Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions. Quick answers.

Who can sell on Autura Marketplace?

Any company with legal right to dispose of unclaimed or end-of-life vehicles — towing companies, impound lot operators, municipal agencies, fleet operators, and insurance companies. Everyone goes through a verification process before the first listing goes live.

How do I get paid?

Every transaction goes through Autura Verified Payments (AVP). The full balance is secured at the time of sale and released automatically when the deal closes. No chasing buyers. No collecting payment at pickup.

How does listing a vehicle work?

You can list vehicles individually or in batches by VIN. The offline inspection app lets you document vehicles anywhere on your lot — no internet required. Just trigger a synce when you're back online. If you use TOPS or Aries, listings pull directly from your TMS with no duplicate data entry.

What happens if a buyer doesn't show up?

Buyers go through a verification process and have buying power requirements before they can bid. When they win, funds are already secured — so a no-show doesn't mean a lost sale. Gate codes and pickup instructions are automatically sent upon payment, cutting down on any back-and-forth.

Do I have to handle sales tax?

No. Autura manages sales tax collection and remittance through Avalara, a trusted compliance platform. This means you stay compliant automatically, regardless of where your buyer is located or what their tax status is.

How much does it cost to sell?

Nothing. Sellers pay $0 in platform fees. Buyers pay the platform fees, so your proceeds stay intact.

What's the sell-through rate?

Autura Marketplace has an 82% sell-through rate, compared to a 54–66% industry average. Vehicles that sell on the platform average 20+ bids and a $1,000+ sale price.

Do I have to wait for a scheduled auction event?

No. Every vehicle gets its own, on-demand auction the moment it's listed. There's no batch, no waiting, and no coordinating a single event to move your lot inventory. Vehicles sell on their own timeline.

Who are the buyers?

230K+ registered users and 30K+ unique bidders, including dealers, salvage yards, dismantlers, exporters, and individual buyers. They're browsing daily inventory and setting up alerts for the vehicles they're seeking. This means your listings reach buyers who are actively in the market.

Can I restrict who sees certain vehicles?

Yes. Public and private auction options let you separate restricted inventory from vehicles open to all buyers, so you can ensure that each vehicle reaches the right buyer pool.
