Gumtree failure, where to next?

Spoiltsport

Hello all I have only just joined to get some advice.
I listed my renault clio about this time last week on Gumtree but have failed to sell it.
I got :
3 offers from what I think are dealers trying their luck.
4 scam artists
0 phone calls
So now I am at the point of willing to pay to sell but want serious buyers. My question is where am I more likely to sell a Clio for £2500?.. AutoTrader or Pistonheads?

Or eBay.... Classified or buy now listing might produce some leads at least.
Piston heads is a forum right? So would have a limited audience of genuine purchasers.

What's the spec?

By the way, gumtree is often a fail for selling most things. But being free its usually worth a punt at least alongside a real sales platform

Local Facebook selling pages?
There's about 10 for my local area.

Its a 2006 mark 3 clio, eBay I always thought was equivalent if not worse than Gumtree? Pistonheads has a classified section where you list an ad.

I tried searching for London based page and found a page but its pretty much dead in the water.

I wouldn't say eBay is worse than Gumtree, I tried listing a motorbike on Gumtree a few times and didn't get anywhere but sold it the first time I listed on ebay. It was a bit lower than I had hoped for but the fees weren't too bad and the buyer was good, absolutely no hassle at all.

Thanks John, see thats what I am trying to understand. Where would I get maximum coverage and is a guaranteed sale for the right price. Is ebay suitable for a 8 yr old small hatch? In comparison to Autotrader and piston heads.. what do you reckon?


note: apologies to the responders above for failing to thank you but I appreciate the replies

Do you have a link to the advert- maybe we could see it and advise you on how to improve it/make it more attractive.

Thanks, excellent idea. Hadnt thought I may be going wrong somewhere. I dont seem to be allowed to paste links as I am a new user.
Go to the gumtree website. Type in 'Clio mark III' in london and my ad should show up

Is your the advert with pictures all taken at night time?

Decent pictures and a sensible price, And if the cars in good condition with a decent service history it will sell easily.

Had no issues with ebay myself.
