Very expensive to put up an ad compared to the price when it started and Facebook market place is free so its always the first place anybody puts an ad

Written by the company
DoneDeal Cars is Ireland’s favourite place to buy a car (Human8, Independent Research, 2026), with 2.2 million people using DoneDeal Cars every month and 3.5 million across DoneDeal overall. For over 20 years, DoneDeal has been part of homes, farms and families, a place where people have bought and sold everything from kitchen tables to farm machinery to cars. That’s where DoneDeal began: Ireland’s general marketplace, connecting communities across the country. But Ireland has evolved. And so has DoneDeal. We’ve grown from a general buy-and-sell site into Ireland’s largest car marketplace, built for everyone from learners to lifelong drivers. Today, DoneDeal Cars is Ireland’s number one car marketplace, with more new and used cars for sale from dealerships than any other site. With over 86,000 cars available, 80% are listed by dealerships, and many are now DoneDeal Cars Trusted Dealers, offering warranties, verified history checks and top-rated service, so peace of mind comes as standard. Behind DoneDeal Cars is a team across Ireland focused on making car buying better, safer and simpler. Because buying a car should feel this good.

Thanks for taking the time to share this — both points are fair.
On pricing, fees represent a small percentage of your item's value and help you reach Ireland's largest buying audience. With 3M+ monthly users and 1,000+ cars sold daily, listings on DoneDeal sell faster and for more — so the value is real.
Your feedback on cross-category search is a good one and we'll make sure it gets to the right team. If you'd like to chat through anything, we're at hello@donedeal.ie.

On the browsing side, it may be worth trying different search filters or categories to surface newer listings. If you're still not seeing fresh content, drop us a line at hello@donedeal.ie and we'll take a look.

Eroded Trust
I paid €2.99 to bump my sofa advert on DoneDeal. Within five minutes, I received a message from a scammer wanting to buy the item through FedEx, and have since been pestered by them.
My issue isn't that the bump feature failed technically—it did move my advert to the top of the listings. My issue is that the only immediate result of paying for extra exposure was contact from a scammer, which significantly eroded my trust in the platform.
I contacted customer support and requested a goodwill refund of €2.99 given the circumstances. While the responses were polite, DoneDeal refused to show any flexibility.
For me, this isn't about the money; it's about customer trust and how concerns are handled when a customer has a poor experience.

Thanks for sharing this — and we're sorry that your first experience after paying for a bump was contact from a scammer. That's genuinely frustrating and we completely understand why it eroded your trust.
Unfortunately scammers are a reality on any open marketplace, but that doesn't make it any less unpleasant when it happens. You can avoid this by turning off phone/text as a contact option and using only the DoneDeal message centre where much greater security features exist.
We're sorry we couldn't do more when you reached out. If you'd like to try again, we're at hello@donedeal.ie and we'll do our best to help.
I always sell my car on Don Deal
