Getting started

How eRideList works

Four steps, whether you're buying, selling, hiring out or offering a service — free, with no fees or commission at any point.

1. Post your ad — or just browse

Buying is free and needs no account: use Browse Ads to search by category, state, price and distance. To sell, hire something out, offer a service, or list something free or wanted, create a free account and go to Post an Ad. Pick your category — e-bike, e-scooter, electric car, and so on — then pick your Offer Type: For Sale is the common case, For Hire lists something to rent out, Service is for a repair, install or other service business, Free is for giving something away, and for cars there's also Wreck (parts or non-running) and Wanted — a buy request, for when you're the one looking rather than selling. The form only asks for the details that matter for what you picked.

2. A person reviews it

Every new ad is checked by a real person before it goes live — usually within a day. This keeps the listings genuine and catches anything that shouldn't be posted before a buyer ever sees it. You can track the status from My Ads.

3. Chat, right here

A buyer messages you straight from the listing, and the conversation lives in your eRideList Inbox — arrange to inspect the item, ask questions, or agree a price. Keeping it on-platform gives you a record of what was said if anything is ever disputed later, which an off-platform chat app can't.

4. Meet, inspect, and complete the deal yourselves

eRideList doesn't handle payment or delivery — you agree the details and complete the sale, hire or service directly between yourselves, the same as any classifieds marketplace. See Common Scams & Fake Trades for how to meet and pay safely, and Rules & Battery Safety for what sellers of e-bikes and e-scooters need to declare.
