Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sell It Yourself?
Sell it Yourself is a product AutoTrader offers to private sellers where you can create the perfect listing by following our step-by-step instructions.
How much is it to advertise my car?
We have a range of options to choose from so you’ll easily find the perfect one to suit your budget.
How long will my car be advertised for?

What is a Featured Listing and Standout?

Featured Listing - Be seen first. Buyers looking for vehicles from private sellers will see your advert at the top of search results in a special featured section on a rotational basis.

Stand out in Search - Get buyers' attention by displaying up to 5 photos in search results. Buyers will be able to see all the features of your vehicle at a glance making them more likely to contact you.
Are my personal details listed on the website?
No. For spam-prevention and privacy purposes your listing will display a virtual phone number instead of your own phone number.
Why have I got a different phone number showing on my ad?
The phone number you see on your listing is the protected virtual phone number we provide. This ensures your personal details are kept safe while selling your vehicle. When a potential buyer calls the virtual phone number displayed on your listing, the call will be directed to the phone number you have provided to us.
How do I Pay?
All payments are made by credit card or EFT via a secure online payment gateway.
Will I get an invoice?
Absolutely! You’ll be able to download your tax invoice from your ‘Orders’ page.
How do I know once payment has been received?
You will be redirected to a screen indicating that your payment has been successful.
Can I edit my listing?

You can edit your listing at any time by signing in to your account and navigating to ‘Manage my listing’.

Keep in mind if you make an edit to your listing it will be unpublished temporarily from the website pending moderation by our support team. Please note that changes to your listings can take up to 24 hours to reappear on the website.
