As a potential used vans purchaser, I am very interested in some of the vans for sale on usedcommercials.com. If I purchase one of these used vans am I liable to pay usedcommercials.com for the advert?
No. The seller pays for the advertising of any commercial vehicles on the site. As a potential used vans purchaser it is completely free of charge for you to browse the vans for sale on this site and regardless of whether you purchase or not you are not responsible for any advertising costs.

I am browsing through the used trucks section and see some trucks for sale which interest me. Do I contact used commercials or do I contact the seller directly?
You should contact the seller directly. The sellers contact details will be displayed with the advert. If the used commercials dealer has their own website there will also be a link to this where you will be able to view other trucks for sale which they have in stock.

What is the best way for me to make contact with the dealer?
There is no right answer to this; it will depend on the circumstances. Most people find a phone call to be the best way to make an enquiry to a used commercial vehicle dealer although, of course, some sellers may not appreciate a phone call at 2am on a Sunday expressing interest in some trailers for sale! Therefore, the best option at this time may be to send an email using the contact this seller section on each advert. All adverts will generally have a phone number, mobile number and email contact details, so it will be entirely up to the potential buyer to choose which is best for them.

I am a used vans dealer in Ireland. I want to place an advert for my vans for sale, but one of the makes and model is not listed?
At used commercials we try to keep our system as up to date as possible. Although with new makes and models of vans for sale being introduced continually it may be possible that we have not come across the make or models of some used vans to date. If this scenario arises, please contact us and we will add the details of your vans for sale to the system as soon as possible. This also applies to tucks for sale, buses for sale and trailers for sale, so if this scenario arises in either of these categories, do not hesitate to contact us.

I have a bus company based in Southern Ireland. When searching for buses for sale I am presented with many buses for sale in the UK which do not interest me as I do not want to travel that far to make a purchase. Is it possible to eliminate these buses from my search?
Yes. Usedcommercials.com is designed to make the searching process as easy as possible for users. Under the location category you can refine your search of buses for sale to different geographical regions. In this instance you should change the search location to ROI only. Therefore this will present you with a list of buses for sale in Southern Ireland only. This location refining option also applies to vans for sale, trucks for sale and trailers for sale.

I am browsing through the used trucks in search for a rigid truck, but have to go through pages of tractor units also which do not appeal to me, can I avoid this?
Of course you can. At used commercials we try to keep your search results as precise to your search as possible. When you select the trucks for sale category and choose a make, model, location etc. you will be brought to the results page. Here you will be presented with a list of used trucks for sale. This list will include all used trucks including tractor units and rigid. At the top of this page you will see some more search categories to help you further refine your used trucks search.

Do used commercials advertise commercial vehicles from all over the world?
At the moment used commercials is set up for advertisers of used commercials from the United Kingdom and Ireland only. Although regardless of this, usedcommercials.com can be viewed from anywhere in the world and therefore potential customers of these used trucks etc. may be from other parts of Europe or the rest of the world. This is very likely considering many of the trucks for sale and vans for sale in UK and Ireland are being exported daily.
Can I advertise my car for sale on usedcommercials.com?
No, usedcommercials.com does not accommodate for cars for sale at all. The site is set up for the sale of commercial vehicles only. There are numerous websites available at the minute for advertising cars and for that reason we have decided to specialise in commercial vehicles only. We felt there was a requirement for such a search facility and feel that usedcommercials.com is what many people have been waiting for in recent years.

I am a seller of used vans and have not yet set up my account with usedcommercials.com. Do I need to arrange an appointment with someone from used commercials to set up the account before advertising my vans for sale?
No, everything is done online. The process of setting up an account is very simple and can be carried out from your own desk and in your own time without an appointment. You will be able to complete the process and begin advertising your used vans immediately. If you have a number of vehicles advertised on the website there will be an option of ‘view all from this seller’. Therefore if a potential customer comes across one of your vehicles they may select ‘view all from this seller’ and be presented with a list of all your vehicles for sale. You may also upload a company logo to be displayed with each of your vehicles.

I’m starting up a bus company and am searching through the buses for sale section on your site. I see some buses for sale which interest me, but the prices seem quite high. Are these prices negotiable?
As usedcommercials.com act only as a hub for people to advertise their used commercials for sale we have no control over the prices of the buses for sale presented to you in your search. Although, we would assume that the price of all used commercials for sale on our website is negotiable and would therefore advise you to make an offer and haggle on the prices of the buses for sale. The seller may not always be willing to negotiate on price but it’s worth a try.

I am a private seller and want to advertise my used vans for sale. As I am not familiar with the selling prices of used vans, do used commercials provide me with guide selling prices for which I could advertise my vans for sale at?
No, used commercials do not provide guide selling prices for used vans or for any other commercial vehicles for sale on the website. The reason for this is because two vans for sale which are the same make, model and year can vary greatly in price according to items such as mileage and general condition.
We would suggest you search vans for sale and refine your search to match used vans similar to that of which you want to sell. From this you will be able to see how much similar used vans are being sold for and this should give you a good guide price to place against your vans for sale.
Another factor to watch out for when searching for a guide selling price is location. It may seem strange, but quite often you will find that the selling price of certain vehicles may vary in different regions. For example you may find if you search vans for sale in Northern Ireland only, the selling prices may be slightly higher than that of similar vans if you search UK only. Therefore you should search within your local region for a more true reflection of a guide selling price.

Does used commercials take any part in the negotiations when buying or selling a vehicle on the site?
No. Used commercials plays no part in any negotiations relating to the buying or selling of any vehicles advertised on the website. The site is primarily a base which focuses on bringing buyers and sellers together. We let potential buyers view the types of vehicles which are on offer, however any dealings which take place between the buyer and seller hereafter is between themselves.

I see from searching other vehicles on your site that some dealers have a company logo placed beside their advert. I am a private seller and do not have a logo, what do I do about this?
You will have no need to worry about this at all. If you are a private seller, or perhaps a dealer who does not have a logo, we will automatically place a default logo into this space.
I am a commercial vehicles dealer and have been advertising my stock on your site for some time now. My account is already up and running, but we have been giving our company a new image and have changed our company logo. Is it possible for me to replace our existing logo to the new one?
Yes, this will not be a problem. If you log into your account and go to company details you will be able to edit or change any of your company details including your company logo.
We hope you have found the above information to be informative. If you have any further questions which you feel we have not covered in the above Frequently Asked Questions, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will answer your question as soon as possible.

I am a private seller and have been advertising two trucks for sale on used commercials for two weeks now. I am beginning to think that my asking price is a little high. Can I lower this asking price without having to place a new advert?
Yes, very easily. Like, when editing account details, log into your seller account. When logged in you will see your current used trucks adverts in a list. If you click on the ‘Edit Ad’ on the right hand side you can lower the asking price of your trucks for sale. You can also edit text etc. also.

I have been advertising some used vans for sale on the site. One particular van for sale sold straight away and I am continuously receiving enquiries about it. Is there any way of taking this advert off the website before my monthly subscription expires?
Yes, if you log into your seller account you will see a list of your current used vans adverts. You can click on the delete button at the side of the van you refer to. You may want to click on the ‘view this ad’ button first to be sure you are about to delete the correct advert.

If I advertise my trucks for sale on used commercials, how long do my adverts last?
When you make a payment to used commercials for advertising your used trucks for sale, you are buying a one month subscription on the site rather than an advert. Therefore if you pay for one month, the used trucks adverts will last for one month until they expire. Generally dealers will have a subscription which will be ongoing, so therefore they will make a payment each month, for a selected bundle, and will therefore continuously have this number of available adverts for their trucks for sale.

What are the various ‘Advert Bundles’ available for sellers to purchase when selling commercial vehicles?
There are a number of advert bundles available for buyers to choose from. For instance a private seller selling their own used buses can purchase a 1 advert bundle. This will entitle them to one advert on usedcommercials.com for a period of one month. But on the other hand a used trucks dealer with one hundred trucks for sale on average may select the 100 advert bundle which will entitle them to 100 advert spaces on the site.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
The advert bundles available to used commercials sellers are as follows:
1 advert bundle
5 advert bundle
10 advert bundle
25 advert bundle
50 advert bundle
100 advert bundle
If you have more than 100 vehicles which you would like to place with us contact us at sales@usedcommercials.com for further information.

What are the costs involved with advertising my trucks for sale?
This will depend on the number of used trucks you wish to advertise with us. We have created a table showing guide prices for each of the advert bundles mentioned above. If the number of adverts you require falls between two of these categories, speak to us and we will arrang a quote for you. This table of guide prices can be found by clicking the link below.

If I have a large number of used trucks for sale and will be paying the subscription every month to advertise my used trucks, will I receive any discount, or does each advert cost me the same as a one off user?
You will receive discount according to the number of used trucks etc. you are advertising. The pricing of each bundle has been set that as the number of adverts in each bundle increases, the cost per advert decreases. For example, a 10 advert bundle will cost £50 for a one month subscription, leaving each advert costing £5.00, where as a 100 advert bundle will cost £150 per month, leaving the cost of each advert only £1.50, which is significantly less expensive. Therefore the cost of advertising against each of your used trucks for sale is greatly reduced.

Is there a limit to the number of photos I can upload when advertising my used vans for sale?
You can upload up to 10 photographs when placing your used vans adverts. Just remember to take your pictures of the vans for sale landscape, as opposed to portrait, to ensure they will be displayed properly in the advert.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
When advertising my used vans for sale, what are the different payment options available for me to pay for the advert bundle?
You can make payment for your used vans advert bundle using credit cards or a paypal account. If you are planning on advertising your used vans for sale on a regular basis on the site, it may be easier for you to set up a standing order. To do this you will need to contact our sales team to get everything in place. If a standing order is set up you will not have to worry about making payments online and your selected number of adverts will always be available in your account.

I am a used commercials dealer in Ireland offering trucks for sale. I do not want to make monthly payments for my subscription, therefore is it possible for me to make an annual payment for this?
Of course you can. At used commercials we would be more than happy to take an annual payment up front from you. In fact we may be able to offer you a discount on your subscription if you wish to pay in this way. We find that many dealers prefer to make a one off annual payment in this way to ensure their used trucks for sale adverts never expires and saving them the time and energy of going through the payment process every month.

The technology used within this website will automatically make any adjustments to your photographs, leaving the process much more simpler for you.

No, not directly. We have some involvement with the organisers of the show and came to an agreement for them to distribute some flyers for us.
