I received far too many warnings that carsales "hadn't heard from (me) for a while" and therefore, Carsales was going to delete my ad' if I didnt log in and ask for an extension.
What would have happened if I was on holiday or in hospital? I'd lose the ad!
For this reason, I've given Carsales a 3-star rating only.

Placed ad and within 30 mins free videos had been created for me to select from. 12 hours later I had an inspection, offer and sold while a second offer was being made in background.

I advertised the car for sale on Saturday evening, the Ad was approved Saturday evening. George called this morning, he viewed the CRV from around 2:15 pm and it was sold at around 3:00 pm and the transfer done at Service NSW. Money (cash) was in the bank at 3:55 pm. Plus there were 3 other enquiries to the Car sales Ad. In summary, simple and quick. Best Regards David

Most expensive site to sell your vehicle. Dealerships also have to pay per lead it was about $66 per lead when I worked at a dealership that is why you have to put a lead through to see the dealership name. Other sites are cheaper and just as good I wouldn't use again and cant wait for the other sites to gain traction.

Carsales is easy to use, keeps you informed, I like that you pay upfront and it can remain on site for as long as needed and most importantly it has been effective in selling 2 of our cars.

It took over a month to get a response. Then I only got 3 enquiries. I've decided to keep my car for now. I might try again at a later date.

I have sold a few cars on Carsales now, and always been a good experience. I listed my car yesterday, got 5 strong inquiries, and sold today for my asking price.

The calls came 10 mins after placing the advert with Carsales - I have sold cars in the past and never as easy as using this method. Great result - very happy seller.

It is the best site for buying and selling a vehicles. Thanks carsales a lot. I am certain in the future I will use this site to help me buying or selling another car.

The platform is user-friendly. Very easy to set-up/edit/manage. It also allows for good channels of communication. An excellent tool to advertise a car that will assist with a quick sell.

While selling a recent model Euro SUV 30% of the listings in my state for the same vehicle were incorrectly categorised. These were lower spec models listed as the higher spec. Carsales just lets the vehicles sit their in the wrong category even after being notified of the incorrect listings.

Additionally the messaging system is rubbish. I have not been notified of messages and sellers and buyers I've contacted directly (SMS and phone) have told me the same.

Rubbish product dressed up as premium.

Having an interest in cars, I use this app to browse rather than buying a car. The app was great at the start and saving cars wasnt an issue. Now tho, Ill save a car and then have a look at my saved cars list were only around half of my saved cars will actually appear. Cant complain too much as Ive gotten fuel discounts from the app. Customer service is great and I can still view the cars I want, they just wont appear in the saved cars list. All in all, its pretty good.

Kate has been helping me with the problems since I published the review, great customer service and Im sure once the bug is fixed, this app will be be great.

Good exposure, good customer service and easy enough to do (also I loved the hilarious movie free ad!). The instant carfacts option is also helpful. I did however get spammed twice by fairly convincing scammers immediately and I believe I shouldn't have to pay extra for a security service when I'm already paying a significant fee to advertise the car on a secure website. Website security from scammers should already be included in the fees.

I have similar experience in two occasions of selling cars through this website. Both of my vehicles were of low cost but it didnt get sold both times through this website. I waste my money and time. Carsales should return half of the amount of the ad if the Car is not sold. This is not fair

I find Carsale.com a very effective way to advertise the vehicle.
Had plenty of inquires and sold in a week.
In fact so many inquiries that it became hard to manage.

easy to post an ad and photos the car sold quicky at a fair price some low ball offer via SMS however I would always expect that happy to use again

We received zero worthwhile enquiries from the Carsales.com.au listing despite realistic pricing. Much more response from utilising free sites like Gumtree and Facebook using the same price, photos and description. All forms of the listing were paused or deleted the same amount of times when we were not going to be around for a period of time. When you consider it costs a not insignificant amount just for a basic listing on Carsales.com.au it's hard to imagine we would use it again when there are free alternatives that give better outcomes.
