The only contacts I received were from scammers trying to get me to buy a pre-inspection report. Facebook marketplace had quality leads and the bike was sold there within 24 hours. I will never bother with carsales or bikesales again.

I advertised my bike (to sell for $12500) with top promotion purchase. First- they won’t approve your ad as quickly as they say (2 hours during business hours) Second- the ad is not user friendly at all for sellers. You can see your own ad in detail from purchasing end but if you want to go to your ad to see and manage it (there is way to do it)… Read more

but is not user friendly at all. Third- despite the top promotion payment, the inquiries you get are none. I posted ad in here and Facebook marketplace at the same time. Any changes to ad were done simultaneously in both platforms. I paid Bikesales $149 and $30 in Facebook for ad and promotion. Facebook approved it in minutes, I got more than 5 inquiries in Facebook in less than 24 hours and sold bike in reasonable price within 24 hours. During this whole period I got not a single inquiry in bikebiz. Bikebiz placed my ad most of this time in “awaiting approval status” where Facebook actually sold my bike. I removed ad with no inquiry.

It is a good app, easy to use and I have had success before. Also, I didn't get any time wasters and trolls like you do with that other Mark##Pl*** app.Just genuine people who are looking for a bike.

Bikesales is the only secure platform and dedicated to bikes. The pay through Bikesales feature is an absolute plus and a bonus with no charges. Easy and secure and the money is deposited straight into your account at the time of sale including any deposits.

Too easy to do business. Very happy wih the result

I have sold my motorcycle on Marketplace and I didn’t pay for any fees. Since I open the account on Bikesales and paid 89$ none asked about my bike. Waste of money. Marketplace way easier and no fees to pay if u sell.

Not 1 enquiry received through bikesales, while the identical ad on Facebook marketplace received nearly a dozen and ultimately sold to a FB user. Bikesales is redundant and a complete waste of money in my experience.

Do not waste your money. $100 down the drain. Pathetic performance not a single lead generated. Save your money and time and simply sell your bike on Facebook marketplace. Prepaid websites like this should be avoided and will ultimately become redundant.

I was quite happy with advertising my bike on Bikesales, but I was contacted by at least four scammers that were trying to get me to pay for a vehicle inspection for $99.00 - I googled it and it is a well known scam apparently. It would be good if you could somehow ban these people or report them.

i have sold a couple of other bikes over the years and always sold quite quickly. I never exaggerate the item. Always check existing for sales check their prices against my Item and price accordingly to opposition. Asking a fair price regarding age and condition, it took me 2 weeks to sell my Z900 Kawasaki. Buyer paid listed price which is what I expected. I did find it beneficial to pay for a premium advertisement $100 Show reply

I was able to sell my kids quad bike with ease via bike sales.com.au This is a site is for genuine buyers not id*ot time wasters that you get on the like of gumtree, marketplace etc. thank you. Show reply

Used to be a good app, used it to buy and sell. But it’s total garbage now, the app runs but search is broken on my iPad. There’s no way to report a problem because they don’t want to know about it. So it’s trash.

They send fake enquiries from Bikesales, not real buyers. Pathetic. You as they come through the same "im interested in your add" they remain unread and no reply when you try contact. Should be illegal.

They are simply terrible, charging fee for advertising for which you don't get a response and you ultimately was able to sell it on Facebook Market place with consistent enquiries.

The platform works well and the messaging function is useful. I believe the platform is OK so long as you don't have any issues. I had a problem a couple of years ago purchasing a vehicle and found to my surprise that there was no support at all. Thanks Show reply

Expensive asf and not a lot of traction for an elite level hyper bike in as new condition. Wouldn't pay them again. Got more from gumtree for free.

Seamless process from creating ad through to receiving and monitoring enquiries to completing the sale Show reply

lots of spam, very little genuine buyers. i listed waited 8 months then it sold

Not bad but very expensive although these days better than gumtree which is totally useless. My go to now is market place.

Being an aged motorcyclist, my Specialist said it was time to hang up my boots and sell my BMW. So I took my time and uploaded pictures of the bike that taken with my trusty Nikon DSLR together with a sub edited description of the motorcycle. My wife is a senior sub so the description was absolutely spot on. Within 24 hours I got a bite. The… Read more

would be buyer said he was working at a remote worksite in the Northern Territory. Well, seeing as the Territory is pretty remote area I accepted this at face value.

Then he said that the courier would only accept a BSB to BSB transaction and the matter would need to be via PayPal. I even received correspondences from PayPal, or so I thought.

I then contacted the buyer and said I'd check with PayPal. They told me it was a scam!

I next contacted the "buyer" and informed him what PayPal had said and he replied just send the money for the courier and he'd then fix it up with with PayPal.

So what are we talking about; the whole process was an attempt to rip me off.

What did I learn from this?:

1. Never give anything more than your account number and the bank's BSB number 2. Alway's speak to a person over the phone not just via an email address 3. If a person says "you can trust me" then obviously you can't trust them 4. Never ever send money to get a sale...it's just plain dumb 5. Always get them to inspect the motor vehicle.

That's what I learnt from using Bikesales and I'm now going to have the bike sold through a bike shop.

Oh, and for the record I didn't get ripped off and I didn't lose a cent except from the wasted $160 in advertising fees with Bikesales.

Look, there are some really bad people out there so be aware and don't trust anyone. It's a horrible world we live in and as a final note, the Nigerian lottery wins are making a comeback. Sigh!

Easy to use interface and messaging. Good stats and messaging Show reply

Hardly any enquiries in 2 months. Wouldn't use again. Facebook better.

Sold an extremely specialized motorcycle... the right buyer was found in the end via Bikesales. Thank you! Show reply
