Disappointed.

So far the only contacts about my motorcycle have been from scammers. 4 different scammers attempting to get me to use scam websites or blatantly lying about their location/ intent to buy my bike. So far I have not had 1 genuine inquiry. Very disappointed.

The site has it's merits

The site has it's merits. I've been unable to access it because it won't take my saved password and username. The link to reset it is a loop, so it goes nowhere. They sent me a phone number to call for reset, but every time I call it, even at 2:30pm Pacific time, it says they're closed
Pretty much useless if you have a problem

Spend $30 for only two weeks and four pictures! What a waste of money. Far better off using the free platforms. Won’t ever be using this service again

Terrible editing options

I've sold several motorcycles on CycleTrader over the years but the process to place an ad has gotten harder and less user friendly.
SPECIFICALLY - I have an ad currently running where the TITLE of the ad is wrong (even though I did click through the "Trim Level" etc. AND I cannot edit the title of the ad! This means that anyone searching for a BMW GS model will NOT see my ad. I have emailed you guys and gotten no response.

My listing never synched to my account

My listing never synched to my account, so when I got an email, I was unsure whether the prospect got my reply.
Somehow my secondary email was utilized for my listing,
I emailed customer service twice with no reply

This is the first time using your site

This is the first time using your site. It was hard to navigate. When I received an inquiry I have no idea where these people are from. The way the inquires are formatted on your site are confusing. It's too confusing. I get a better response and it's less expensive to post my cycle on Facebook. I won't be using your site again.

Website is very much "non-intuitive"

Website is very much "non-intuitive". Overall impression is that it is 1990's web design. That being said, it gets the job done. Sold my motorcycle with a large number of follow up inquiries.
Uploading pictures was particularly easy.

There was a glitch with my ad. When I clicked on it, there was an error message stating "no vehicles found". I clicked on the bikes next to mine and they were fine. I reached out to cycle trader and they did not respond.
