I do enjoy DoneDeal but find so many scammers since I have been selling products. So I think there should be more security as far as sales are concerned.
Brilliant app though.

Thanks for the kind words about the app — really glad you enjoy using it.

You're right that scammers are a frustration, and we take it seriously. They're very much the minority, but we know even one bad experience is one too many. Please report any suspicious messages directly through the app so our team can act on them quickly.

We're always working to improve security on the platform. If you'd like to chat through anything, we're at hello@donedeal.ie. And given how you feel about the app itself, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.

I asked to see the lowest priced car and I was shown nothing but sponsored ads (presumably people who have paid you) and cars from another country. I will stick to Carzone, who actually show what I ask for. I feel like I just see essentially SPAM when I’m on your site.

Sorry to hear the search experience let you down — you should be seeing what you asked for, not just sponsored results.

We'll make sure this feedback gets to the right team. In the meantime, if you use the filters to set a price range and location it can help cut through the noise. If you're still not getting what you need, drop us a line at hello@donedeal.ie and we'll take a look.

Sorry to hear that — dealing with scammers is frustrating and we completely understand why it knocks your confidence in the platform.

Unfortunately bad actors exist on any open marketplace, but they're very much the minority. Please report any suspicious messages directly through the app so our team can act on them.

If you're selling a vehicle, looking at enquiries from Trusted Dealers can also help filter out the noise. We're at hello@donedeal.ie if you need any help.
