2. Add deposit at CARS4.BID:

Before bidding, each member needs to give a security deposit. It lets you bid and promises you'll buy the car if you win. You can't bid without a deposit. The deposit should be at least $600 or 10% of the bid, whichever is more.We only accept bank or Zelle transfers for live bidding deposits.
We don't accept credit cards for live bidding because of security.

If you already have a deposit through Zelle or bank wire, please contact us. We will update your account, and you will gain access to live bidding.

Remember: Make the deposit on the CARS4.BID website. If you have a valid CARS4.BID account and deposit, we'll approve within 24 hrs
