2. Prepare Your Listing

A compelling listing leads to faster sales and better offers. Here’s how to maximize impact:

• Include detailed descriptions, service records, and ownership history.

• Upload high-quality photos from multiple angles. Consider hiring a professional.

• Add PDF documents and a YouTube video—both are free to include.

• If filming a video, use your phone in landscape mode for the best viewing experience.

• Review the title transfer process in your state, and understand the steps if your vehicle has an outstanding loan.

• Be ready to respond quickly to buyer questions and requests.
   

⚠️ Important:

• Auction listings must be exclusive. Remove your listing from other platforms and do not accept outside offers.

• Auction and Fixed Price listings must remain on-platform. Do not include external links or websites in your listing, photos, or attachments.
   

3. Engage During the Sale

Engagement is crucial—especially for auction success. Responding to questions, sharing updates, and posting extra photos will build trust and increase bids.

• Use the “Questions and Answers” and “Contact Seller” features to interact with potential buyers.

• Promote your listing by sharing it on social media or in car enthusiast forums.
   

4. Finalize the Sale

Once the auction ends or a buyer clicks "Buy Now", we’ll connect you directly with the buyer. Both parties will receive each other’s contact information to coordinate payment, title transfer, and shipping.
 

🕒 Sellers are expected to complete transactions promptly after the listing ends.
