This was my 7th or 8th bike sold through bikesales apart from our last 12 or so cars, plus 2 boats. Whilst the price to advertise has crept up, it is well justified in my opinion due to the improved p... See more

No Bingo

This is a very very expensive site to advertise on. I had one phone call, and that one person came and looked. Never purchased the bike.

Through no fault of bikesales my bike was pretty new still and dealers around the country, are dropping the price of brand spanking new bikes of the exact same colour and year and model, to below what I what for mine, so chances of sale is practically zero. No matter where I advertised. I've come to the conclusion I'm keeping my bike, as I don't want to lose to many dollars.

Waste of money

I hav sold my motorcycle through Marketplace without paying any fees. I have hold bike sales account for more than 2 months and nothing came out from it. Paid the 89$ fees and nothing even an interested buyer I had. Definitely will not sell on bikesales anymore

Pay through Bikesales is good , but mobile app speed UGGH

Facebook marketplace generated at least twice as much enquiry.
The Bikesales app is often atrociously slow or just hangs and this is very frustrating.
On the plus side the pay through Bikesales feature was straight forward and reassuring.
The Caresales app also hangs or is often glacially slow. If using either to research cars they crash hang or don't update your filters and as if you are a bot too often.
Not a nice experience.

Don't waste your time and money

This is the third bike I've tried to sell on Bikesales, and the third bike that Bikesales has failed to sell for me. With a track record of zero success, I won't be using it to sell a bike again. What a waste of time and money. For a sales marketplace focused solely on selling bikes, I'm shocked at how poorly it works. Sales diagnostics say the ad gets seen, but no buyers ever seem to materialise. I'm kind of shocked to be honest. But forget about selling through Bikesales, just list it on Facebook Marketplace for free. I'm no fan of Facebook but it seems to work.

Hi Chris, I’m really sorry to hear how disappointing this has been for you and completely understand your frustration.

While many sellers do have success on bikesales, we know results can vary depending on the bike, timing and demand. That doesn’t make your experience any less frustrating, and we appreciate you being honest about it. Your feedback is important and will be shared with the team as we continue working to improve the platform for private sellers.

thanks again,
-Alice

I bought a mountain bike online

I bought a mountain bike online. This guy calls me up later in the evening and says pay me $250 for shipping or I’ll cancel your order. I told him your website said free shipping so so I canceled the order I would avoid these guys, shady.

Hi Steve, thanks for sharing your feedback. Sorry to hear about your experience. What you’ve described relates to the actions of an individual seller, not our business directly. We expect all sellers using our platform to act honestly and ethically, and it’s disappointing when someone doesn’t meet that standard.

We work hard to create a trusted marketplace, and feedback like yours helps us reinforce those expectations with sellers. Thank you for taking the time to share what happened.

If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at customercare@carsales.com.au

Thanks again

Did not get much attention for a long time

Did not get much attention for a long perod of time.
Put it on FB marketplace and sold in less than a month.
You can call it timing or luck but for a fee based selling platform, Bikesales keeps asking for more money to put your ad in front. Which means it's sits in the back burner.

Simple, safe and (for me) fast.

Chose Bikesales because I felt like I would reach a targeted audience and also avoid some possible risks and drama from other free platforms. The ad creation, posting, & managing process was all straightforward. Easy to go back and edit after posting. Feedback giving numbers viewing, saving etc was great, and was clear it was getting in front of a lot of people. Got a response very quickly. Liked the built in safeguards, and the process felt safe. I put in lots of good photos and a good description, and a slightly cheeky price. I did get a reply within a few days offering less - we negotiated to the middle ground, and had a sale on the first weekend. One single upfront ad payment which worked out to be a bit over 1% seems like good value, along with removing any concern about ongoing fees, and no issue with advertising on multiple platforms (not that I did in this case).

Good results. But scammers sour experience.

Listings tend to represent higher quality portion of the market.

But Bikesales doesn't seem to take much acton in blocking identified scam enquiries. If more had been done about my scam notification to Bikesales, my selling experience would have been rated a 5/5.

Overpriced, useless service compared to free alternatives.

A useless, overpriced service compared to free alternatives. For the 4th time in two years, I have listed a motorcycle on both Bike Sales and Facebook Marketplace. Bike Sales resulted in spam calls and messages when listing my number public, and little to no interest from genuine prospective buyers. Facebook Marketplace generated far more interest and resulted in actual sales.
