I did try to sell an amp on there but got no responses.
I don;t think it's that widely used in the UK yet, I suspect the classifieds here move a lot more gear than Reverb
Ebay listing has had nearly 10x the views in the same time period.
Things to watch for:
- An item sells instantly when someone accepts your asking price. Bear that in mind if and when you advertise elsewhere. Not good if you've accepted or sold locally, but haven't updated Reverb.
- Reverb defaults to using Paypal if you're not a retailer, so you attract both Reverb and Paypal fees when selling. But it's a lot clearer than Fleabay. There's also the murky situation of the (self configured) Reverb Return Policy versus Paypal Return Policy.
The plus points are incremental over Fleabay. It appears a lot less complicated to list on Reverb, and as a buyer, the listings are a lot more focused. Search for 'x' and you get 'x'. E.g search for 'Yamaha' and you get the musical instruments. (So no motorbikes, no posters, no pictures, no outboard motors, no Yamaha bike spares, and no teddies called Yamaha); search for 'Fender' on Reverb, and you'll avoid the bicycle mudguards.
I've since downloaded the app for my phone so I'll give that a go when I get chance, fingers crossed!
Had a nice chat with Iain from Reverb at The Guitar Show, and I'm hoping we can get the UK activity up on there.
Easier to list on than eBay and provided you're selling decent stuff without issues no problems for the buyer either
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

I did contact them about this and they were quite quick to respond, they are aware and looking into it.

Remember, you're not restricted to Reverb if you decide to go for it, and it's wise to spread the love about what you're selling - Ebay or Gumtree or Preloved. There's even Criaigslist, if you can get over the fact it's not national, but regional.
There are those who use Ebay or Gumtree or Preloved exclusively, and miss out on so much by not tapping into Reverb.
I'm finding more and more independent UK retailers are using Reverb, and they have Reverb listings which are more up-to-date than on their own websites.
