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

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.

Sorry to hear that, that’s frustrating to deal with.
Issues like navigation on MacBook and messages locking up aren’t the experience we want. If you can, please reach out to us at hello@donedeal.ie or through the Help Centre so we can look into what’s causing it and get it sorted.
We’re continuing to improve performance across devices.

We hear you, and thanks for calling it out.
We understand fees aren’t ideal, but they represent a small % of your item’s value and help you reach Ireland’s largest car-buying audience. With 3M+ monthly users and 1,000+ cars sold daily, listings on DoneDeal sell faster and for more, delivering real value for money.
Features like extra visibility or photo limits are designed to give sellers options, but we’ll pass your feedback on to the team as we keep improving things.

My app won’t let me log in anymore on the phone. Tried everything and called about it ages ago. Can log in on laptop but not phone. App is updated. Been like this for years. And my name displays weird on adverts. Too expensive to advertise and full of traders sds.

Sorry about that, it sounds very frustrating.
Login issues on the app and details displaying incorrectly aren’t the experience we want. If it’s been ongoing, we’d really like to take another look and get it properly sorted for you. You can reach us at hello@donedeal.ie or through the Help Centre.

App is flaky with edits
App is flaky with edits, I was changing pictures on my ad but app won't let me, I had to reach out to the customer care to find out what's going on. The steps provided was a work around, there is no commitment on fixing bugs. when I edited the ad it removed the log number and mileage info, wrote to the customer service again, they knew the problem but refused to compensate for there buggy platform. All this hassle when putting up an ad costs over 35 Euros.

Sorry about the hassle here, that’s not how it should feel.
Issues with edits and missing details like mileage or reg can happen with certain app versions. The team is aware and working on fixes, but I get that’s no help when you’re trying to get an ad live.
If you’re still affected, the quickest way to get it sorted is via hello@donedeal.ie or our Help Centre so we can look at your specific ad.

Sorry to hear that. That’s not the experience we want for anyone.
The vast majority of users are genuine, but we know non-genuine users can be frustrating. We actively monitor the platform, block suspicious accounts, and provide ways to report anything that doesn’t feel right.
If you came across a specific issue, our team can look into it at hello@donedeal.ie.
You’ll also find more peace of mind choosing cars from Trusted Dealers, where checks and transparency are built in.

To many time wasters and messers. Over half of any interaction is a time wasters. Had to remove my number due to the amount a prank or stupid calls.

That’s frustrating, and not the experience you should be having.
A lot comes down to how individual users behave, but we do have ways to help. Keeping chats in the DoneDeal message centre gives you more control, and you can report or block anyone wasting your time.
If you’d like, our support team can also take a look at this for you at hello@donedeal.ie.
We’re working to reduce this kind of behaviour all the time. If things improve, we’d really appreciate you updating your rating.
