Listing costs nothing. When your item sells you pay $10, $40, or $95, and that's the whole bill however high the price went.
Same sale, same buyer, same day. The only thing that changes is how the fee is calculated.
A percentage fee grows with your item. Ours doesn't move. That $95 is the same $95 on a $5,000 boat and a $50,000 truck, so the better your sale goes, the wider the gap gets.
Drag the slider to roughly what you'd expect your item to sell for.
Seller fee only. Your buyer pays their own flat 6% separately, and it doesn't come out of your side. All figures are before any applicable sales tax. The 6% comparison is an illustration of a percentage-based commission, and rates vary by platform.
There isn't a second page of this. What's below is all of it.

No seller fee on any sale, at any price, however many you run. Six sales over $5,000 and it's already paid for itself. Everything after that is free to sell.
The same sale, priced both ways, so you can see where the money actually goes.

We're not naming platforms and we're not tracking their rate cards. The right-hand column is a straight 6% commission, shown to make the shape of the difference clear. Check whatever you're comparing us against, because percentage rates move around.
The highest bid arrives as an offer, not a done deal. You've got 24 hours to accept or pass, and passing costs nothing. Winning a bid isn't the same as buying.
Your listing goes to Copart's buyer network and to the public at the same time. More people bidding is the cheapest way to raise your price.
Open it up to the whole country, or draw a radius from 25 to 500 miles if you'd rather the buyer could drive over and collect it.
Cars, motorcycles, boats, heavy equipment, parts, and the odd thing that fits none of those. No per-listing charge and no cap.
The fee goes to the card on your account after the sale completes. What you and your buyer agreed on is what you collect.
If it doesn't go the first time, put it back up. Your photos and description stay attached, so there's nothing to rebuild.
When the sale completes. Not when you create the listing, not when bidding ends, and not when the offer lands. If you never accept an offer, you're never charged.
No. It goes to the card on your account as a separate charge. Whatever price you agreed on is what you collect from your buyer.
All fees are quoted before any applicable sales tax, so your total may be slightly higher depending on where you are.
You pay nothing. Same if you let the 24 hours expire, and same if the listing ends with no bids at all. The flat fee only ever applies to a completed sale.
Your buyer, billed to their card. It's separate from your seller fee and it doesn't reduce what you take home.
No. Unlimited waives your seller fee on every sale. The buyer's 6% is still the buyer's.
The $95 tier. The $40 band runs from $500 up to just under $5,000, and $5,000 itself is the start of the top tier.
List it, see what buyers offer, and decide from there. If the number isn't right, walk away and it hasn't cost you anything.
