Start selling at CarTreat.com

To start selling follow these simple steps:
  • Create an account with CarTreat.com
  • Login onto your account. You will see your current profile, your ads (published, unpublished, and sold), questions from potential buyers.
  • Note, if you're a car dealer there are additional fields for you to put your dealership's contact information. To identify yourself as a dealer check the box "Are your a dealer?"
  • If you're selling more than 1 car, your car inventory will be automatically created
  • To create a new car ad click on "New Ad" menu
  • Enter the following information:
    • Vehicle Information. Select you car's make, model and year. Check the box if it's new. If you can't find your car fill in the form and we'll update our configuration.
    • Pricing Information. Enter your price here. In Price Comment field you can optionally enter price comments, for example "OBO", "ASKING", "FIXED", etc.
    • Location. Enter your 5-digit Zip-code.
    • Vehicle Features. Fill in as more details here as possible. This will help to sell your car better. If you car has a common feature which is not listed here, please let us know and we'll correct this.
    • Text. Enter short description of you car, model/submodel specifics, point your car's condition, for example - "Like new", "Runs great". List features that are not included automatically, for example "Custom shift knobs", "ski rack", "bike rack", etc. Try to make this description short. Remember, the longer the unnecessary text the less desire there is to read it.
  • After you submit your new ad you'll be redirected to your account page. You should see you car in "My Pending Advertisements" section. This means that you saved your ad, but it's not visible to other people yet.
  • To add images click "Images" link and add up to 9 pictures of your car. The images will be automatically organized into a gallery. Please remember that images should be of JPEG format and less than 200kb in size.
  • You can edit and preview your ad as much as you want
  • When your car ad is ready click "Publish" button. The ad will instantly become visible and searchable for all CarTreat.com visitors.
    If you'd like to pause but not delete your ad, click "UnPublish". If you sold your car, please click "Sold", don't confuse other people who might still be interested.
  • Feel free to ask us any questions and/or send your comments/suggestions. We are listening!
Happy car selling!
