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.

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.

Pushy sales tactics. Declined Application. Like many others posted before, if you do not accept their very low reserve offer, they will reject your application. They are essentially functioning as a dealer and will move your vehicle far below even a trade-in value. What ever gets them the 4.5% commission. They rejected my 2021 Tesla Model 3 after offering a reserver $10,000 below KBB. The issue is not with their analysis team. Their business model is just like many other action sites. It does not benefit the seller at all. It is meant to push hard for lowest possible reserver to ensure most sales. It would be too much work to re-click and re-post the same unsold car with a lower reserve. It can border line be compared with the unethical standards as home brokers. Marketing your service as special or unique is false advertising.

no buyers fee refund even if seller might be a scammer I bid on a Rolls Royce and won the auction. Then I flew across the country to view the car after winning because I didn't want to wire a large amount to a stranger without first viewing the car/paperwork. There were a lot of red flags so I decided to not finalize the deal. I still had to pay the $4500 buyers fee. Cars & Bids did not care that the deal did not go through. I guess that explains why they have an F with the Better Business Bureau. Needless to say, I will not be making my future car purchases with them.

Suspended for posting hidden info about vehicles. So I have been suspended for the site for commenting info that cars and bids is hiding. If they don’t know this information they should maybe fire the people managing the listings. But I’d put $1000 on the spot right now that a court order would show they had it from day one. They have many flagged posts that show hidden. That’s understandable and you can view the hidden post. But anything that is to help the bidders that is purposely hidden from the public is completely deleted. It’s like they don’t realize that cached pages on the internet exist even if the original pages are gone. Even eBay listings that still exists from the seller show cars and bids hiding relevant information. At one point I thought of his website as fair and based on some of the videos Doug has posted about different things I figured what he said on how things operate was true. But apparently it’s all just a huge show to make it look better.
