Q: How do I get the confirmation paperwork on a vehicle I have sold or purchased?

A: The host Auction will email or fax a confirmation of what you bought or sold based on the information provided on your profile. 

Q: What is the importance of the Watch List?

A: The Watch List allows you to track the sale price as well as place a bid at (a later date). Any status changes (de-listing, sold, sold on an “IF”, or moved to another event) will be reflected in your Watch List.

Q: Can I update vehicle pricing after an offer has been made?

A: Yes. As a seller, the "Activity Tracker" can manage the price and additional description. If the description materially alters the car's value e.g.: frame, color change, all bidders will be notified and their bids may be retracted.

Q: I missed an alert that popped up, how do I find it?

A: Reference the alert section in the activity tracker. 

Q: If I remove a vehicle from a watchlist, how can I find the vehicle again?

A: There is no section yet for recently deleted so if you remove a vehicle from watch list and that vehicle has not sold you need to search the inventory to find it.

Q: What happens if I’m interrupted during the bidding or buying process?

A: MarketPlace’s highly sophisticated and stable auction platform ensures 100% uptime while allowing even dial up connections in rural areas to work well. In the event that a buyer’s personal internet service connection to the internet (over which MarketPlace has no control or influence) is interrupted, the last bid received would be valid and if defined a Maximum Proxy Bid, MarketPlace will automatically and incrementally submit bids until you are the winner or reach your Maximum Proxy Bid.

 Q: Is there any special setup required for Mobile access to the MarketPlace?

 A: No. All that is needed is a smartphone with a compatible browser.
