Peddle Reviews 

Very efficient and easy to use online registration
Great communication......on time service....friendly driver...cash payment. On the whole, a pleasant and quick experiance

Peddle made selling my old, no longer road worthy vehicle with an expired registration super easy and hassle-free. And they offered a very fair price considering the condition of the car. Highly recommended company.

The transaction was so easy I called and received my car offer and then I set the pick up time and the next day a tow truck came and pick up the vehicle the driver had my check ready he took a picture of the registration and my driver license and handed me the check and that's it very easy thanks

Avoid Peddle.com at all costs. I gave them every single piece of information they asked for upfront. I even went well out of my way to contact my ex and get a photo of her ID just to satisfy their paperwork requirements and ensure a smooth transaction for a $220 offer.
Instead, they waited until the exact scheduled day of pickup to hit me with a brand-new demand. The person who was supposed to pick up the car called me and suddenly claimed they needed an old copy of my vehicle registration, which I do not have.
To make matters worse, they flat-out LIED to me over the phone. When I told them this was never requested, they tried to claim they had asked me for it the day before. They absolutely did not. They failed to mention it until the last second, ruined the entire pickup, and then tried to gaslight me over the phone to cover up their own terrible organization.
They put me through massive hassle for a $220 payout, showed zero respect for my time, and lied to cover their tracks. Incredibly unprofessional, dishonest, and disorganized.

They set a price over the phone and then once the record was backed up to the car and I scraped my inspection sticker and registration stickers off the car they tried to lowball me with a lower offer. I sent them on their way. They are so crooked. Now there reply is trying to put the blame on me. The guy picking up the vehicle knew once we signed over the title and scraped the registration they could lowball. Do not deal with this company.

The person arrived at the end of the 4 hour window for car pickup without a notification apart from a general call 3 hours before actual pickup. The car was supposed to be paid by check to me, which I needed for digital direct deposit. Junk car purchaser handed me 3 $100 bills, which I couldn't breakup as my bank isn't in the region due to a move. The person picking up the car barely spoke English, wouldn't give me a electronic or digital copy of my bill of sale as required by state regulations and my insurance, and said I could leave license plates on. He was talking with a friend on ear buds, not listening to me, made me drive the car onto a very steep and unsafe tilted truck bed with few instructions, and took a photo of the bill of sale on his tablet with my cell phone. He wouldn't let me remove the registration tag either. When I went to check the $100 bills were real he got upset, said they rwal--well that convinced me. The bill of sale had the wrong address for the company purchasing it, which meant I couldn't fill out the TX online transfer notification form. I had to call, then text, then call back, to the company's one dispatcher, for them to send me the bill of sale and give me the correct address. They texted me but wouldn't respond to my texts. And they didn't email me the bill of sale as requested. The invoice from Peddle had incorrect information about the company as well. Without their phone number, there was no indication of who actually bought my car on the paperwork I was given by the company, as the signature of the buyer was unreadable and the company's name was not on the bill of sale. Also, the pickup driver refused to sign the back of my title to complete the transfer, just throwing it in his truck without saying anything to me. He acted like in a big hurry, when his running late ran me late for work. I also had to take the cash to get a money order, and lost money to get one just so I dlcould do digital deposit for the funds. I needed the money in my account for bills, not in my wallet in $100 billls no one will break

I found this company on Facebook and thought I'd see how much I could get for my Camry. I got an offer for $755 dollars. I set up the deal with someone from this business and was told that the would be at my location at between 7am and 11am. They didn't show up until 11:20 am. The check they had had the written amount on it of $710. That was $45 less than what the quote had given me on the website. The person said she couldn't do anything about it and never offered a manager. I would give them a 2 but they were able to get the car off my hands before the registration expired.

This process was so easy, and went without a hitch. I thought I'd get more for my car, since there really wasn't anything major wrong with it, but I was low balled. Having grown up with mechanics, I know this, but that has nothing to do with Peddle.
Bottom line, I was glad to get my old car removed from the complex parking lot, before my registration ended! I would've been paying out, rather than getting paid.

The initital registration and the process to receive an estimate was very easy.

I was told the car would be picked up between 3-8 pm Tuesday. I took off from work so I could be available and then the tow company never came for the car.

I tried to contact the towing company numerous times all day yesterday and they never returned my calls or texts. After they texted me about sending them a picture of my title I had texted them confirming the 3-8 pm time frame. They never responded. Through out the day I texted and called and never got a response. I did contact Peddle at 7:40 PM and was told that I needed to give the tow company the full alloted time. When I asked if they still dont come what do I do, and they said call back. At 8:02pm I called back and Peddle was no closed.

The next morning I called Peddle and talked to a very nice CSR named Melissa who appoligized and said this is very odd. She offered to call the towing company and reschedule.

When the Peddle CSR and I called the towing company today they said they NEVER would have picked the car up because there would not be enough time to get it to the lot that closes at 4. The towing company could not have been more rude.

I am not sure why Peddle would allow for a user to select the time frame that does not exist. Needless to say I took off from work so I could be able to meet the towing company and then had to do the same today to be available AGAIN.

The tow truck did come on the second day and at first they said they could not take the car today because Peddle change the lot they need to take the car to and since they already had a car on the trailer that would be imposible today. Fortunately they did resolve that issue, and agreed to take the car. They did tell me that they would have to give me $90 less then the estimate because there were scratches on the side of the car. When I signed up for my estimate I selected the option "few dings or scratches." In their FAQ they state "Most used cars have some wear and tear, small blemishes will not affect your Offer." When I called Peddle to discuss this they said I had marked "Body damage Free: Yes." This I never marked. I did select the option that said dents and scratches were ok. Peddle couldnt produce what I actually submitted and they do not send you a copy. It was my word against theirs and since they had my car it didn't seem like they cared.

I would think twice before using this service.

Very straight forward process. Peddle does not require the registration to be current. Tow operator picks up the vehicle, and after confirming information, cuts the check.

sold two cars, one was a 2016 kia slx turbo, that was affected by the knock sensor recall. had one engine replacement, as soon as i paid the car off in 2025 the same issue happened again and after my vehicle sat at the dealership for ten months, no communication with kia corporate or my local dealership about fixing it after my initial appt- and countless times i reached out and was always told “we will call you back in 48hrs once we figure out what’s going on” by kia corporate i even sent a damn certified letter trying to get answer. i finally went there and asked to speak to someone and was told i should trade it in for a new kia, which i was willing to consider - the dealership offered me ONE DOLLAR. That was the straw that broke the camels back, i finally wanted to be done with kia and the car- a car i put $15,000 down and finally paid off, a car i paid insurance on for a total of 21 months while the first repairs were happening and then it sitting the second time, a car i had to pay late fees for being passed due on my registration at no fought of my own. i googled who buys junk cars and found peddle. They offered me $2,115 the car would start and could drive (to a different parking spot) but other than that it was useless.I would have love to keep the car but at this point it was a money pit. They picked up the car from the dealership, check was deposited into my account that day and has since cleared. The same day i also put my bfs 2013 Scion Tc, and they offered $620, which i thought was reasonable because it was a salvage title. That car they picked up from my home 4 days later - no issues. Check cleared. If you’re feeling stuck, and are paying for insurance on a car that doesn’t work or drive properly i definitely recommend peddle, and i found them through the clunker junker website. i am grateful for how easy the process was after such a miserable experience with kia

I like how easy the whole process was.

Peddle removed a source of worry for me, as we had a car that we no longer used frequently enough to justify keeping it, and insurance, registration, parking fees, maintenance and repair costs far exceeded the value of the vehicle.

But the hassle of selling it conventionally prevented me from selling the car.

It was quick and easy I didn't even have the title all I needed was the registration thank you Peddle

Was actually entirely skeptical about this service, but after trying them out, would actually recommended the service to other folks wanting to get more of their junker than from other places, especially from dealerships!

My experience was not entirely smooth sailing however… my sell was postponed/rescheduled a few times, mostly due to the contracted towing company having their own issues. Now the silver lining about that aspect was that each time the tow was rescheduled, Peddle actually quoted me a higher price for my junker! I don’t remember what Peddle initially offered, but it was far more than the $200 the dealership offered, and when the car finally departed, I was paid $700!

And every time I had an issue and called Peddle, their service staff were super helpful and friendly!

Now the only wrinkle I’m experiencing is now my local DMV is sending me a registration renewal notice which I wasn’t expecting as I gave away the title when the car was towed, so I’m definitely going to be looking into that soon!

Paddle.com is a payment processor and Merchant of Record already sanctioned by the FTC ($5 million enforcement action) for ignoring consumer complaints and masking chargeback rates. This review documents why that enforcement was justified — and why Paddle remains a poster child for dark pattern commerce.

Deceptive Pricing, Hidden Recurring Language:

The merchant I dealt with, processed through Paddle, used pricing structures that were not clearly disclosed and buried recurring billing language where a reasonable customer would not see it. This is not a one-off design flaw. It is the pattern Paddle enables across the merchants it processes for.

Obscured Merchant Identity:

Paddle bills under their own name ("PADDLE.COM") rather than the underlying merchant. This obscures the true seller and delays customer detection of unauthorized charges. I am an avid kayaker. "Paddle.com" on my statement looked like a kayak vendor. This is structural camouflage, not an accident.

Zero Real Customer Service:

Paddle's support is an automated chatbot handling only basic FAQs. There is no path to a human agent for billing disputes. This is a design choice built to exhaust the customer, not resolve their issue.

Jurisdictional Complexity By Design:

The merchant in question is UK-registered (Company Registration No. 12266059, publicly verifiable via UK Companies House). Paddle itself is EU-registered and has a documented reputation for allowing bad actors to transact without meaningful ethical oversight. The merchant's managing director resides in the UAE — a structure that spreads accountability across three jurisdictions specifically to frustrate consumer recourse and regulatory enforcement.

The FTC Already Knows:

The FTC's $5 million enforcement action against Paddle specifically cited ignoring consumer complaints, masking chargeback rates, and obstructive customer service designed to prevent refunds. This review documents that same conduct continuing.

WHAT TO DO:

Cancel any subscription on your credit ledger that comes from Paddle.com before the deception becomes a problem. If you've already been billed without authorization, go directly to your bank or card issuer for a chargeback, and report Paddle to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) and the Netherlands ACM (consuwijzer.nl).

CANCEL ANY SUBSCRIPTION YOU SEE THAT USES PADDLE.COM

We’d tried other well-known car donation sites, who all claimed they didn’t need a pink slip… but when it got to their towing companies they all required it. We had old expired registration and DMV showing we owned it. Their towing company was able to work with that, and we were paid directly at pickup. They have a good chatbot but also easy to reach a live agent. We recommend!

The quote was the best and the service was excellent. There were some glitches in the registration that caused minor problems and the staff was right there to explain what needed to be done. They reviewed the vehicle to ensure the description we provided was correct and provided the agreed payment amount on the spot.

The people that were picking it up a day late and then the guy was trying to say that couldn't take it because of only had to registration which is a '05 so there's no title only a registration. I had to have him call just to verify he can take it with registration only he should know by now!! Plus the price it's a running car that moves Forward backwards and anywhere else you wanted to go. Everything is going to make money for you guys and then but we get shafted and get paid bottom dollar.

Peddle offered me twice as much as CarMax or Carvana. They were willing to pick up the car with a tow truck, the other two weren't. Car Max indicated I had to have a current registration, which I didn't. Peddle show up on time and made it easy. Thanks Peddle! I recommend them highly!

I didn't have a title, only the registration and they still towed my car away. The tow truck driver was great, he called and said he would be an hour and showed up in one hour. Looked the car over and handed me cash. Thank you
