Online Car Auctions

One of them is Auction Fire. They guarantee that there are no fees for listing. At the same time, they also give image hosting at no charge. Auctions are classified accordingly, so sellers are assured that they are able to target the right market. Commissions are only paid when the buyer has made the payment and this is at a low rate of 2.5% of the sale price, not including handling and shipping fees when applicable. Should there be any problem with collecting payment from the buyer, Auction Fire immediately reverses the commission paid, so it remains cost-free for the seller until he has not really closed an excellent sale.

To join Auction Fire, one only needs to have an email and postal mail address. Bank account numbers and credit card numbers are not solicited as they are not necessary. However, all members have to be at least 18 years old. There are also terms and conditions to review and agree with prior to joining. All types of fraudulent behaviour and transactions done over this site are immediately reported to a division of FBI for investigation. Registration is quite easy. An email will be sent containing the password to be used to log-in to the site. After the first log-in, users may opt to change the provided password and create their own for better security.

The common question of sellers in these free car auction sites has something to do with the integrity of buyers. Auction Fire aims to provide sellers with good buyers as much as possible, however, a good part of it still remains to be the responsibility of the sellers.

The seller must take effort to at least check some background about the buyer. Auction Fire provides a facility to aid sellers in doing this. There is a link in the site that allows sellers to search for feedbacks about the buyer from other online transactions that he was involved with. At the same time, sellers also provide Auction Fire with their credit card details for verification. Those with generally good records have a check icon beside their name, so sellers can make a good judgment out of it. Buyers are protected by being given a direct access to Internet Fraud Complaint Center, which is an FBI division. Overall, though, buyers must take caution against sellers who do not have any searchable feedback and who offer very good auction prices.

Auction Fire, and other similar free car auction sites, have been growing tremendously through the years. Auction Fire alone receives up to hundreds of new registrations in a day. These sites normally capitalize on other sites like Yahoo, Google, and Lycos for promotion. Likewise, processes involved are made simple as well as referral of other buyers and sellers.

Above all, since listings are offered for free, prices are more likely very competitive. Thus, in the end, both seller and buyer go happy and satisfied. With common sense and regular caution, there is really nothing to lose in trying these kinds of free car auctions online.
