    Hi Thanks for the reply! 

    Maybe I will give Car Guru a chance then and just upload single pay as you go adverts to Ebay Classifieds. 

    Do you have any other suggestions for Advertising? 

     

    None that I know of, tend to find Autotrader works well as long as you understand how to advertise on Autotrader, if you have an account and paid monthly package you can call them up for tips etc.

    Ebay is currently one of the worst companies to deal with, no customer service, no response to emails, too many tech problems with adverts randomly being removed or never going live etc. Only way to get them to contact you is by cancelling your direct debit.

     

    Car Gurus is better as a company, but I found leads to be very thin on the ground. Odd sale here and there but then dry spells for months.

    Hi all, 

     

    Just after some advice, pointers.

    I use my samsung to take pics of our vehicles, however, a, it's a ballache uploading via my phone, b) i have to adjust, crop, resize them every time and man is it annoying.  Just wondered am I not doing something right, not go the right setting on my phone?

    At the very least I'd like not to have to resize them every time I take pics.

     

    Thanks

    Put a few examples up, I'm sure folk will give you some good pointers

    In that case change accountants earlier rather than later save yourself a load of headache and possible surcharges 

    +1, get an accountant that has knowledge of motor trade, don't skimp out on a good accountant!

    I went from the standard package down to the starter package in Jan of this year, no difference at all. Then went up to advanced in October as a test and sold less that I had in previous months. Now back onto standard package and have been arguing with Autotrader on a weekly basis as they believe I need to spend more money with them to sell more..... even though the advanced package made no difference, if not is was worse. 

    Also, if everyone is on the higher packages, nobody has an advantage? It's just Autotraders way of squeezing more money out of you.

    Personally, I think it'd be easier to put a second hand seat in from a breakers yard, unless it's a weird colour combo with heated leather that you'll never be able to find.

    £100 delivered, I reckon by the time someone's repaired it for a similar price, you'd have the second hand seat in and the car advertised.

    You need to send them a request via autotrader with their name and email. Click on the 3 dots to the left of the pic of the car on the main stock profile screen, should come up with edit vehicle, boost vehicle and request review.

    I noticed a few of the multivendor ones have an outstanding stocking finance marker on the experian checks on Autotrader. I've bought a few multivendor ones over the last couple of days, collecting next week. He who dares :lol:

    Can I ask what other traders are paying? I’ve been trading for 25 years and every year seems to be getting more expensive. Yes I know everything goes up but this year it has nearly doubled. No claims or convictions , it’s getting beyond belief.  It’s not as though I’ve claimed or stock dozens of cars. I’m a one man band now after scaling down over the last few years but insurance just continues to rise. This year I’ve seen the biggest increase. What’s the norm?

    It'll always increase, shop around, find the best quote and ask your current providers to beat it, best chance of getting it down.
