Bids come in two ways. Buyers who have set up their prices bid within the first few minutes, and the rest bid after they look at your car. So a quiet board in the first minutes doesn’t mean nobody wants it.
While you wait
Your board says bids are on the way and updates by itself. We tell you by text or email when a new bid takes the top spot, and on a listing that takes bids for a day or longer, again before bidding closes. So you don’t need to keep the page open.
Why a car can get few or no bids
- Buyers near you bid by hand. Some buyers don’t set prices for instant bids. They look at each car first, which takes longer.
- Buyers choose which cars they want. A buyer can skip cars without a clean title, cars older than a certain year, some makes and models, or cars with certain problems. They can still find your car, but they may not bid on it.
- A buyer’s prices may not cover your car. A buyer may have no price set for your kind of car, or a price that comes to nothing for its answers.
If your listing closes with no bids
If no bids are standing when bidding closes, your listing closes and we tell you. You can put it back on the board for free with one tap, within 30 days and up to three times, and you can tell us why you didn’t take a bid. “I did not get any bids” is one of the answers, and our team sees it.
You can also open “Need help? Message BeaterBoss” on your board and ask us.
