Car Selling Sites That Can Charge You a Fee, and What It Is For

Most buyers in this category say the seller pays nothing, so the useful question is which ones do not, and for what. Every service below leaves room for a charge on its own pricing or FAQ page: Carvana's home pickup is 'for an additional service charge, for customers in specific locations', CarMax's at-home pickup says 'distance restrictions and fee may apply', webuyanycar notes that 'additional fees (e.g. titling) may also apply', and PrivateAuto, a private-sale platform rather than a buyer, charges $29 per listing plus a $150 closing fee that can be split with the buyer. That is the whole filter, and it is the flip side of the no-seller-fees guide: a service whose page says nothing about fees at all is not here either, because silence is not a stated charge. Read each card before writing any of them off, because the offer itself is free or carries no stated fee at all three buyers, Carvana's drop-off at its own hubs is 'always free', CarMax's store appointment lists no fee, and PrivateAuto's fees are the price of the identity verification and verified-funds checks it runs on a private sale.
