Trader.co.uk supports Quick, Detailed, and Premium listings so sellers can choose the right level of detail per vehicle. Registration-first listing auto-populates key data, reduces manual input, and allows drafts to be saved and submitted when ready.
Sellers can manage multiple site locations, including addresses, opening times, and collection slot availability. Vehicles can be listed against the correct site, ensuring accurate buyer collection details. Location edits may trigger re-approval, while opening time updates do not.
For classified listings, sellers can review offers directly in the dashboard, accept, reject, or counter in one workflow. Offer history is tracked clearly, and when an offer is accepted the vehicle is marked as sold and all other offers are automatically cancelled.
Auction listings provide real-time bid updates, countdown timers, and clear status tags such as reserve met and highest bidder. Anti-sniping extensions apply near the end of the auction. Once the auction ends, the vehicle moves into the sold and payment workflow..
After payment, buyers book collection slots based on seller-defined availability. Collection is confirmed with a unique release code and handover terms acceptance. This reduces missed collections, improves handover consistency, and gives sellers a clear audit trail for every collection.
Sellers can access analytics to track listing volume, sell-through rate, and performance trends over time. This helps sellers optimise pricing, listing quality, and vehicle types. Analytics supports both high-volume sellers and smaller operators through clear summaries and reporting.
