Will my email be displayed when I’m selling a car?

 

No, your email will not be exposed to anyone. Interested buyers will enter the message they want to send you and we will simply forward that to you keeping your email address hidden from them. But in case you receive some spam, you will always have an option in the email to report the abuse and PakWheels will take care of it.

How do I know these ads are genuine?

 

PakWheels makes a lot of effort to keep the ad data clean. All used car ads go through an approval process, in which our staff examines the content of each ad to see if all the details are in order. Also, after the ads are posted up on PakWheels, first-time sellers are contacted by phone and our admin staff verifies that the car ad details they provided are proper and genuine.

My forum topic has been moved/deleted. Why could this be so?

 

Your topic could have been deleted/moved because:

  • The content of your topic was against our terms of service (spam, explicit content etc.)
  • The content of your topic indicated to the mods that it belonged to some other category, thus, was moved to the right section.
