Armslist Cannot send or receive messages

My personal premium account payment was automatically withdrawn on December 22 as it does every month. However this time I am not able to make any kind of contact with sellers. I have also not received any contact back since December 20. I paid for a service that I cannot use. This has caused me to miss multiple deals that I wanted to purchase. I guess it's nearly impossible to contact arms list to resolve this in a timely manner. And don't even think you're going to pick up a phone and talk to a real person. Pissed in Alabama

Desired outcome: Being able to use services I paid for

Is Armslist Legit?

Armslist earns a trustworthiness rating of 81%

Highly reliable. Use their services with confidence, yet trust but verify.

Our conclusion: ComplaintsBoard rates Armslist highly, which means their services are pretty reliable. Despite this, their 0% complaint resolution rate raises questions. We recommend users check reviews and complaints about Armslist to understand what to expect from them.

Armslist.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

We looked up Armslist and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • Armslist's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. The support team lacks customer service skills, training, and resources, resulting in only 0% of 0 complaints being resolved.
  • There was some difficulty in evaluating or examining the information or data present on the armslist.com. This could be due to technical issues, limited access, or website may be temporarily down for maintenance or experiencing technical difficulties.
  • Armslist protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
  • The registrar associated with Armslist has been found to be used by several spammers and scammers, which could indicate a potential threat to users.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Armslist. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Armslist Armslist messaging system

Not Only does Armslist charge 6.99 a month but now they have eliminated everyones Emails as a Contact. They set up there own Direct messaging system via the Website once you've log into your account.So when you wonder why you receive No responses for your listings Via your Email You guessed it Armslist blocks them & Routes them too there Direct messaging system. Unless you sign into your account & go too top of page under Armslist Direct messaging you'll never know anyone was interested . But When using there Messaging system too respond the other person has no ideal either because Armslist stopped all Email between individuals . Seems like a Great Gig for Armslist basically hiding Listings & charge another 6.99.And it gets better all messaging between individuals regardless of Old or New can NOT be deleted.So basically you have 0 control over a account you Pay for with Armslist purposely hiding listings for profit. So remember When you respond too a listing that individual never receives it Via his or Her Email, they can only see your responses after signing in too there Armslist account & go too Armslist Direct messaging & If they do the other person has no ideal either unless looking @ Their own Armslist account under Armslist direct messaging. We all started our Armslist accounts using our Personal Emails for a reason to be notifed about are listings !I'm also curious now that Armslist direct messaging is in total control of all messages who are they sharing with especially When you Can't Delete Old or New messages? My suggestion is leave a cryptic Phone number Letters & Numbers to be contacted by individuals for listings . Please spread the Word Armslist is a Scam itself Now 6.99 a month to hide listings :(

Armslist Account/Customer Service

I've been a member for years and always loved the service. I wasn't too upset when they started charging. However, the website decided that all of the sudden, I need to verify the same account login I've used for years with a number that I haven't had since I originally made the account. Now I'm paying for a service that I'm unable to use and can't even log in to cancel the subscription. I've attempted to contact the company multiple times this month with no response.

Desired outcome: Fix the account verification or stop charging me.

I too decided to re-instate with a personal premium account $6.99. Using my debit card as payment, all went speedily, but when entering my updated cell phone number and a password of my choosing, a message pops up stating invalid Gmail address or invalid password. Over and over, so im unable to establish service and my debit account is set up on a month to month deduction and no services from armslist.05/08/2021.

Make sure to utilize the contact forms available on the website. In my case, I had contacted them multiple times and hadn't heard back for about a month or more but, after I filed the complaint, I received a phone call days later. The guy was apologetic and had me back on my account with updated information by the end of the call but I hope you don't have to do all of that just to have access to the service you pay for, as well. If it wasn't for the fact that the service is pretty unique to this company and that I appreciate their fighting for the second amendment, I'd have cancelled and caused as much trouble for them as possible. I just decided it isn't worth it to me. I appreciate gun rights far too much to hold a grudge on these guys.

Armslist Not opening my premium account.

My complaint is that I signed up for the paid Armslist premium account with a credit card and I cannot make posts or offers. It has been quite a while and Armslist is not responding to my emails (3 over the course of over a month). All I am asking for is for Armslist to take my money and open my account. I had a regular account for years and never had any problems.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Welch ([protected]@yahoo.com)

Desired outcome: Open my account.

Armslist Benelli m2 shotgun

I started conversing with this individual on 1/25/2021. After I agreed to purchase the firearm. He asked my to have my vendor of choice send their FFl. After he received the FFl. He asked to send payment by Zelle, So I did. He emailed me back as soon as he got the confirmation and stated that he would contact me with shipping information. He finally contacted me on 1/28/2021 stating that he would ship it off that day. He again contacted me later that day stating that he shipped it by UPS regular mail and I would receive it on 2-2 2021. I have not received the firearm and he is not responding to my emails.

When I search for a particular item or category, Armslist pops up all kinds of irrelevant offerings.
For example, I type "10 mm." for search, and all I get is 9 mm. offerings. Did your computer take Math 101? There is a difference between 10 mm. and 9mm. you know. "7.62 x 25" gets me all kinds of AK's and their ammo. Get on the electronic stick or go broke, guys. Your search program needs its thick bifocals fixed. Those are just two examples among many others of your search program ineptness. Thank you.

Armslist Sign in

I have not been able to sign in for six days now and have sent emails each day to them about this. No reply no nothing but somehow I bet when I stop payments to them they will be quick to note that. I can't use a cell phone where I live and I have given them a land line and email address to use to verify who I am instead. So they send me a TEXT message I can't open and here we are. Paying for something I can't use and they do not seem to care.

Desired outcome: Fix the darned problem
