Buying

Finding, checking and buying an asset safely.

• What to check before you buy Look for verified ownership and numbers, ask the seller questions and use the due-diligence summary.
• Buying at auction Bid before the timer ends; the highest bid that meets the reserve wins.
• Watchlist, saved searches and alerts Save listings and searches and we tell you when something new appears.
• Posting a “Wanted” request Tell sellers what you are looking for and your budget — they come to you.
• Asking the seller questions Use "Ask the seller" on the listing. Keep the conversation on the marketplace.
• Comparing listings side by side Tick "Compare" on up to four listings to see their numbers next to each other.
