Questions
Yes. You can keep your car listed on other sites too. If it sells somewhere else, just mark it sold or remove it here so buyers don't try to put down a deposit on it.
You choose your price, the deposit amount, and how long the buyer has to pay the balance. A buyer locks your car by paying the deposit through Stripe on Time Machine Cars, and the full deposit goes to you. The buyer then pays you the remaining balance directly. If the buyer backs out, you keep the deposit.
The buyer pays your deposit plus a processing fee of 5% of the deposit, with a minimum of $25 and a maximum of $250. The rest of the price goes straight to you by your deadline. There's no commission taken from your sale.
