Create Listings That Sell

How dealers add, edit and publish cars on Motrade Marketplace, and how photos, price and details affect where a listing ranks.

Updated 29 September 2026

What helps a listing rank

  • Photos — more clear photos rank higher. Aim for at least 7, with a strong front three-quarter main photo.
  • Complete details — variant, mileage, registration city, assembly, features and documents or transfer status.
  • A realistic price in line with the market for that make, model and year.
  • Fast replies — responding quickly to buyers builds your reputation.
  • Fresh stock — mark sold cars as sold so buyers only see what's available.

Listing labels

  • Brand New — a new, unregistered car. You can list the colours you can supply.
  • Financing — you offer the car on finance or installments.
  • Negotiable and Available Now help buyers who filter for them.

Reserved and sold

While a deal's inspection window is active, the car shows as Reserved on the Marketplace. When the deal is confirmed, it's marked sold automatically.
