Buying a Car

Buying a Car

Once you’ve spotted a car you’re interested in, here’s how to bid with confidence and win the auction at your price:

1. Register to Bid

To place bids or contact sellers, you’ll need to sign up with a valid credit card and phone number. Winning bidders pay DasBids a 5% buyer’s fee.  We use PayPal, an internationally recognized payment gateway to ensure security and trust.

2. Do Your Homework

We make buying online as safe and transparent as possible, but ultimately it’s your responsibility to make sure the car is right for you before bidding.

  • Review the listing carefully — photos, the DasBids inspection report, maintenance details, and noted flaws.
  • Ask questions directly in the comments or through our contact features.
  • Schedule an in-person viewing or arrange a pre-purchase inspection with a local shop at your own cost.

3. Get Ready to Buy

Plan ahead to ensure the transaction goes smoothly:

  • Have financing approved before bidding. Some lenders in Thailand require different materials that may require details like year, mileage, or inspection info.
  • Confirm delivery, storage, or shipping timelines with the seller if needed. Quick shipping quotes are available  and DasBids can arrange at no cost.

4. Place Your Bid

Bidding is easy and secure.

  • A temporary hold is placed on your card for a set amount, this is a deposit on the buyer’s fee. If you win, it’s charged; if not, it’s released.
  • Bids are binding — only bid if you’re prepared to complete the purchase.
  • To keep it fair we use an auction “soft close”, last-minute bids extend the auction clock 2 minuts so everyone has a chance to respond.

5. Win the Auction

To win, you must be the highest bidder and meet or exceed the seller’s reserve (if there is one). In a no-reserve auction, the high bidder wins outright.

After the auction, you’ll receive the seller’s contact details to finalize payment and logistics. Buyers are expected to pay in full within seven days.  DasBids stands with both Buy and Seller to ensure a smooth handover.
