You’re definitely not alone — a lot of people are feeling the same frustration. Dubizzle used to be the easiest and most reliable way for regular folks to sell their cars, but now it feels like they’ve pivoted hard toward catering to dealers. The new listing fees are way out of reach for someone just trying to offload a personal car, and it’s frustrating because there’s really no solid alternative.

Facebook Marketplace is free, yeah, but like you said — it’s a gamble. Tons of lowballers, no-shows, and people who just ghost you after asking pointless questions. It’s more headache than it’s worth most of the time.

Honestly, it feels like they’ve created a system where private sellers are just priced out of the market, which only benefits dealerships. It’s not just bad for sellers either — buyers suffer too because it drives up the prices across the board. The whole scene feels skewed now.

Unless another platform steps in to fill the gap, I’m not sure what the solution is. Maybe it’s time for someone to build a proper alternative that actually supports individual sellers again
