About PCARMARKET
PCARMARKET launched in March 2019 as an online auction site for Porsche cars and parts. It has since opened to other makes. The company is a New York limited liability company and its terms follow New York law. Cars stay with the seller until they sell.
Listings run as reserve or no-reserve timed auctions, and some cars are offered through a Marketplace Direct format with offers and Buy Now prices. Verified Auctions carry a flat fee in place of the percentage. Buyers pay the seller directly, and PCARMARKET charges its buyer's fee to the bidder's card.

What it costs
These are the buyer costs in PCARMARKET's buyer agreement, last updated March 3, 2026.
| What | Cost |
|---|---|
| Buyer's fee, vehicles (2026) | 5% of the winning bid, offer or Buy Now price |
| Minimum buyer's fee | $500 |
| Maximum buyer's fee | $7,500, reached at a $150,000 price |
| Verified Auctions | Flat $1,250 fee at the time of sale |
| Parts and other items | 10% of the winning amount |
| Luxury watches | 6%, capped at $3,000 |
| Card hold while bidding | 5% of the bid on vehicles, 10% on items, 6% on watches; released if you lose |
| Buyer default | Liquidated damages equal to the buyer's fee, plus collection and legal costs |
| Seller does not deliver within 45 days | Buyer's fee refunded, less an admin charge |
A worked example: a $40,000 winning bid adds a $2,000 buyer's fee, so the car costs $42,000 before tax, title and shipping. An $8,000 car pays the $500 minimum, for $8,500.
Paying, pickup and storage
| When to pay | Pay the seller in full within 7 business days of the sale. |
| Payment | Paid directly to the seller; the buyer's fee can be split across more than one card. |
| Deposit | No deposit; a card hold of 5% of your bid applies on vehicles. |
| Pickup | The seller has 48 hours after full payment to make the car available. Missing your pickup window counts as a default. |
