If you believe this is an error, please contact CayMark Support.

If an auction ends without receiving any bids, the item will remain unsold. The seller may choose to relist the item at a later date.

No. Sellers are strictly prohibited from bidding on their own listings, either directly or through another person.

Vehicle Condition & Damage

12 questions

Vehicle information is supplied by the seller. Buyers should carefully review all photos, descriptions, and available documentation before placing a bid.

All vehicles and equipment are sold As-Is, meaning they are sold in their current condition without warranties or guarantees unless otherwise stated in the listing.

No. All sales are final unless otherwise determined by CayMark through its dispute resolution process.

No. Pre-auction inspections are not permitted. Buyers should base their purchasing decisions on the listing information, photographs, and seller-provided details.

You are encouraged to take clear photos and videos of the vehicle during pickup. You should also verify any documents, keys, or accessories provided by the seller. Buyers may bring a mechanic for their own peace of mind. This inspection is for documentation purposes only and does not affect the completed sale.

Mechanical damage refers to issues involving the engine, transmission, drivetrain, or other mechanical components that may affect the operation of the vehicle.

"Run & Drive" indicates that, at the time the listing was created, the vehicle was capable of starting under its own power and moving forward. It does not guarantee that the vehicle is roadworthy or free of mechanical issues.

Whether keys are included will be clearly indicated within each listing.

Yes. If the listing indicates that keys are not included, you may still purchase the vehicle. Buyers are responsible for reviewing this information before bidding.

Title information is displayed on each listing. Buyers should review the title status before placing a bid.

Buyers are responsible for reviewing all listing details, photographs, and documentation before placing a bid. CayMark encourages every buyer to perform their own due diligence.

If you believe the vehicle differs significantly from the listing, you may submit a dispute through your CayMark Dashboard along with supporting photos and documentation. CayMark will review each case individually. Because all sales are final, refunds or other resolutions are granted solely at CayMark's discretion.

Pickup & Post-Sale

9 questions

Once full payment has been received, you and the seller must agree on a pickup date, time, and location through the CayMark Messaging Center. You may collect your vehicle once these arrangements have been confirmed.

If you're unable to collect your vehicle at the scheduled time, you should contact the seller through the CayMark Messaging Center as soon as possible to arrange a new pickup date and time.

You may be asked to present a valid government-issued photo ID when collecting your vehicle. If someone else is collecting the vehicle on your behalf, they should present their own government-issued photo ID and may also be asked to provide a copy or photo of your ID for verification.

Yes. If someone else will be collecting your vehicle, you must authorize them through the CayMark Messaging Center with your seller before pickup.

Pickup deadlines are determined by the seller and will be communicated after your purchase has been completed. Buyers are encouraged to arrange pickup as soon as possible.

Failure to collect your vehicle within the agreed timeframe may result in action being taken by CayMark. In some cases, the seller may still receive their payout even if the vehicle has not yet been collected. Buyers should communicate any delays with the seller as soon as possible.

Once payment has been successfully completed, a unique four-digit Pickup PIN is generated. The buyer or their authorized representative must provide this PIN to the seller during pickup. The seller then enters the PIN in their dashboard to confirm that the vehicle has been released, which begins the seller payout process.

Contact CayMark immediately through the Contact Us page or by using the official support phone number listed on the website. Please provide photos and a detailed description of the issue.

Once your payment has been completed, the CayMark Messaging Center will become available so you and the seller can coordinate pickup details directly.
