Autura Marketplace is making it easier for vehicle buyers to stretch their budgets further and help vehicle sellers earn top dollar for their inventory.
Our industry-low buyer fee is staying put through 2026. Fees will stay at 11.5% of final bid across all bidding tiers up to a $950 cap. Buyers... this means more of your money goes to boosting your bids — and not platform fees.
Seasoned buyers and those brand new to online vehicle auctions and bidding can majorly benefit from this simple, straightforward, and discounted approach that will boost buying power and help you win big.
Why This Matters
In online vehicle auctions, every dollar counts. This month’s reduced buyer fee helps you:
- Bid more competitively with a lower take-rate
- Plan with confidence, thanks to a hard cap of $950, even on high-value purchases
- Make faster bid decisions with no surprises
We're running this promotion to give buyers a clearer, more predictable path to winning the vehicles they want — which rewards our sellers with higher average sale prices, too!
How Buyers Benefit – Example Scenarios
Here’s a look at how savings stack up:
| Purchase Price | Buyer Fee | Buyer Savings |
| $1,500 | $172.50 (was $275) | $102.50 |
| $3,500 | $402.50 (was $650) | $247.50 |
| $5,000 | $575 (was $950) | $375 |
Bottom line: These reduced fees mean more value for your hard-earned cash.
