About AutoBids

A marketplace for enthusiasts,built by enthusiasts.

AutoBids was born from a frustration anyone who has tried to buy or sell a quality car in Europe knows well: a fragmented market, full of mediocre listings, unserious buyers and endless negotiations. We built something different.

Who we are

We are car enthusiasts first and foremost.

The kind of people who know the difference between front and rear-wheel drive, who understand what it means to finally find the right car, who get why certain cars deserve a buyer who truly appreciates them.

Cura

Non pubblichiamo tutto. Esaminiamo ogni auto — se non è adatta al formato, non va in asta.

Trasparenza

Foto oneste, storia documentata, condizioni reali. Nessun fumo negli occhi.

Durata fissa

Sette giorni. L'auto trova il suo acquirente o non si vende. Niente trattative infinite.

Community

Acquirenti verificati, offerte vincolanti. Una community di appassionati.

01

Apply

Fill in the form with your car's details and upload at least 6 photos. Our team reviews every submission — we only select cars suitable for the format.

02

We prepare the listing

If your car is accepted, our team creates a professional listing: editorial description, curated photo gallery, complete spec sheet.

03

The auction goes live

Seven days. Serious buyers, binding bids, verified credit cards. You can set a secret reserve price: if not reached, the car doesn't sell — no obligation.

04

You keep 100%

Zero seller fees. The final price is all yours. We connect buyer and seller to complete the transaction.

01

Browse the auctions

Every listing is curated by our team: honest descriptions, real photos, documented condition. No smoke and mirrors.

02

Register and verify your card

To bid you need an account and a verified credit card. Every bid is binding — this keeps time-wasters away and protects serious sellers.

03

Place your bid

Auctions start at €0. If an auction has a reserve price, you'll only know whether it's been met or not — the amount stays secret. If you're the highest bidder when the timer ends, you win.

04

Buyer's fee

AutoBids charges a 4.5% buyer's fee on the final price (minimum €200, maximum €6,500). That's the only cost — sellers pay nothing.

Il meccanismo

The auction mechanism

Fixed duration — 7 days

Every auction runs for exactly seven days. A real deadline creates real urgency.

Anti-sniping

If a bid arrives in the last 2 minutes, the timer resets to 2 minutes. This prevents last-second sniping and ensures everyone has a chance to respond.

Minimum increment

Bids must exceed the previous one by a minimum amount: under €10,000 → €100 | €10,000–50,000 → €250 | €50,000–100,000 → €500 | over €100,000 → €1,000.

Binding bids

Every bid is a real commitment. Anyone who bids has a verified card and agrees to complete the purchase if they win.
