What a free listing includes
Private sellers and dealers list on CarListing, all over Australia. A Standard listing is free, and there is nothing to pay when the car sells.
- No listing fee: a Standard listing costs nothing.
- No commission: the sale price is yours.
- No expiry: the listing stays up until you mark it sold or delete it, and nothing renews.
- Up to 15 photos: the first one is what buyers see in search.
How listing works
- Enter your rego. CarListing looks up your car and fills in the make, model and details. Your rego is not stored or shown.
- Add photos, a price, your location and a description. Your phone number is optional, and everything saves as you go.
- Publish. Every listing is checked before buyers see it, then it goes live.
How buyers contact you
Buyers message you on CarListing, so you can talk about the car without handing out your email address. Messages cannot include an email address, which keeps the conversation on the site.
- Your phone number is optional: leave it off and buyers can still message you.
- If you add it: buyers have to be signed in to see it.
Keeping the listing up to date
- Edit any time: change the price or any detail and save. Most changes show straight away.
- New photos and a new description appear once they have been checked.
- Mark it sold: the listing stays up marked Sold, and buyers can no longer contact you about it.
Before you publish, the guides to taking photos and writing the ad help the listing do its job.
Premium, if you want it
Premium is optional, a one-time $9.99 with no renewal. Both listing types are seen by the same buyers.
- Shown above Standard listings in searches, unless a buyer sorts by price or another order.
- Moved back up every week, ahead of older Premium listings.
- Posted to the CarListing Facebook page.
- Up to 30 photos, with automatic number plate blurring.
