Hi Warren, we’re sorry to hear that the inquiries you received appeared to be from scammers. We have systems in place to identify and block suspicious activity, but unfortunately, some attempts can still get through. If you still have any of the suspicious inquiries you received, please forward them to [email protected] so our team can investigate and take appropriate action. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you reporting the suspicious inquiry. Reports like yours help our team identify suspicious activity and continue working to keep Boat Trader a trusted marketplace for buyers and sellers. To clarify, reporting a scam does not trigger or extend a listing renewal. Boat Trader listings include auto-renewal as part of the terms agreed to when purchasing an ad. Sellers can turn off auto-renewal through their account at any time, and we send reminder emails ahead of a scheduled renewal. We would welcome the opportunity to review your account and discuss what happened. We’ve requested additional information through Trustpilot so we can locate your account and have those details available for our team. You can also contact our Customer Service team directly at 866-373-5602, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration, Dee. Boat Trader listings include auto-renewal as part of the terms agreed to when purchasing a listing ad. Sellers can turn off auto-renewal through their account at any time, and we also send reminder emails leading up to a scheduled renewal to provide an opportunity to make changes before the next charge. That said, we’d like to look into the specific circumstances you described, including your previous conversations with our Customer Service team and the refund you were told would be issued. We’ve requested additional information through Trustpilot so we can locate your account and review what happened. Please provide those details when you have a chance, and we’ll have a member of our team follow up directly.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. When selling a boat online, a week can be a relatively short window to gauge performance, and having a fully optimized listing from the start can make a difference. We also noticed your listing spent a few days up without boat photo. Quality photos, a detailed description, competitive pricing, and complete boat information all contribute to quick sales. We understand that cost and ease of use are important parts of the experience, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective on both as we are always looking to improve the experience for our users.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that cost is an important consideration, especially when a listing isn’t generating the level of interest you expected. There are several factors that can impact listing performance, including pricing, photos, description, and the amount of information included about the boat. Our Customer Service team is always available to review a listing and offer recommendations that may help improve its visibility and performance.
