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.

I paid €2.99 to bump my sofa advert on DoneDeal. Within five minutes, I received a message from a scammer wanting to buy the item through FedEx, and have since been pestered by them.
My issue isn't that the bump feature failed technically—it did move my advert to the top of the listings. My issue is that the only immediate result of paying for extra exposure was contact from a scammer, which significantly eroded my trust in the platform.
I contacted customer support and requested a goodwill refund of €2.99 given the circumstances. While the responses were polite, DoneDeal refused to show any flexibility.
For me, this isn't about the money; it's about customer trust and how concerns are handled when a customer has a poor experience.

Ever since this company was taken over by a hedge fund who bought three companies together that's what daft for property, adverts and donedeal for car sale.
They have become a greed machine as they have monopolised the market especially for car sales.
Advertisement cost is so high that is out of reach from a normal seller who's not a motor trader to advertise.
Prices range from 36.99 43.99 even 56 or 60 euros depending on the asking price of the car. Most of the time car doesn't sell within two to three weeks and then you're out of auto bumps then you only have one option to pay again and get your ad on top.
DoneDeal platform is not even that great because when you have a auto registration to collect the details most of the time it picks up incorrect details.
Money making racket and fleecing consumers.marketpe all to try to comes into the market
I hope AutoTrader in UK comes into the Irish market to give them a real competition as their website is much better and prices much more competitive

The greed machine at Done Deal knows no bounds, it would seem.
Motoring ads are far too expensive, particularly for budget cars. I often let the ad run for a fortnight on Marketplace and only use Done Deal as a last resort if my item is unsold.
I also find myself unable to use the internal messaging. If a prospective buyer low balls you and you decline then the system will allow them to leave a rating and it could be based on sour grapes.
I also feel that there should be no visible opinion by the site around any of the information within my ad, eg a remark by Done Deal indicating mileage is considered high. If I am paying these rates then let the buyer decide for themselves how they feel about mileage. The system has zero credibility when 167k KM is considered 'Same as Average' mileage on a twenty year old car.
Years ago, Buy & Sell got greedy, transferring customers who were entitled to place free ads over to their sales dept for paid ads in an attempt to increase revenue and we all know how that went.
I look forward to the day when Done Deal gets theirs, I am certain that it will be very satisfying.
