Thanks

Never used the site. Dodgy looking layout though, hardly professional.

Looking up the info on the site it says:
Created on: 2013-08-15 Updated on: 2013-08-16 Expires on: 2015-05-10
Very new site that isn't registered for very long. Plus it seems to have been set up by an individual, not a company.

Not used it personally yet, but they do have a Facebook page (this is how I firsst heard about them) where you may be able to find out more info on how good they are and how well others have done.

From their Facebook page:

"Online Car Booty We've been going 3 months now and it's getting a lot busier, With everyones help we will have created a new way to buy and sell online. Still in our early days but we get 1000's of Buyers on a Sunday and lots of stalls. Hope you can all join us."

The site was created on the 15th August 2013 so not sure how they managed 3 months...

They over 5,000 likes on the page, but it's very easy to get fake likes. Not a great deal of comments on the page and most are saying they don't get how it works.

Not saying it is dodgy, but I wouldn't use it.

Hi all,

The site is not dodgy - it is actually pretty good. Open every Sunday, unlike ebay etc it does not have any fv fees so good for selling bigger things. Payments through Paypal just the same.

I give it a :staradmin

Even if not dodgy in a take your money and run way, it's still a dodgy layout..

Ebay is live 24/7, has a much wider market, auctions and a much better layout even with pointless changes, plus you can view things at any time and every item listed has a price unlike online car booty.

Technically there are fv fees because Paypal take fees. There are still fees anyway even if you don't sell anything and they charge buyers too if they want to look early.

You give it one star?

No idea. There's been a few posts about this site, not sure if this was even the newest one.

Noted only for their incessant spamming, so definitely a site to avoid if they can't get users legitimately.

Just did a quick google search. No well known review sites came up when searching for reviews on them.

What did come up was an app page for the site where it has 5 star reviews from a grand total of 5 people. Usually a sign that someone is creating fake reviews. Only 3 commnets it seems two of which are called Stephen which is a little odd as well.

They have just over 18000 likes on Facebook. Considering the lack of information/reviews online and how long the sites been going it suggests that they're buying likes.
