Two successful purchases, but many non-responses
I have bought 2 bikes on CT, one private and one dealer. Both good experiences and great deals. My issue is the lack of response from many private sellers in the process of finding the 2 bikes I bought. Not sure if it is sellers not taking the offer down after it has been sold or just not checking their messages. In one case I sent multiple messages with no response and the offer is still up and they have dropped the price. Never, sold a bike here, but it seems like offers should expire if there is no seller response.

I listed my dirt bike on cycle trader
I listed my dirt bike on cycle trader. Literally scammer after scammer trying to buy my bike. Not one legit customer.
They have no protection against scammers whatsoever. Don’t waste your money listing a bike here.

Constant Technical Difficulties
Constantly has technical issues with sub categories.
When you enter your zip code and search for a specific model, it simply doesn't list the specific model you're looking for. To say this is frustrating is an understatement.

Rep off.
I purchased an ad for 80.. which included 1 photo and 1 video if your a member of YouTube or Vimeo. I am not. You can’t chat or call for advise. Finally after 30 minutes I spoke with someone who said to send a video to the text I sent you or email. I did both. I was charged 3 times One for 199.00 and another for 189.00. I contacted my bank for fraudulent fees. The fees have not been returned and the video is nowhere to be found. I now haw a lawyer.

Waste of money
Waste of money. Bike at very low price and had only one contact in 2 weeks and person wasn’t a serious buyer. They constantly hit you up for more money. Not a good option.

Waste of Money
Don't waste your money posting on cycle trader. I bought it into their $99 option. Supposedly this would get premium posting and support. In the first couple of weeks I received a few responses that seemed like scams. Having it posted for 6 months is not a plus. After a couple of weeks my only response I got was " must be something wrong with the bike because it had been listed for awhile. So the 6 month listing period is a bad thing.

We appreciate you sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that the premium posting didn't meet your expectations and that you encountered potential scams. We'll investigate the listing process and user feedback to improve the platform's safety and effectiveness. Thank you for your feedback.
They promised me for $499 it will be listed until sold. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. They ended my listing when I called she said I am sorry and she got me approved for another 6month. But the very next day she called me back and said sorry I made a mistake you would have to pay another $499. Disgrace of a company

Really expensive service that forcibly makes you purchase even more expensive higher tiers so that you can post more photos. Little to no interaction from potential customers. FB marketplace is a far better service and is free
