Hallo zusammen 👋
Ich wollte ein kleines Projekt, an dem ich gearbeitet habe, teilen und ehrliches Feedback von der örtlichen Community erhalten.
Ich habe vor kurzem gestartet autos.mtein auf Malta fokussierter Fahrzeugmarktplatz. Das Ziel besteht darin, es den Menschen hier einfach zu machen, alles, was mit Fahrzeugen zu tun hat, an einem Ort zu kaufen, zu verkaufen oder aufzulisten – nicht nur Autos, sondern auch Fahrräder, Transporter, Teile und sogar Kfz-Dienstleistungen.
Eine Sache, die ich anders machen möchte, ist, die Einträge beizubehalten kostenlos postensodass Einzelpersonen und Kleinverkäufer es problemlos und ohne Gebühren nutzen können.
Da es immer noch wächst, würde ich wirklich gerne Ihre Meinung hören:
• Fühlt sich so etwas für Malta nützlich an?
• Welche Funktionen würden Sie von einem lokalen Automarktplatz erwarten?
• Gibt es etwas Verwirrendes oder Fehlendes?
Dies ist nicht als Spam gedacht – ich möchte wirklich etwas Hilfreiches für die Community erstellen und Ihr Feedback würde mir sehr viel bedeuten.
Danke 🙂
I built a Malta-focused vehicle marketplace – would love your feedback

Good idea, but these platforms require thousands in marketing budget to constantly remind users to visit and use them, whereas everyone is already on Facebook Marketplace. Good luck!
You are not the first one to create a site like this, they all died a slow death.
Its difficult to compete with Facebook Marketplace.
Good idea! Good luck 🍀
Appreciate you’re keeping it free by using ads, but the ads mid listing are horrendous. The UX with all the ads on there is terrible.
Nice idea though! Keep the folks that list for “€0” or “free” away and might be less stressful than using marketplace
I think that the filters in „more filters“ should come up first. E.g. if i were looking for a second hand car I would most likely not have a brand as my staring point. the fuel type, age, even body type are, to me much more relevant.
cool site tho, when i was looking to buy a car i certainly visited as many sites as possible, not just marketplace. does your site agglomerate info from other sites? If so, like u/[kingoftheparsnips](https://www.reddit.com/user/kingoftheparsnips/), definitely filter out the 1 euro and free listings, they’re bloody annoying.
If you want to make it useful, ban all the €0, €123456, €FREE, €2000 Deposit listings.. Otherwise it’s just another garbage dump for shady dealers.
Try adding a filter for Diesel,Petrol , Hybrid or Electric vehicles.
The website seems okay from what I saw. Here’s my feedback:
1. As the other commentors said, ensure that people don’t write „€0/1/phone number“ as their selling price or some other number which is not the actual car price. This will result in potential buyers having to call the sellers to find out the price.
2. Measures to ensure that cars that are sold are removed by the seller from the website. An expiry date system could be useful. If not, maybe an annoying notification system that requires the owner to state that the car is still for sale. I see this a lot on FB’s Marketplace where people keep their listings up. I call them asking if it’s still available and they grumble a „No, it’s been sold“. Then remove it!!
3. Multiple listings. Don’t allow people to post multiple listings. Your system can be designed in a way to flag similar entries by the same posters.
4. A good reporting system and moderation.
5. Possibly asking sellers to verify their identity before posting anything.
6. Does the system cater for price reductions? As in, would it show the old price and the new price? Example… (strikethrough )€̶5̶0̶0̶0̶ – €4,500?
Finally, competing with FB Marketplace won’t be easy. People need to see the benefit of using your site over FB’s Marketplace.
Site looks very good! well done
