What’s the Catch? Nothing's for Free!
There are absolutely no catches. At UlsterTrader.com private sellers can advertise their cars for sale at no cost. In fact not only can private sellers advertise their cars for free but they can also upload nine high resolution photos of their car.
I tried to advertise a car part, but it was removed, why?
UlsterTrader.com’s web engine has been specially designed to offer car buyers and sellers the best online car market place in Northern Ireland. In order to maintain the integrity of our site we do not permit users to upload car parts and or car accessories.
How do I write a good advert?
Our market research indicates that the best way to sell your car quickly is to be honest and describe the car as accurately as possible. Of the potential buyers we surveyed over 92% said they would be more inclined to arrange to view or buy a used car if it had more than one photo. So remember to post as many high quality resolution images as possible and to include all the key information to give potential buyers an accurate picture of the car.
What’s an example of good photos to take?
Our exclusive car buyer’s survey suggests our users respond very positively to photos from certain car angles. Here are some examples of UlsterTrader.com users' pictures which rated highly in our recent car buyers' survey.

Why do you ask for the CO2 emissions?
UlsterTrader.com’s unique VRT Estimator combined with our extremely high levels of traffic from the Republic gives our users the advantage of reaching buyers throughout Ireland.
By stating the CO2 emissions potential car buyers from the South can use our VRT estimator to get a quick and simple idea of how much it will cost them to import the car into the South. To put it simply if you upload CO2 emissions you are increasing the number of target buyers and therefore increasing the chances of a quick sale!
