What it costs to list a vac truck for sale

Listing on Vac4Sale is free. A Standard listing costs nothing, needs no card and runs 30 days with the full specification page, 20 photos and direct buyer contact; renewing it for another 30 days takes one click. Featured is the only tier that costs money — $150 a week or $500 a month — and it does not expire while the subscription is active. There is no commission on the sale at either tier.

Yes. A Standard listing needs no card, runs 30 days and carries the same specification fields, the same indexable page and the same direct buyer contact as a Featured one. It takes 20 photos, and there is no limit on how many you run at once — though publishing is rate-limited to 5 new no-charge listings per account per day, so a dealer loading standing inventory should get in touch rather than posting a fleet in one sitting. What it does not carry is the extra media or the placement: Featured takes 60 photos plus 3 walkaround videos and 5 spec sheets, and sits above the organic results. A Standard listing does not renew itself either — when the 30 days are up it comes off the site until you renew it, which takes one click because everything you entered is kept.

A Featured listing is pinned above the organic results everywhere it appears: the home page rail, the browse grid, its equipment category page and its state or province page. It also carries a Featured badge in the grid, and it is the only tier whose page can hold walkaround video and spec sheets — 3 videos and 5 PDFs alongside 60 photos. It does not affect how search engines rank the listing; what it changes is where a buyer already on Vac4Sale sees your truck. Featured placement is bought per billing period and stops when the subscription does.

No. Vac4Sale charges for the listing and nothing else. There is no commission, no success fee, no buyer's premium and no escrow charge, because Vac4Sale is not a party to the sale — the buyer contacts you directly and you agree terms with them. The price on this page is the entire cost of selling here.

After a person has read it. Every listing posted here is reviewed before publication — Standard and Featured alike — so paying does not skip the queue: a Featured listing clears payment first and then waits for the same check. Until it clears, the listing sits in your dashboard marked in review and is published nowhere, on Vac4Sale or on Hydrovac News. The review confirms the equipment is real, in a category this site covers, that the photographs match the description and that the contact details work; it is not an inspection or an appraisal.

Monthly is cheaper per day and weekly is easier to stop. Featured is the only tier that is billed at all, and it works out at $21.43 per day on the weekly plan against $16.67 per day on the monthly plan. Weekly suits a unit you expect to move fast or a price you are still testing; monthly suits standing dealer inventory and any machine likely to take more than a few weeks to sell. You can switch periods when a listing renews.

The listing comes off the public site, and everything in it is kept — photos, videos, documents, specifications and contact preferences. On a paid listing, marking it sold or removing it does two things at once: it takes the listing off Vac4Sale and Hydrovac News immediately, and it stops the subscription renewing, so you are not charged again. The days left in the period you have already paid for are not refunded, so leave a listing live until you no longer want inquiries. Mark it sold rather than removing it when the equipment has actually sold, so buyers can see the outcome. Starting again later means a new subscription from the sell page; a Standard listing is renewed in one click from the dashboard.

Yes, at both tiers. The two sites do not share a database — each keeps its own rows — but opting your listing into Hydrovac News replicates it there over an API, so it costs nothing extra and there is no second post to write. Both copies point at the same canonical page on Vac4Sale, so the two sites never compete with each other in search results for the same truck.

Payments are processed by Stripe. Vac4Sale never sees or stores your card number — the card details are entered on Stripe's own checkout page. Paid listings are recurring subscriptions, so they renew automatically until you stop them, and every charge emails you a Stripe receipt with the invoice attached. Need an older invoice, or to change the card on file? Email us and we will sort it out.

Yes — get in touch. The self-serve prices on this page are built for one listing at a time, and a dealer running standing inventory of a dozen or more units is a different conversation. Contact us with a rough unit count and how often it turns over, and we will come back with something that fits.
