I am a car exporter in Japan. I am Canadian, and have an internet reputation. Many dealers that use tradecarview sell poor quality cars or just take people's money.
Its true that tradecarview has the escrow service that will reduce people's fears, but only big dealers can afford to hold up their assets. Many good, but small, dealers don't use tradecarview because its like a mafia, and they pressure you into high fees for selling (according to some dealers I have spoke with that used tradecarview for a short time).
My company doesn't use tradecarview. I work hard to keep my company reputation positive. I have many reviews on other car websites. This is the sign of a good dealer; reviews on forums. Please do your research before buying.
Cheers
