When you find the bid you want, press Take this bid. You’ll find it on the top card, on each bid when you open it and in your messages with that buyer. Pressing it doesn’t take the bid yet: first you pick a pickup time.
Picking the time and booking
You can book the time on the bid or any later time the buyer has open, up to a week ahead. The times are grouped by day, and the bid’s own time is marked “Their bid’s time”. Then type the street address where the car is, and a note for the driver if you like, and press Book. Booking is what takes the bid, and by booking you’re saying the car matches what you told us. Booking your pickup time has the details.
If the time you picked passes while you are on the page, nothing is taken, and you are asked to pick another time.
What happens to the other bids
Taking a bid closes your listing. The other bids leave your board, and the other buyers are told the car went to another buyer. You don’t need to pass on the bids you didn’t take: they simply end.
Your board then shows your pickup, with ways to message or call your buyer.
When you can take a bid
You can take a bid at any time while bidding is open, and for a day after bidding closes. After that your listing ends and no bid can be taken, but you can put the car back on the board for fresh bids.
If you change your mind
Until the car is picked up, your board has a Cancel this deal link with your pickup. It asks why you are cancelling: the buyer didn’t work out, you sold it somewhere else, you’re keeping it, or something else, and you can add a note. Keep it is the safe choice, and Cancel the deal goes ahead.
Your buyer is told and isn’t charged, and your listing ends. Unless you sold the car somewhere else, your board then offers Put it back on the board. The other bids that still stand come back, but not the one you cancelled, though that buyer can bid again like anyone else. There’s no way to switch straight to another bid without cancelling first.
