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.

Waste of money and time
I tried to sell my car in a price way lower that the average, my car was showing on the top of the list if you sort by lower to higher prices with same make and model. No contact at all except one time waster who offered half of the advertised price. I send it to a local dealer who bought it in the as same price on donedeal.ie .
For me it was waste of money.

Sorry to hear the ad didn't deliver the result you were hoping for — especially when you were priced competitively.
It's worth knowing that dealers browsing DoneDeal are often looking for exactly what private sellers have, so in a way the platform did connect you with a buyer, just not in the way you expected.
That said, we're sorry it felt like a waste. If you'd like to share any more detail, we're at hello@donedeal.ie and we'll pass your feedback to the right team.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE TO BUY CARS
We seen a car advertisement and we went and met a man we thought was legit about selling his car. It was for our son who needs a car for college and work. My son paid a lot of money that he saved up for over a year. Within a few days of having the car problems started we fixed the car put it back on the road now it has major problems and it has gone in to limp mode. We’ve ordered parts worth over €1000 to try to get the car back in working condition. I’ve tried contacting the seller who has now blocked me. When we first bought the car I asked the man straight out is there any problems with the car as it’s for our son he said no that it never gave him any of bother. Clearly this is not true, why can’t DoneDeal check who’s putting up ads on their site. This man is now selling 2 other cars on the site again most likely going to scam more people. It’s an utter disgrace!! How can I trust this site going forward people should be extremely weary

We're really sorry to hear this — what your son has gone through is genuinely distressing, especially after saving so hard for the car.
This is exactly the kind of behaviour we want off our platform. Please report the seller's ads directly through the site and get in touch with us at hello@donedeal.ie with as much detail as you can. We'll escalate this as a priority.
For future purchases, buying from a Trusted Dealer on DoneDeal gives you the protection of consumer rights, warranties, and verified seller status — it's the safest way to buy.

Thanks for the feedback — both points are really valid.
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.
On ease of use, we'll make sure your feedback gets to the right team. If you or someone you know needs a hand placing an ad, feel free to reach out at hello@donedeal.ie and we'll walk you through it.
If things improve, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.

Really sorry about this — we can see how frustrating that experience must have been, especially when you felt like you weren't being heard.
Under Irish regulations, sellers advertising more than 5 animals in a calendar year are required to provide a seller registration number. This is explained in our Animal Policy, and our team should have made that clear from the start rather than sending the same response repeatedly. We apologise for that.
Please get back in touch at hello@donedeal.ie referencing this review and we'll make sure someone looks at this properly for you.

Terrible app for an astronimical price
Terrible app for an astronimical price! Long gone are the days of 3 euro ads now 50 has donedeal got 16 times better to justify the price ? Most definitely not worse if anything, price gouging scumbags! Sooner a fairly priced alternative comes along the better

Thanks for the feedback — that sounds like a bug we had on a previous app version, please could you make sure you've updated your mobile app to the most recent version available via your app store?
If things improve, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.
Price on request.
Any advert with price on request in machinery section is most annoying. If anyone is selling a tractor surely they know how much they want for it. I wouldn't even bother looking or phoning when I see it. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback — it's a fair point and one we hear from buyers regularly. Transparent pricing makes for a much better experience for everyone.
We'll make sure this gets passed to the right team. In the meantime, if you spot ads that look like they're not playing by the rules, feel free to report them directly.
If your experience was otherwise positive, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.

Bogus Trader selling 50 cars
Reported a a so called car sales outfit to Done Deal 4 days ago, They have in excess of 50 cars for sale on DD, so a good DD customer.
I made a legitimate inquiry to the outfit re a car and the Eastern European boss was less than helpful, no info on the vehicle,
I checked the name of the outfit with the CRO and solo check and guess what?
Its a bogus-fictious company name.
No website, No email, No landline.
Sole point of contact is a Tesco mobile
Done Deal have done nothing and will do nothing
