Bid Now sales give you the opportunity to place bids in online auctions at any time of day directly within vehicle detail page. At the end of the auction, an xBid session can start as a new opportunity to bid on the vehicle. Bid Now sales are indicated by the blue arrow icon and xBid session by the red timer icon.

At the start of an auction you are able to place a bid for a specific amount, then choose one of 2 ways:
Automatic bid is a feature where the computer bids in your absence. During the Bid-Now auction you enter the maximum price you are willing to pay and the computer does the rest for you. Your automatic bid will also be taken to xBid session.
Validate your amount clicking on "Bid exact amount" button. If another bidder place a higher bid, you will be notified by email and you will be able to overbid.
You can decide your maximum bid before or during the auction. Thanks to our automatic bidding option, our system will bid incrementally on your behalf but never exceeds your maximum amount.
Most of the online auctions end with a so-called xBid session. It starts few minutes after the end a Buy-now auction. During this phase all cars appear on screen one more time. This system allows you to place an additional bid and to react on an offer placed within the final moments. After each new bid the timer jumps back 10 - 30 seconds again (depending on the auction setting) to allow other participants to place a higher bid.
Once your company details have been checked and an account has been created, you can directly access all our auctions across Europe.
