owners does nothing - I've never received a reply either.

Yes the site is reliant upon the seller regularly logging in and checking his messages. The other issue with the site though is that it allows you to give feedback after messaging once, this had lead to what looks like petty negative feedback being left for people forgetting to check messages as well as a host of other ridiculous things. Of course the feedback could be warranted but I have seen a few examples where someone has reported an ad - this seems to inform the advertiser who reported it too - leading to a negative point vs negative point and with no real administration happening.

 

I use it, but carefully and I have had a successful buy on there.

 

Cheers

It's useless.

Had the same thing recently with multiple people, and no-one ever bothers to check their adverts.

 

Unless they put on a phone number or other way to contact them in their advert, don't even bother.

Airsoft hub, like used airsoft is also pretty prime Mack's ammo. Fairly sure @Galvatron isnt actually in the market for anything, they just like finding the juicist, most questionable sales posts.

 

im in a similar boat, i have tried to use it, got no reponse so i just left it alone.

I've tried it, it was shite, tbh most of the others aren't much better, even tried the WhatsApp groups recently, gave up & cancelled them too.

At least here, & even zin (when it's working), you message someone & get a response pretty quickly, & most members are able to articulate about what they're selling, not just textspeak & grunts lol.

🙈🙉🙊

The platform definitely needs some work. As said, it's painfully reliant on people checking in regularly because the notification system doesn't seem to work consistently. Some people have been forward thinking enough to leave their number to contact them directly.

Actually the first part isn't true. I do enquire about bargains and have bought from there as recently as within the last couple of weeks. I just happen to see a lot of questionable pricing that I would rather not see a newbie get mugged off by. 😁

It's hard to message when your knuckles are sore from being dragged along the floor all day long.
