Not for your first one. Every free account can post 1 ad free. Browsing every listing, saving your favorites, and sending up to 2 messages a day are free too. If you want to post more than one ad, you will need an active membership, which lets you post as many ads as you like.
It is quick and affordable to join, and a membership usually pays for itself the first time you sell something. You can see the plans on our membership page.
There are two simple options:
Monthly - $9 per month. It renews automatically and you can cancel anytime.
Annual - $19 for a full year, paid once. It does not auto-renew, and it includes a free homepage feature for one of your listings, a $20 value on its own.
Most folks list a drone once or twice a year, so the annual plan usually works out to be the better value.
No, not at all. This only happens once you have already used your free ad. When you finish building your ad we save it for you before sending you over to join. As soon as your membership is active, your ad is waiting in your account ready to publish, with all of your photos and details exactly as you left them.
If you are on the monthly plan you can cancel anytime from your account page. Your membership stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and it simply will not renew after that.
The annual plan is a one-time payment, so there is nothing to cancel. It just does not renew at the end of the year.
Yes. Free accounts can send up to 2 messages per day to sellers. Become a member and you can message without any daily limit, which is handy when you are actively hunting for the right drone.
This could be due to one of two reasons:
1. The ad has not gone through our moderation process quite yet (remember, this can take up to 24 hours although typically it is much shorter).
2. Depending on the number of ads that are currently featured, you may not immediately see your ad on the DroneTrader home page. If there are a high volume of featured ads simply click on the DroneTrader logo in the top left corner of the page and the system will cycle through all the currently featured ads.
This is typically due to aggressive ad blockers that block DroneTrader listings from appearing. If you have a blank screen when you are viewing DroneTrader be sure to turn off any ad blocking software that you have installed on your computer.
This is typically due to an aggressive ad blocking software restricting ads from being displayed. We recommend using Google Chrome as a browser and be sure to turn off ad blocking software when browsing the DroneTrader site.

All of our ads are moderated prior to going live on the site.
With the rampant spamming that seems to plague many classifieds sites, we feel it is very important to screen the ads that are posted in an attempt to ensure a great user experience.
We may not be able to catch everything, but work hard at keeping ads relevant and spam free. Ads are typically approved within the hour but may take up to 24 hours to go live on our site.
If you ad has not appeared on the site please reach email [email protected] or reach out via Facebook messenger.
At this time DroneTrader is strictly a classifieds listing service for used drones and accessories.
We are not transactional at this time (meaning we do not accept or arrange payments between buyers and sellers) and all communication is done directly between the buyers and sellers.
Offering payment protection is something we are working on but do not expect to have this ready until later this year.
No, we do not sell drones, but only provide a free listing service for your used drones or drone related services. If you would like to purchase a new drone, please visit the drone shop directory listed here.
Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] with any questions or feedback. Alternatively you can reach us via messenger on our Facebook page.
We occasionally even send over Amazon gift cards as a thank you to those of you that offer suggestions on how to improve our site!
A DroneTrader verified seller is a seller who has an excellent track record of selling used equipment. Alternatively, it may be an established UAV (drone) vendor with a retail location or established online presence. Please contact [email protected] for further details.
Simply sign up to our DroneTrader newsletter list and be kept up to date regarding new feature releases, most popular listings and much more (don't worry, you can easily unsubscribe at any time!)
Absolutely, we welcome it!
Just be sure to mention what kind of damage your drone has (eg. Water damage, cosmetic damage only, crash damage etc) and be sure to give an accurate representation of the condition of your drone. There are lots of buyers in the DroneTrader network looking to pick up broken drones for parts or salvage.
Your first ad on DroneTrader is free, and members can post as many as they like. We moderate every ad to keep the marketplace relevant and spam free.
Here are some things we require in order for a moderator to approve an ad:
1. Upload at least one clear photo. 5-10 photos is preferrable. Ads with poor quality photos will not be approved.
2. Describe your item in detail. Be sure to include any damage, and things like flight time, accessories included, warranty remaining, and so on. The more pertinent details you include, the more likely buyers will trust your listing and contact you.
3. If your listing looks "shady", for any reason at all, we will not approve the ad. Please take some time to put together a proper listing that is relevant to buyers shopping for used drones.
4. Ads with only stock or manufacturer photos will not be approved. Please include actual photos of the items being sold.
(If you have any questions at all please reach us at [email protected] or via our contact page. Thank you!)
This can happen for several reasons:
1. Ads that are inappropriate, irrelevant, or against our Terms and Conditions may be removed from the DroneTrader network.
2. If we receive multiple reports that interested buyers are unable to contact the seller despite repeated attempts we will first reach out to the seller notifying them of the reports. If no reply is received from the seller we will remove the ad from the DroneTrader platform within 7 business days.
1. Click on your profile photo at the top of the page (the one right beside the "Post Ad" button)
2. Click on "My Ads"
3. Next, click on the 3 vertical dots that are located on the right hand side of the ad you would like to edit
4. Select "Edit Ad" ad and proceed to edit your listing details. Remember to click "Update" at the bottom of the page once you've completed your edits!
Local classifieds sites (Craigslist etc) are great, but provide no way of searching or listing specific drone models or series of drones.
For example, there is no way to search for "Phantom 4 series drones" specifically, and no way to target only specific manufacturers you are interested in purchasing from.
With local classifieds you are forced to wade through anything from car parts, to old couches, to boxes of used clothes. With DroneTrader.com: just drones!
Our goal with DroneTrader is twofold:
1) To provide the absolute easiest to use and free drone listing and shopping service out there and
2) To educate new and existing UAV owners about the world of drones (visit our DroneTrader blog here)
When selling used equipment it is important to list your items on multiple sites and locations. Facebook groups are great (we have one ourselves!), but they are often private groups and not indexed by Google (so someone Googling "Phantom 4 for sale" will not see a listing that is only posted in a private Facebook group).
Ebay is another great option to sell used equipment, but often buyers are hesitant to purchase used equipment online sight unseen. Ebay and similar sites also take a significant percentage of the sale as commission (DroneTrader listings are free!).
