CarOffer — Australia's Buyer-First Car Marketplace

💛

CarOffer is not built to maximise revenue — it's built to maximise fairness. Buyers always post free. Sellers pay a small flat fee — not a percentage of their sale. No commissions. No hidden costs. If we do right by you, we believe the rest will follow.

Listing rejected — full refund

⚠️

Listing approved and live — no refund

Once your listing has been approved and is live on the marketplace, the listing fee is non-refundable. This is because your listing has already been seen by buyers.

Frequently asked questions

Is CarOffer really free for buyers?

Yes, always. Buyers post the car they want, browse listings, receive offers and contact sellers completely free. There is no trial period or hidden fee. CarOffer is free for buyers permanently — that's a core part of how the platform works.

Can dealers use CarOffer?

Yes. Licensed dealers can list cars and send offers to buyer requests. If you have a lot of stock, contact us about a dealer plan.

How long does my listing stay live?

Listings are live for 60 days from the date of approval. If your car hasn't sold, you can relist at the same price. We're working on automatic renewal options.

What happens if my listing is rejected?

Our team reviews every listing within 24 hours (same day for Featured). If we reject your listing — for example due to incomplete information or a concern about the vehicle or ownership — we will email you explaining why and issue a full refund.

How do offers to buyers work?

Open the Buyer requests tab in the marketplace. When a buyer wants a car like yours, send them an offer with your price and a message. The buyer sees your offer and contact details in their account and gets in touch if interested.

What does "no commission" actually mean?

When a buyer contacts you through CarOffer and you sell your car, CarOffer takes nothing from the sale. The $49 or $99 listing fee is the total you pay us. Everything else stays with you.
