Pagination is Fixed!!!

Thank you for the fix, broken pagination was painful

Dr MB

Mercedes-Benz great place to buy them and SELL

Pagination Broken

Please fix your scrolling pagination issue on live auctions. You have 1500+ auction but can only see the first 30 or so is pointless

App needs a major redesign

App truly sucks

The auctions never load no matter how many times you refresh

When you pick out the years it never shows you all the cars in those years so you end up missing a few

Great app with one important flaw

I love the BaT app and use it every day. However I have noticed that routinely, the app will omit will often omit periods of time such that comments and bids are not updated. Not only are they not shown in real time, which is a problem if I’m bidding on something, but the comments and bids sometimes NEVER show up and more recent ones simply start showing up. This means any time I really want to bid on something I have to be at a computer. Would be great to rectify this to improve functionality.

Fix some bugs

I go to view all auctions and it only lets me view a few and it won’t let me keep scrolling. Fix this

Scrolling Issues After Recent Update

I am having issues with scrolling through listings since the most recent update. I am unable to see more than 40-50 listings before getting a message to go back to top. Current listings are around 1240 but can’t see them anymore.

Window Shopping. BEWARE

Window shoppers STOP go no further BEWARE
You WILL find a great car that you don’t need
Happening to someone else HERE right now

Horrible Timing

With an hour left when I was just outbid the app stopped letting me login.

Stupid comment scrolling

Unfortunately this app still has a scrolling issue in the comments. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app but it is still awful. You’re better off using a browser.

Auctions are NON STOP

A great platform with so many options for the Automotive Enthusiast! Something for everyone.

The good old days…

I remember when BAT was a website rather than a “fancy” app. Sure it had some quirks but it worked. This app consistently freezes and has issues scrolling. If I didn’t love the cars and the comments so much I would have never continued using the app. I stayed on the website as long as I could but its performance is now worse than the app.

App Sucks

Locks up after you
page-up.

Great app BUT….

I like this app but the most recent version as of July 11/26 has issues. When trying to view comments, it frequently scrolls back to where it started and when you finally to get to the bottom, it frequently freezes requiring a reload.

Better then intercourse

This app is just way to good

10/10 Would highly recommend!

Great experience. Fast support response. Well curated post.

Scrolling

When scrolling through comments, every time it loads more it loses its place. Started happening after last release.

Buyers are not obligated to complete purchase.

I listed my truck on Bring A Trailer last month and the auction was completed with a winning bid that met the reserve price. The vehicle was sold. However, the buyer became unresponsive immediately following the sale and to date, nearly a month later, Bring A Trailer has made no meaningful attempt to contact the buyer or resolve the situation.

Since the auction closed, I have reached out repeatedly via email and the Bring A Trailer chat platform. The responses I have received are infrequent, approximately every other week, and consist solely of a representative named Krystin directing me to contact the support email. That support email has not responded to me since the day I originally submitted my vehicle listing.

Bring A Trailer has failed to:

- Contact the non-responsive buyer on my behalf
- Refund the auction listing fee I paid
- Remove my listing so I can relist the vehicle on another platform

It has now been nearly a month since the auction closed with zero resolution. Beyond the financial impact, this situation has caused significant time loss and emotional burden.

Any, Any Vehicles

The only thing that is bad for a person who is considered to sell with BaT!!! Absolutely nothing,

Love BaT, but the App Does Not Work

Literally not one single feature of this app works for me. It’s been a whole week and I cannot use anything. Needs a major update. I am better off using the website.
