makes me re register every time 6+ times now.

Now i just get error trying to register, no matter what I try.

Beyond useless website

STAY AWAY!!! Involved with email fraud/scam. Will get 20-30 emails a day for a password reset and fake links. SERIOUSLY, STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!!!

I quit being a Freecycle member after they without notice or explanation deleted two of my posts for free firewood. Lots of people locally including me need and use significant amounts of firewood in the colder months.

Attempted to post a giveaway more than 24 hours ago, still waiting for an invisible moderator to approve it. Have been a 'member' for 8 years, first time this has happened. Not only 'not yet approved' but 2 messages to the moderator achieve a zero response. I recently moved to sleepy Windsor UK, so I guess that is the norm here. Using 'freegle' gives an instant result. Will quit freecycle.org by the end of today.

Local groups lack moderation, the website is clunky and poorly designed, some functions are broken, worst of all, reporting function is broken. I guess it doesn't matter, since there's no one to review the reports.

I thought i was doing a good thing! £450 bed, slept on 3 times, for free! All i got was abuse!

For me the company could improve their log in system. After following advise from an operative, I still cannot log in after changing my password. Therefore, sadly I cannot inform the 3 people who contacted me about my folding desk that it has been taken. I have given up trying.

5 stars for the nice people who have asked politely for an item ( “ I’ll have that” isn’t going to get a look in)
People who have helped me when I’ve needed stuff, or even needed to just borrow weird sized spanner’s for an hour or two.
And nice people who’ve turned up when they say they will.
Zero stars to the grabby, entitled people who say they want something then can’t be bothered turning up, including the person who couldn’t collect plants until the next day so told me ( not asked) to put them in the shade and water them……and then didn’t bother collecting.
The site works well, it’s the idiots and selfish people who detract from it.

I signed-up for Freecycle in order to responsibly get rid of an old (but still good) desk. I had one person interested in it, but we got as far as arranging a collection time when they told me they had "picked one up just this morning".
While I was on there I attempted to help out other people, only to discover that they either had not updated their original 'Wanted' post, or were otherwise wasting my time.
One chap wanted a "Mini-PC or Laptop". I replied saying I had a Mini-PC but he said he would prefer a laptop, so I dug out an old laptop for him and replied again, only for him to say that he had just picked up a Mini-PC...
I have now deleted my account and will not be returning.

I’ve received about 20 password resets with user’s info in the past 2 weeks. I’m not a member of this site and I’ve never heard of it prior. I emailed their support but they said it’s spoof account however the emails come directly from their domain, no_reply@ the domain. I would not give this website any personal info.

Stopped receiving Emails about a week ago. Unable to log in to my account, username or password incorrect. I have made numerous attampts to get a password reset Email and not received any. I have tried in Chrome, Edge and on android. nothing works.

They have deep IT problems. I get dozens of password reset links in my email with other people's email addresses on. If I try to reset my password to sign on to contact them, I never get the link. They possibly have big security flaws, avoid.

I cannot even log in to Freecycle now without cloudfare trying to confirm that I am human. What is going on here????

Really wanted to give away a good quality mattress rather than taking it to the tip. Sat there for over 2 days ‘awaiting approval’ and now our storage unit lease is coming to an end and I’ll have to bin it.
Wish I’d gone elsewhere to give this away and prevent waste.

Yet again I have a post awaiting moderation.
Unlike freecycle, I am trying to save the planet.
The last time that this happened I eventually took the item to the council tip!
This time, the description says..
A little used Humax Youview / freeview recorder that was kept in our caravan. It does not power up properly and I suspect is in need of 1 or more capacitors to be replaced....

What is wrong with this??

Useless. Listed item and it never got past moderated.

Tried to post an item for free 3 days ago and was scammed as a different window opened when I had entered my credit card details... I tried to go back but too late money was nearly taken out of my account, luckily my CC company was on the ball, obviously Freecycle is not!!! This is a security risk. Unlikely whether I'll try again Freecycle must sort out its security. That is not acceptable.

Tried to register and was conned on the page to give card details and now taking £59.99 out of my account. MSCLBILL.COM
STAY AWAY

So far, so good! Listed a few items that I wanted to get rid of yesterday and it was all taken away today!

Environmentally friendly way of decluttering. I will recommend the site to all my friends and family.

Nobody ever replies to messages after posting stuff. Great idea but complete waste of my time.
