Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money. The website is not user-friendly. Trying to download a video is a massive pain. It is very costly. I paid 130.00 to advertise my bike for 15K then went in and tried to lower the price to 14,500, but got an error code telling me the listing price was higher than what I paid for and would not allow me to adjust the price. I've only been contacted by scammers wanting me to fill out and pay for a vehicle history report. The bike has been on there for a few weeks now and not one legitimate person has contacted me about the bike. Use Marketplace you will get just as many views if not more. It is user-friendly and easy to download videos. The best part is it's FREE!! Again don't do like I did and waste your money.

360% Price Hike, in 1.5 years?
In mid 2023, a 6 week CT ad started at $40 for 6 weeks. It's now $64 for 2 weeks. Did the Chinese buy it? Or someone on crack? Financial strategy to write off against other assets, after it's bankrupt? Isn't that a combined increase of ~360%? No thanks. If they didn't already have enough increasing internet competition, they will now. :D

Buyers need to be vetted more thoroughly. Most buyers are scammers who want to meet elsewhere, wire money from fictitious banks and generally waste the sellers time. I will probably try facebook marketplace instead.

I still like your service and site although the amount of views my bike sale attempt just gathered was way below the amount I am used to seeing and after 2 attempts to sell this bike and dropping the price for the second attempt quite a bit I am disappointed.

The site and the add are fine but I didn’t like when I shared my phone number I got at least 20 scam text in one day, this was to the point I wanted to cancel my add and get my money back. I don’t no if it’s bots but it’s not acceptable. I hid my number and I’m keeping the add for now. Probably won’t use this anymore.

I have not sold the motorcycle as of yet.

So the advertisement got out to potential buyers.

Nothing but SCAMMERS and FRAUD!
From a Government Consumer Protection Investigator: Nothing but scammers. In a month and a half, not a single "real person" contacted me about a sale. I'm a Consumer Affairs Investigator for the government, and this site is just 50% dealership marketing and 50% scammers. Cycle Trader does nothing to shield or protect sellers. Waste of time, and a despicable business model. Hard to believe that in these times, any company would still dare to rip-off Americans.

The email system on Cycle Trader has become ineffective, causing significant communication issues between sellers and buyers. Without a reliable messaging system, sellers are unable to effectively communicate with potential buyers, leading to frustration and wasted time. Additionally, the lack of confirmation messages makes it unclear whether messages have been sent or received, further complicating the process. It’s crucial to resolve these issues to improve the user experience for both sellers and buyers.
Even we are not receive the confirmation message our message are send or not

I tried selling my motorcycle on this…
I tried selling my motorcycle on this site 10 years ago, and again five years ago. I see there’s still using the same scams, almost Word for Word and the replies from cycle. Trader have been the same almost word for word. And around and around it goes. Cycle trader you could do better but you won’t you think your BS is only going to one person but we’re all reading the same thing. Shape up or ship out!
