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.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS They made the mistake of suspending my commenting "privileges" without cause or notice, so here I am on every social media outlet, review site and forum. I purchased one car through C&B but never, EVER again. I'll be taking my money back to the other enthusiast auction website where I'll have a much better experience. Sad!

Great experience, ignore the negative comments I really have no idea why there are so many negative reviews. It honestly made me nervous after I decided to list with Cars and Bids. The experience was top notch from top to bottom. I got more for my car than I thought I could (listed a car for sale only, did not buy). The communication and requirements were top notch. I could not ask for anything more, they were great and I highly recommend them IF YOU WANT TO DO THE WORK AND SELL YOUR CAR.

like others I was rejected for a 2011… like others I was rejected for a 2011 BMW 328I with 92000 miles on it wow! I was shocked that it was rejected it is clean car no accident's the car is in fantastic condition for the year sent very detailed photos as well. for them to reject it for no reason given tells me wonders about this site and know I see there response to others I'm glad it was rejected

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.
