DoneDeal.ie Reviews 1,042

DoneDeal used to be the go-to place for buying and selling secondhand items. Unfortunately, it now feels like the platform has shifted its focus almost entirely toward pushing higher-priced motor trade advertising. If you’re searching for cars, you’ll mostly find dealership listings rather than the genuine private 1-to-1 sales that originally made DoneDeal popular. It’s a real shame to see what the platform has become — though maybe not surprising from the company behind Daft.

Ridiculously overpriced to place an ad for sale.... The price goes up the more expensive your car is....Then to boost it's nearly the price of the ad all over again. I hope someone creates another company and puts ye out of business.

Good site good sellers

Spent almost €100 placing a car ad. Supplied tax registration document number so that Greenlight verification would appear. So, Greenlight appeared - that is until I edited the ad a few days later. The Greenlight disappeared and a message appeared on my ad “We are unable to display any history due to insufficient information provided by the seller” Basically that was telling any potential buyers that I didn’t supply details to give the Greenlight verification - which is a lie.
Once I noticed it I queried it with Donedeal.ie and a ‘Roberto’ replied that “manual edits to your ad will cause the greenlight verification to drop from your ad.

Nowhere did the site mention this. Greenlight, in fact, is only mentioned once in their terms, and nothing to do with editing the ad.

I had to send photos of the Reg. document and Greenlight was re-instated. However, I’d lost two weeks approx. of it being on my ad, and saves didn’t increase.

Roberto informed me too that “greenlight verification is a free feature that is not part of the price to pay for ads”

So all in all, for almost €100, I feel robbed by Donedeal as they removed a feature they supplied during the listing process - obviously to make people buy a €25 report on the car. (By the wording I mentioned above that they ADDED to my ad about insufficient information)

Great app to navigate. But a recent update has taken away the option to select Ulster, Munster etc and only individual select Monaghan, Tyrone Donegal etc is not great (just my opinion) as before you could select Ulster and it covered all counties in Ulster or which ever province you wanted to select. Pricing for ads is good

Easy to use app and with little delay, I trust this service.

Excellent 👍

Effective and reliable

Using done deal to buy/sell cattle is a terrible experience, nothing but dealers on it with cattle with 3 and 4 moves, not many genuine farmers selling anymore. Also had an ad up on done deal last year for cattle, paid nearly €20 for it and only got 1 phone call, had animals advertised for 1500 each and they made from 1480 to 1700 at the mart so I was actually under pricing them, terrible service and would never advertise again. Only reason I haven’t left a review before this is that I haven’t seen a place to leave a review. Way too expensive and no competition

Sell nothing off it I put up a car on it and ye put up all wrong details I emailed ye nothing back

Gone very expensive remember when started from 5e per add
