Bidding closes at the time your answer to “How fast do you want it gone?” gave: an hour after you list for ASAP (10 AM if you listed before 8 AM), or 10 AM the next day, where your car is, for By tomorrow. Your bids still stand for a day after that, and you can take one. If you don’t, your listing closes at the end of that day: the bids end, the buyers are told, and we text or email you with a link back to your board. If no bids are standing when bidding closes, your listing closes right then.
Putting it back on the board
Your board offers Put it back on the board. It is free, like the first time, and bidding runs on your answer’s clock again, counted from when you put it back up. Bids that were still standing when it closed come back, the buyers near you can bid again, and any buyer you passed on stays out.
You can put a car back up within 30 days of its listing closing, and up to three times.
If you cancelled a deal
If you took a bid and then cancelled the deal before pickup, your listing ends and your board says you cancelled the deal. Unless you said you sold it somewhere else, your board offers Put it back on the board, the same way. The bids that still stand come back, except the one you cancelled, and that buyer can bid again like anyone else. Your board doesn’t ask why you didn’t take a bid, since you took one. Taking a bid explains cancelling.
Why didn’t you take a bid?
Your board also asks, in one tap, why you didn’t take a bid: the bids were too low, you sold it somewhere else, you decided to keep it, the pickup times were too far out, you didn’t get any bids, or something else. If the bids were too low, you can tell us what you would take for it, if you like. Our team sees your answer with your listing. If you say you sold it somewhere else or decided to keep it, your board no longer offers to put it back up.
Taking your car down early
While your listing is open, two links at the bottom of your board close it early:
- I sold it somewhere else closes your bids for good. The car can’t be put back on the board after this.
- I no longer want to sell closes your bids too, and you can put the car back up later.
Each asks you once to make sure, and the buyers with bids are told the car is off the market.
Once you have taken a bid, these links are gone, and Cancel this deal takes their place until the car is picked up. If you need to change something else, message our team.
