Non-automotive companies are also welcome, but different conditions apply, and the required deposit will be higher.
To which countries do you sell vehicles?
Our main market is the European Union, but we also sell cars to non-EU car traders. With the eCarsTrade Delivery Service, we can organize vehicle transport straight to your parking lot.
Is it safe to buy cars on eCarsTrade?
כן, רוב כלי הרכב ב-eCarsTrade מגיעים מחברות הליסינג וההשכרה המובילות באירופה. מכוניות אלו מתוחזקות בדרך כלל דרך סוכנויות מותגים רשמיות, כך שלרובן יש היסטוריית טיפול מלאה. אם הספק עובד עם שירות בדיקה עצמאי, ייתכן שיהיה זמין גם דוח הערכה, הכולל תמונות מפורטות ומדגיש את מצב המכונית וכל נזק גלוי. עם זאת, שימו לב שלא כל המכוניות מגיעות עם היסטוריית טיפול ו/או דוח הערכה.
Which documents do I need to provide to buy on eCarsTrade?
If you are an EU trader, you need to provide your official company documents. These should include your company name, business type, VAT number, full name of the owner, company address, and a scan of the owner's valid ID card or passport.
If you are a non-EU trader, you need to provide a scan of your valid ID card or passport, your full address (home or company), and any company documents. Company documents should include your company name, business type, company address, and the full name of the owner.
If you are a non-EU trader, you need to provide a scan of your valid ID card or passport, your full address (home or company), and any company documents. Company documents should include your company name, business type, company address, and the full name of the owner.
Why do you need my company documents and ID?
We sometimes have financial checks and need to make sure everything complies with VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) rules. Your company documents are kept only for eCarsTrade and are never shared for other reasons.
When can I start bidding?
Once our team checks your documents and you receive Silver or Gold user status, you can start bidding. However, to bid as much as you want, you will need to make a deposit. For more details, see User Statuses.
Why do I need to pay a deposit?
The deposit guarantees your ability to purchase. You only pay it once, and it is fully refundable. Once you pay the deposit, you gain access to all listings, and you can bid as much as you want on vehicles from Open Auctions, Blind Auctions, and Fixed Prices.
The deposit amount may vary depending on your company, country, or bid amount.
The deposit amount may vary depending on your company, country, or bid amount.
How do I get my deposit back?
ניתן לקבל את הפיקדון בחזרה על ידי מילוי טופס בקשת ההחזר. זכור כי נוכל להחזיר לך את הסכום רק אם כל העסקאות הושלמו. ההחזר יהיה גלוי בחשבונך תוך 20 ימי עסקים.

The bid suggestion calculator is not working. How can I calculate my bid?
אם המחשבון לא עובד, ניתן לנסות לבחור ידנית את דגם הרכב מהתפריט הנפתח. אם פעולה זו לא פותרת את הבעיה, נסו להוסיף עוד כמה מסננים לחיפוש, כמו קילומטראז' או שנת רישום. אם המחשבון עדיין לא עובד לאחר שעשיתם את כל אלה, אל תהססו לפנות למנהל החשבון שלכם לקבלת סיוע.
How do I know if I have won an auction?
אם זכיתם במכירה פומבית, נשלח לכם בדוא"ל את החשבונית הפרופורמה 24-48 שעות לאחר סגירת המכירה הפומבית. אם לא זכיתם במכירה הפומבית, לא תקבלו דוא"ל, אך תוכלו תמיד לראות את סטטוס כל ההצעות שלכם בדף האישי שלכם.
I made the highest bid in Open Auctions; why didn’t I win the car?
לא בהכרח. גם אם ההצעה שלך היא הגבוהה ביותר, הרבה עדיין תלוי במוכר. אם המוכר לא יגיע למחיר היעד שהוא מתכוון אליו, עדיין יש לו את הזכות לסרב למכירה.
Can I cancel a purchase/bid made by mistake?
ניתן למחוק או לשנות את הצעותיך רק במכירות פומביות עיוורות לפני סיום המכירה הפומבית. לא ניתן לבטל את הצעותיך במכירות פומביות פתוחות, מחירים קבועים והמלאי שלנו. לאחר סיום המכירה הפומבית, כל ההצעות והרכישות שבוצעו ב-eCarsTrade מחייבות ולא ניתן לבטלן. קנסות יחולו במקרה של ביטול (ראה את התנאים וההגבלות שלנו). אנא צור קשר עם מנהל החשבון שלך במקרה של טעות או בעיה.
If I lose the auction, can I still buy that car?
איננו מקבלים עדכונים משותפינו לגבי האם המכוניות נמכרו לאחר סיום המכירה הפומבית. השותפים שלנו יחזירו את המכונית לרשת אם הרכב לא יימכר לאחר סיום המכירה הפומבית. במקרה זה, תקבלו דוא"ל שיודיע לכם שהמכונית שעליה הצעתם שוב לרשת. עם זאת, עליכם להפעיל הרשמות לדוא"ל, שתוכלו לעשות זאת דרך הדף האישי שלכם.
How do Open Auctions work?
First, pay the deposit to participate in Open Auctions. You can see the highest bid and place a higher one to try to win.
To improve your chances of winning, follow the auction closely until the very end. We recommend raising your bids by only 200-500€ each time.
Only place a bid if you are certain you can pay for the vehicle, because bids in Open Auctions cannot be canceled.
Even if you are the highest bidder, the car is not automatically yours. The leasing company can refuse the sale if it does not meet their target price.

Even if you are the highest bidder, the car is not automatically yours. The leasing company can refuse the sale if it does not meet their target price.
How do Blind Auctions work?
In Blind Auctions, you cannot see other users' bids. You simply enter the price you are willing to pay. While the auction is still open, you can change or delete your offer, which is not possible in Open Auctions.
After the auction ends, you will get an email if you have won the car. If you did not win, you will not get an email, but you can check the auction status on your Personal page.
The seller retains the right to decide whether they want to accept your offer. If you are unsure how much to bid, use our bid suggestion calculator or contact us for help.

How does Bid or Buy Now work?
'Bid or Buy Now' combines Blind Auctions and Fixed Prices. You can make an offer or buy the car at the set price. To find these cars, go to 'All Cars' and choose 'Bid or Buy Now' under the 'Auction type' filter.
How do Fixed Prices work?
In Fixed Prices, if you want the car at the listed price, click 'Buy now.' We will contact you within 2 hours.

You can buy these cars using the Buy now option, and you will find all the information on the car page. If a car has been listed for a while, you may also be able to make a lower offer.

Do I need to pay VAT for export outside of the EU?

You can request the VAT refund after your purchased vehicle leaves the EU and the EX-A export declaration is officially registered by the EU border inspection point.
To get your VAT refund, first check the car’s export status on MRN Follow-up (for international movements only).
Once we receive proof of export from the transit agency, we will refund the VAT deposit to the same account you used for the car payment.

Why is my VAT number showing as invalid or not activated for intra-EU transactions?
אם אתם רואים הודעה שמספר המע"מ שלכם אינו תקף או שאינו מופעל עבור עסקאות בתוך האיחוד האירופי במהלך הרישום, ייתכן שהסיבה לכך היא שסטטוס המע"מ שלכם אינו מופעל עבור סחר חוצה גבולות בתוך האיחוד האירופי.
כדי לפתור זאת, תוכלו לבדוק את סטטוס מספר המע"מ שלכם דרך VIES (מערכת חילופי מידע על מע"מ). פשוט בחרו את המדינה שלכם והזינו את מספר המע"מ שלכם, ואתר האינטרנט יספק מידע מקומי ספציפי על סטטוס המע"מ שלכם.
במידת הצורך, צרו קשר עם רשות המס המקומית שלכם לקבלת סיוע בהפעלת מספר המע"מ שלכם עבור עסקאות בתוך האיחוד האירופי.
