Yerdle

Overall, Yerdle is a terrible business and is probably a scam to steal your money. I recently made a purchase and attempted to cancel the transaction. I sent an email into Yerdle's customer service and received a reply back saying I needed to contact the seller first and make sure they are ok with canceling the transaction. I already made an attempt to message the seller and they have not replied to me which is why I contacted Yerdle's customer service. How is it possible that Yerdle cannot step in and provide help for their customers? Once this issue is resolved or over then I will delete and uninstall yerdle.

Yerdle offers a unique way to get rid of your unused, or unwanted items. You can literally give away about anything on yerdle. They offer a credit program where you exchange products for yerdle $s to buy things from other people you do need or want. They take the headache out of shipping as they have a set rate for shipping products, and you can even get multiple items from the same person by paying a small bundle fee instead of extra shipping. They also supply the shipping lable, you hust have to print it off. They are always holding contests, posting parties and other special promos to earn more yerdle $s and even free shipping credits. Its a great site and alot of fun.

Overall Yerdle has a decent trading platform. Cheapest possible shipping you will find for trading used items with only a small service fee and lots of opportunitues to earn Free Shipping credits. The more you give, the more you earn. My wife and I combined have given over 300 items in just a few months and have been able to find several useful things like an Apple Tv, Ipods, Samsung Phones, Several pairs of NEW Nike and Ugg Shoes. So for the few bucks you pay for shipping and the Yerdle reuse dollars you earn by getting rid of your unwanted stuff it is a great deal! Just be sure to use NOT expecting Free things, BUT it will be the cheapest method of shipping you will find anywhere, just be sure to read descriptions fully and use the bundling option to get the most for your $$$$

So my friend sent me a link for Yerdle. At first, you get very little info on the site. Until you dig a little. Then you find that there is no one "giving" you an item. These are all for sale. First the "Yerdle dollars" THEN the "service fee" and possibly a "premium item" fee. And, of course, shipping. I was so excited to see something online that i thought was a bartering site. And then totally let down to find out that the Pez Dispenser i had been eyeing (for 5 yerdle dollars) was actually going to be around $7 (+ 5 yerdle dollars). Not cool.

I often see people list items for insane prices. It's impossible to get popular items if you price the items you sell at 1 dollar = 1 yerdle (as you should). I highly regret selling my old Nintendo Dsi for 55 yerdles. In the Yerdle rules, you can increase a popular item by 10 yerdles or 30%. I bought it for $45 on Ebay and figured I would list it for 55 yerdles because dsi's are pretty popular. The buyer got it for 55 yerdles... that same person sold it for 1,000 yerdles that same day. I was really upset for a while and quit the site for some time. WAY too many greedy sellers! There is a yerdle pro who consistently sells her ununsed beauty and health products for +200 yerdles per item. Some sellers even go as far as to sell electronics for the highest amount of yerdles. Those people raving 5 stars about the site most likely do NOT go by the 1 dollar = 1 Yerdle. Otherwise, they would feel cheated. I bet they would never price their expensive items at per Yerdle's pricing rules.

Also, the $5 shipping + $2 fee ($3 if it's been on the site under 24 hours) sucks as well. $7 - $8 every order? No thanks. They tack on an extra $2 bundle fee if you want 2-4 items from one seller.

An online yard sale sounds like an awesome idea.

With today's economy, going frugal is becoming popular and yard sales are always a way to find oddities, novelties, and useless doodads. Everyone knows that when having a yard sale, one needs good stuff and to make sure it's all organized, plus one would hope to earn a profit, right? Sadly, Yerdle didn't get that memo struck out all three times.

If you want anything worthwhile, you're going to have to sort through piles of trash, have extremely low standards, or be an expert at restoration. I rarely find generic blank tees or jeans, let alone anything I'd really want. There is no gardening equipment, electronics are all wires or broken, toys wouldn't even be played with by pets, and speaking of pets, there's nothing to get them unless you want them to eat books.

Organization is just done by keywords, not combination, nothing. Looking for basic clothes will get you purses, jewelry, shoes, and knicknacks. Searching for anything more specific will get you tons of books, mostly on irrelevant subjects. You'd think toys, books, clothes, jewelry, shoes, gardening stuff, etc would all be sorted out so you can find and guy stuff easily. You'd think, so, but not those at yerdle.

Last, but not least, you can't make a profit. Seriously, you can pay with money, but the seller gets none of it. All you get are yerdle points, which can't be redeemed for anything, but the contents of Yerdle's trashcan. At least with ebay you can earn a few pennies for your old actions figures or prom shoes.
