Won the bid? Don't lose your shirt.
Unreported accidents, flood, rollbacks, fake titles. CARFAX shows REPORTED history — you prove REALITY.
Once the money is transferred to the seller — there’s no recourse and the seller has all the leverage.
It happened to us before and that’s why we started TrueBids.

No fraud? Funds released to seller
If the Seller Refuses TrueBids - Assume A Problem.
That's a red flag. Why would a seller decline if the car is exactly as they claim? Chances are, they're hiding flood damage, odometer rollbacks, or other costly issues.
Would you buy a house without walking through it or getting inspected?
