I am trying to place an advert, why won't you accept my postcode?

We have a database of UK postcodes which gets updated regularly. This lets us calculate search distances.

When you're creating an advert, you may come across issues in entering your postcode if:

• You live in a new build property and the postcode isn't on our system yet
• The postcode isn't in the UK

If this is the case, you'll see a red error message saying 'Enter a valid UK postcode'.

How to fix this

• If you live in a new build, we'd advise that you choose another postcode close by. As a private seller, we don't show your exact location on the advert, so this will be fine.
• We can't post an advert without a valid UK postcode. If you live outside the UK, you'll need to use the postcode of the person selling your car in the UK.
