Solve A Problem / Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At Offerupbid, we connect verified buyers with sellers, providing a streamlined platform for purchasing vehicles through our Car For Cash and Car For Auction options. This FAQ section is designed to answer common questions for registered buyers who are ready to place bids in auctions or buy vehicles directly.

As a buyer, it is your responsibility to conduct due diligence before completing a purchase. We facilitate introductions between buyers and sellers, but transactions are carried out independently. You must inspect the vehicle, verify its condition, and ensure all details match the seller’s description before proceeding with payment.

Important: If you win an auction or agree on a direct purchase, you are required to complete the transaction within 3 days and pay Offerupbid’s commission upon acquiring the vehicle. Non-compliance with these terms may lead to legal action.

If you have any further questions, browse through our FAQ section or contact our support team for assistance. Happy bidding!
