How to buy?

It's simple, start by browsing the ads on our network and once you find an item (car, spare part, equipment) that is in your interest, simply use the contact buttons in the ad to get in touch with the owner via email or phone (if provided), you will find them on the right side floating while you slide down on desktop and on the bottom of the page on mobile devices.

Secure payments

We have partnered with trustap to enable you secure escrow payments.
Escrow is a method of payment where seller and buyer are checked and verified before money is held by a trusted third party until the purchase has been safely completed. Giving complete peace of mind and protection to both parties.
We recommend using escrow for every transaction done online, especially for acqusitions where you don't see the item in person, like smaller spare parts, gearboxes and similar, to avoid any inconveniences such as ordered item not arriving or not in state as agreed. With escrow, your don't have to worry.



Who can use escrow?

Anyone and for any transaction, regardless of its value. Whether you are buying a race car, a spare gearbox, a set of tyres or a helmet, trustap will help you avoid scammers with their strict seller verification process and in case the acquired gearbox on delivery still turns to be just a "box", your money is still safe with you, as you only release it to the seller once you receive the goods and confirm that they match the agreement. Complete peace of mind for every acquisition, who wouldn't want that?

What are the main benefits of escrow for the seller?

  • 1. Know who you are transacting with. Everyone’s identity is verified to ensure they’re a genuine user.
  • 2. Zero Selling Fees: In exchange for full buyer protection, Trustap’s payment solution relies on the customer to pay a small fee, meaning there are zero fees for the seller.
  • 3. Sell More: Escrow payments create a secure environment, encouraging hesitant buyers to make more purchases. Therefore reducing deal abandonment rates.
  • 4. Fraud Detection: Our 24/7 fraud monitoring ensures protection against fraudulent transactions.
  • 5. Mediation and Resolution: In the unlikely event of a disagreement, Trustap is equipped to mediate and resolve any disputes, ensuring a fair resolution.
