The fee is added to the winning bid amount and is shown clearly at checkout before you confirm payment. Fee amounts vary based on the transaction price and the type of auction event.
Some Featured Seller Events have their own buy fee structure. For example, certain fleet sellers or manufacturer-sponsored events may have a flat buy fee (such as $100 per vehicle) rather than the standard percentage-based fee. These event-specific fees are disclosed on the auction listing and at checkout.
ACV accepts ACH bank transfers and most major floor-plan financing at checkout. The buyer fee is included in the total amount charged through your selected payment method.
You want to review the fee before bidding. You can always check the current fee schedule at this link. The fee also appears at checkout before you confirm payment, so there are no surprises after you win.
