How the Auction Works

Experience transparent, secure car auctions in Cyprus. Verified users, clear timelines, and no last-second surprises.

How Auctions Work 1

How the Auction Works

Each auction runs for a fixed 7-day period. All listings go live with a set start and end time, giving buyers ample opportunity to review the car, ask questions, and prepare to bid.

Every car is displayed clearly with its reserve status shown. “No Reserve” if applicable.

We promote fair business, always

To ensure fairness, if a bid is placed in the final seconds, the countdown timer resets to 2 minutes – giving all interested buyers a fair shot.

This prevents last-second sniping and encourages genuine competition until a true market value is reached.

Transparent Bidding & Payment

Bids are visible, binding, and placed only by card-verified users. A 5% buyer’s premium is applied to the final price.

Once the auction ends, the winning bidder is connected with the seller to complete the transaction – either directly or through our optional secure checkout process.

How long does an auction last?
- +

Most auctions run for 7 days, giving enough time for maximum exposure and bidding activity.

You can sell your car with us for absolutely free. If you want to choose one of our premium services (Silver, Gold or Platinum) fees will apply. There are no hidden charges — you keep the full hammer price.

The Reserve is the minimum price the seller is willing to accept for their car. It acts as a safeguard to ensure the vehicle isn’t sold for less than its fair value. At Car Addicts, we work with the seller to set the ideal reserve price, considering the realistic market value, current demand, and the specific condition of the car. This way, your asset is protected while still maximizing the chances of a successful sale.

No, you don’t have to. Some sellers choose a “no reserve” auction to attract more bidders and create excitement. However, we recommend setting a reserve if you want to guarantee a minimum return.

If your car doesn’t meet the reserve, it won’t be sold. You can relist it, lower the reserve, or you can list your car to the “make an offer” section for a small fee.

Payment is arranged directly between buyer and seller. We guide both sides through the process to ensure safety.

The buyer’s premium is a small percentage added to the final bid, paid by the winning bidder. This fee goes to the platform and does not reduce the amount the seller will receive.

To participate in bidding, you must first hold an active account. When you are ready to place your bid, a small, fully refundable security deposit will be required to confirm your commitment. Once completed, you will have full access to bid with confidence.

To keep auctions fair and serious. A €100 refundable deposit is required before you place a bid. If you don’t win, it’s returned immediately. If you win, this amount will be deducted from the Buyer’s Premium

No, physical viewings are not allowed. 

Instead, you’ll have access to the independent mechanic’s report, hundreds of detailed photos, and a comments section where you can ask the seller questions directly. This approach protects the seller’s privacy while still giving the buyer all the information they need to make a confident, informed purchase.
