Cost
mobile.de GmbH invoices you for services rendered in the previous month. Your costs are based on the package you have chosen, the average number of ads you have placed per package per day on mobile.de within a month and, if applicable, a surcharge of between 0 and 15 percent on your price scale, depending on the average asking price for your vehicles. (For more details, see the 'New mobile.de pricing model').
The monthly average is determined by recording the number of your ads and the average asking price for your vehicles on a daily basis. The basis for calculating the average asking price is the selected vehicle price including the VAT rate selected for the ad. If the asking price of a vehicle changes within a day, the highest asking price is used for the calculation. On the first working day of the following month, the sum of the ads identified for each day or the asking prices within a package is determined and divided by the number of days in the respective calendar month. The results are rounded to the nearest cent and invoiced according to the price scales displayed below. Ads without price information are not included in the calculation.
If there are more than 71 ads per package and month, each additional vehicle will be invoiced separately.
This price list is valid as of 1 April 2022.
The new mobile.de pricing model
The mobile.de pricing model consists of three components: The selected package, the number of ads posted and the average asking price for your vehicles.
The packages: You can choose between three different packages: the Compact, Comfort and Premium packages. These offer you a variety of different services to give you the best support for your vehicle sales.
The ads: Depending on the number of ads posted on a monthly average, you will be assigned a specific scale, as shown in the table below.
The vehicle price class: Depending on the average asking price for the advertised vehicles, mobile.de charges a surcharge of between 0 and 15 percent on your price scale. In vehicle price range A up to €19.999, there is no surcharge. In vehicle price range B – €20,000 to €29.999 – the surcharge is 5 percent, in price range C – €30,000 to €49.999 – the surcharge is 10 percent and in price range D – starting from €50,000 – the surcharge is 15 percent.
You can find a detailed explanation with examples here.
Price scales
The price scales are calculated according to the following table. The vehicle price class and/or the respective surcharge is calculated on the basis of the determined average asking prices (see the 'New mobile.de pricing model').

The calculation of your free contingents
Free contingents are contingents free of charge for Top Ads, Page-1-Ads and Eyecatcher Ads for dealers with Comfort- or Premium-Package. The number of free contingents you receive will be based on the basis of your ad averages for the last three active months and the resultant price scale. If your account was active for less than three months, we will calculate the average on the basis of active previous months. This means you can be certain of the number of your monthly free contingents at all times.
All prices are subject to VAT.
Top Ad: 6,00 € per vehicle/day (Free ad contingent for Comfort and Premium packages)
The Top Ad places your vehicle in the top slot of the search results pages, under the condition that your vehicle matches the potential buyer's search criteria. If more than three Top Ads match a search query, the top displayed ad is selected at random from all the matching booked Top Ads.
Besides top placement in the search results, the Top Ad for Desktop also displays an extra-large image and your contact information.
Cost stopper
The total monthly cost for the Top Ad will not exceed 600% of the net cost of your current price scale – no matter how many Top Ads you book.

Dealers with a Premium package receive four times the number of free Top Ads as the calculated price scale.
Dealers with a Comfort package receive double the number of free Top Ads as the calculated price scale.
Ad Turbo: 2,99 € per vehicle/day (Exclusive for Comfort and Premium packages)
When you use Ad Turbo, your ad is positioned higher up in mobile.de standard sorting, which means it will get more clicks.

Price security
For users of the standard account , the monthly costs of the Red Pen Price will not exceed a certain amount. You will pay a maximum of 90 percent of the net cost according to your price scale – irrespective of the number of Red Pen Prices displayed.
Premium Package customers get free use of the Red Pen Price.
Booking
You can use the Inventory List to activate or deactivate the Red Pen Price for individual vehicles or for the entire inventory at any time.
Terms
The red pen price will be displayed in the ad if you have advertised a vehicle at a specific price for at least 14 days, and then lower the price. It is based on the lowest overall price in the last 30 days or, once this period has passed, on the lowest overall price since placement of the ad. In the event of a gradual decrease in price, the overall price listed before reducing the price for the first time will be decisive. The price must have been reduced by at least 2 percent. Once there has been a valid price reduction, the red pen price will be displayed for 30 days.
Only the days on which the Red Pen Price is displayed are counted.
The Red Pen Price is automatically disabled when
- the last valid price reduction was made 30 days ago;
- the price is increased again;
- the ad is marked as new.
After each deactivation, a vehicle must be re-offered at a certain price at least 14 days before the price can be reduced again.
Legal Information
Price discounts may be impermissible under competition law in individual cases if
- a price reduction is feigned by first increasing and then reducing the price;
- the higher price is (was) only used to make the reduced price look particularly attractive ("unrealistic price").
Non-compliance with these rules may result in competitors or consumer protection associations serving you with a warning, the costs of which you will be liable for.
The above information is not a substitute for legal advice. If you have any further questions, please seek advice on the general legal regulations from a lawyer as appropriate.
