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.

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!

I managed to get a very good price and since the vehicle had no-reserve, my final bid was a winner. Now that I had a new car, I sent pics and a description of an LS I had to sell. The car was accepted quickly, but the process was a bit long after pics and videos were posted and this is why I didn’t give 5 stars. Vehicle sold to a really nice fellow and the delivery was seamless. Very pleased with C&B. Would consider using again without hesitation.

I wanted to sell my 1995 GMC Suburban… I wanted to sell my 1995 GMC Suburban and thought this might be a good site. I filled in the details and they asked if I had a reserve, I replied I did...apparently they don't like putting ads with reserve. They responded back that they had rejected my application and gave no explanation. I emailed them back to give me a reason so I understand what works for them but they never responded after that. I could have been a potential buyer for one of their cars at some point in the future, but now I am not sure I can trust this site - I get the impression they only do what works best for them , however they should learn sometimes a little courtesy goes a long way.
