Winning a Bid

Congratulations — here’s what happens step by step after you win an auction, from invoice to delivery.

1

You’re notified you won

When the countdown ends and you hold the highest valid bid above any reserve, the listing is marked sold to you and you receive a confirmation by email.

2

Review your invoice

Your invoice lists the winning bid, the buyer commission, and any applicable shipping or title fees, with the total due and the payment window.

3

Complete payment on time

Pay using one of the accepted methods before the deadline shown on the invoice. See the Payment Process page for details.

4

Paperwork & release

Once payment clears, title and release paperwork is prepared so ownership can transfer to you.

5

Delivery or pickup

Choose nationwide delivery or arrange pickup. If transport is booked, you’ll get a tracking code to follow on Track Delivery.

After the Win

How long do I have to pay?
The payment window is stated on your invoice. Paying promptly keeps your delivery on schedule.
What if the reserve wasn’t met?
If a reserve price wasn’t reached, the vehicle may not sell. You’ll be notified and can be contacted if the seller chooses to accept the high bid.
Can I still get delivery if I won?
Yes. Delivery is available nationwide and is arranged after payment clears.

Next step

Understand how payment works.
