Ratings and reviews

The search engine never finds what you're looking for. You have to go through categories to find what you need. I found an item I wanted and noticed the category thread of it at the bottom. I clicked on it and finally found all the listings. Also, needs to take PayPal. You always put in too many bob's and your leftover money gets stuck in there. Address format only considers SA addresses. The mobile app keeps reverting to SA so the seller doesn't know to quote freight cuz he thinks I'm in SA!

The cart experience is not great. I had 30-something items in my cart and the total was just over R3000 but then went down to a 1000 then up to 2500, etc. Eventually when I paid I realized afterwards that it didn't calculate the total items from seller, and after paying there were still 9+ items in my cart. I removed them and after restarting the app there were still 2 items in the cart. It's not calculating and updating correctly.

App keeps crashing every time I want to pay since the latest update. Search function is not great and returns many unrelated results. On a number of occasions, I add items to the cart and then they disappear immediately. The seller sorted it out with bobshop but it's not the first time. Bid or buy platform was better.
