Frequently Asked Questions
Bidding on Copart includes several stages: pre-bid before the auction starts; live bidding during the auction; сonfirmation of the winning bid. Each action affects the auction account and Buyer Number. Without proper tracking, teams can lose visibility into who placed a bid or why a vehicle was won.
In many cases, yes. Copart requires buyers to have the proper business license or work with a car auction broker who places bids on their behalf. When bidding through a broker or using a shared auction account, it becomes especially important to control user access and bidding limits in order to avoid costly mistakes.
The auction vehicle registration process typically includes creating a Copart account, submitting the required business or personal documents, paying a refundable deposit, and receiving approval for bidding access. Approval requirements may vary depending on the vehicle type and state regulations.
If a vehicle is not paid for on time, Copart may apply relist fees and additional penalties to the auction account. Repeated unpaid purchases can also lead to account restrictions or suspension. That’s why tracking who placed the bid and under which account is critical for teams bidding on Copart.
