Auction Fees FAQ

Fees on a $2,000 winning bid?

Copart (clean/secured/pre-bid): ~$653 fees = $2,653 out-the-door. IAAI (proxy): ~$775 fees = $2,775 — before shipping & customs.

Does paying by card raise fees?

Yes at Copart — unsecured payment (card/PayPal) carries a much higher buyer fee, and any unsecured portion reprices the whole purchase. Wire whenever possible.

Cheapest way to buy at auction?

Clean title + secured funds + pre-bid instead of live + buying via Eaqlaa licensed account (saves broker fees).

Is the Eaqlaa quote all-inclusive?

Yes — winning bid + all auction fees + shipping + customs in one clear number before you commit.

Do these fees change?

Yes — Copart & IAAI may update schedules without notice. Data here is Sep 2026; always confirm on the official page before bidding.
