How it works

Simple for buyers. Serious about sellers.

Everything you need to know before you buy or sell on Adventure Trader.

Buying

  1. 01

    Search with filters

    Narrow down by category, province, price, year, condition and seller verification level.

  2. 02

    Check the badges

    Look for mobile, identity, documents and verified-dealer badges on the seller's profile.

  3. 03

    Ask the right questions

    Request service history, registration papers, NATIS or SAMSA documents and the VIN or hull ID number.

  4. 04

    Inspect before you pay

    View the item in person or book an independent inspection. Never pay a deposit sight unseen.

  5. 05

    Arrange transport

Selling

  1. 01

    Create a free account

    Sign up with your email and verify your SA mobile number.

  2. 02

    Get verified

    Upload your ID and a selfie in the verification centre. Verified sellers attract more serious buyers.

  3. 03

    List your item

    Add clear photos, an honest description and ownership documents. Basic listings are free.

  4. 04

    Boost if you want

    Featured listings, homepage promotion and urgent-sale badges help you sell faster.

  5. 05

    Close the deal safely

    Accept payment by EFT that has cleared in your account before releasing the item and its papers.

Dealers

Registered businesses can apply for the verified dealer badge by submitting a CIPC certificate and bank confirmation letter, then choose a monthly package for multiple listings, a dealer page and lead statistics.

Adventure Trader applies identity, listing and fraud-prevention checks, but buyers must still conduct appropriate inspections and due diligence.
