Just tried to list a bike on there. Seems impossible to get it to understand the price I'm entering. 1500 is coming up in reverse and then randomly changing to any of 1, 15, 50, 51 or 1345. None of which are what I typed.

Photos took ages to load when I'd just loaded them elsewhere in seconds.

Then I get a email saying the ad has been declined, no specific reason given. So I go to look and it's vanished. Nothing for me to change or fix, it's just been expunged from existence.

Anyone use them? Is it worth trying again?

I bought a bike there, very good experience. Never listed though.

Have you maybe got your browser translating the site?  That's the sort of behaviour I get on sites if I have it translated to English rather than using the original language

Same thing happening with a different browser. It's the UK website, in English to begin with as far as I see.

I've tried again and it's not been rejected this time. But it's decided to randomly reorder the photos and convert the price from euros to pounds. Apparently it won't accept anything other than euros. That must be where the £1345 came from last time. No idea about the other figures.

It appears to mess the price up while typing. Pasting works as it doesn't get a chance to change anything.

Sounds like it was built by the STW development team! Haha....just a joke, honest! 😉
