Despite the fact that this website has not been working for many months, it has recently been launched again and it works perfectly, I have been able to carry out transactions on it without any problem and with total ease.

We are experiencing staffing issues forever inspite of Covid-19
We are experiencing staffing issues due to Covid-19 and have had to temporarily restrict the purchase of vouchers on the site. We apologies for the inconvenience.
Dear Seller: Please list contact details in your listing

Useless
What is the point of this website if I can not bid on any offer due to “We are experiencing staffing issues due to Covid-19 and have had to temporarily restrict the purchase of vouchers on the site. We apologies for the inconvenience”?? And this since years now.. absolutely annoying.

Hardly anyone on the site viewing…
Hardly anyone on the site viewing offers. Waste of time, and then they spam your e mail address with no unsubscribe option. I suspect it is purely harvesting contact details.
Further to the strange comment from Sparefare below, this was long after covid closedown and long after flights restarted, 2023 ! Your website was operational. It took my details and listed my offer, so closed down isn't really how I describe it.
UPDATE...today, 6 months later, Sparefare are trying to get my review deleted by asking Trustpilot to seek verification...why didn't they ask for details at the time ? A clear attempt to clean out poor reviews. Hard luck Sparefare, I kept my reference details.
I revisited the site and it now says my holiday has been sold and is being enjoyed by someone else ! This is simply a downright lie. It did not sell and I lost a lot of money because I relied on Sparefare as a route to sell. I had to sell because of a family crisis, and Sparefare let me down badly. Never again.

Many thanks

Waste of time
Just spent ages looking into putting some flights on the website to sell and then looked at these reviews. As lots of others have said, even live flights on the page can't be bid on as "We are experiencing staffing issues due to Covid-19 and have had to temporarily restrict the purchase of vouchers on the site. We apologies for the inconvenience."
This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I am guessing it is a scam. As someone else said, I lost nothing but it was a complete waste of my time.

Website not working
I placed a flight but looking at the reviews here, the site isn't working to buy anyway. I now want to buy a flight on there and again... not working :(
The button to place a bid is just missing.

If it looks too good to be true...
Well it looks a site full of wonderful offers that would effectively allow half price air travel. Of course it doesn't work. The ubiquitous excuse of dodgy, badly run businesses "We are experiencing staffing issues due to Covid-19 and have had to temporarily restrict the purchase of vouchers on the site. We apologies for the inconvenience." I didnt lose anything but resent my time being wasted in this way

"We are experiencing staffing issues…
"We are experiencing staffing issues due to Covid-19 and have had to temporarily restrict the purchase of vouchers on the site. We apologies for the inconvenience." and have been for more than a year. After trying to use the company and writing a review encouraging them to get the purchasing part of the Airline tickets up and running I think what they have going is some sort of we will sell for you at best available price....yet no one can purchase, bid ect. So they themselves or some third party has exclusive access to lots of folks trying to sell at deep discount. So they can just wait it out until near expiration and bid low, as in only bid, or if its offered low buy it right away.
It does seem poor folks are posting stuff unaware that if they stay with this site it's only going to be sold at bargin bin prices or not at all. I know airlines are A**holes and all threating to keep folks from transfering/selling their vouchers but this is not the answer. Go ahead and put it on ebay or craigslist ect Cause the helpful facade this website has is a joke due to scamming or maybe just gross incompetence.

No payout - one year later!
Sold two pairs of tickets via the site in Summer 2020. Still no sign of the money, no response from support. It's been a year since I sold my tickets (total over £300) and not received a penny. Total fraud.
Awesome service, reliable!
It is my third time using the site, has been awesome! Only good things to say! A++++ will be back again soon!
