Solid idea! Like others I’m surprised about all the negative comments. I have sold a car a couple of weeks ago and have to say the whole process was really good. I got more than the typical car max quotation and I feel like the buyer also got a good deal. Win win! Their onboarding process takes some time, but if you’re not in any rush this is a great place to sell a car! Customer service was always there for both me and the buyer!

CA DMV tops their customer service I started using the site as a buyer and made a few bids on csrs that interested me but unfortunately, I was not the winning bidder. As an anthusiast, I buy cars where ever I find them, enjoy them from a couple of months to max one year and sell them to get something else. I "applied" to sell a couple of my cars a month apart similar to what the C&B site sold a few weeks prior. In both cases, my cars were rejected with the same "boiler plate" response I assume everyone gets. I replied to get more information about the criteria given two other similar vehicles recently sold on their site and simply got no responses after that. When a business with such bad reviews completely 'ghosts' responses from potential sellers and does not assist buyers as the reviewers claim, it makes sense to be cautious about listing or buying. My guess is they are doing very well to not care about customer service.

Cars & Bids (C&B) is an auction site Cars & Bids (C&B) is an auction site. I purchased a vehicle at auction and was charged a commission of 4.5% on Nov6. On Nov 11 i traveled 500 miles to San Diego to inspect the vehicle. The seller refused to allow me to drive the vehicle. Instead the seller took me for a drive in the vehicle. The seller represented that the vehicle had just been serviced and was in perfect condition. I discovered otherwise. Vehicle dashboard lights were flickering and seat massage functions did not work in the Mercedes S560. The vehicle may have had other issues but without driving i could not determine that. The seller's comment was "well you are not a real buyer". I walked away from the deal and C&B refused to refund the $2925.00 they charged to my credit card. How can an auction company keep a commission for a transaction that did not go thru? If a seller misrepresented what was being sold and is dishonest i am not going to purchase the vehicle.

No explanation on why rejecting my car… I tried to post a vehicle and I always get this response, Hey Ricardo, thank you for submitting your i3, we really appreciate it. We are focusing on a specific set of vehicles that we think best fits our community. Your BMW looks great and we appreciate you sending it, but will need to pass for now. Thank you again for your submission and please consider us for another sale in the future! Every time I ask why they stop replying to my msgs so communication stops there. My vehicle is a 2017 BMW i3 clean tile and paid off. But they don’t provide me with a reason why don’t. I tried to post the car 2 times and nothing My car is not special or a specific vehicle. Cars and bids post a range of different cars including BMW i3 so why not my car?

Spent $150 on photos with Snappr Spent $150 on photos with Snappr. A review for them is next! I want to upload the Snappr photos to CArs & Bids to set up a listing. They don't accept JPEG which is what Snappr gave me. I was directed to Snappr from the Cars& Bids website. And no support available from Cars & Bids until I have a listing set up. Which I don't have because I can't upload the images. Support from both of these companies is very disappointing.
