Buyer FAQ

Why was a hold/charge placed on my credit card?

When you place a bid on Cars & Bids, we put a hold on your credit card for the 4.5% buyer's fee based on your bid (minimum $225, maximum $4,500). This is a pending charge which is removed at auction end if you do not win the car, and within a few days will disappear from your card's transaction history. On the other hand, should you win, you will be charged at auction end.

Erik N.Aug 2022Probably the best experience I've had selling a car privately. The listing team was exceptionally helpful, and I had funds just 3 days after the auction ended. Great experience.
