Bidding

Premium Auto Bid, operated by Premium Logistics SHPK, places customer bids on Copart in real time through the Copart API for customers in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Montenegro. You set a maximum; your bid is submitted to the relevant Copart auction in real time once your identity verification, deposit and accepted Member Terms are in place. No outcome is guaranteed.

Bidding is delivered through a live connection to Copart. It is a self-service flow in which the bids you authorise are submitted to the relevant Copart auction in real time through the Copart API, within a maximum you define. No person places bids on your behalf on a separate auction-house account, and no outcome is guaranteed.

Premium Auto Bid is not owned by, operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Copart, Inc. Copart and the Copart logo are trademarks of Copart, Inc. Auction vehicles are sourced exclusively through Copart, and customer bids are placed on Copart in real time through the Copart API. The specific sample listings shown on this site are clearly-labelled demonstration data, do not represent real Copart lots, and are not available for bidding.

Who can bid

Before any bid can be submitted to Copart, four conditions must all be satisfied. We confirm each of them; meeting some but not all of them does not entitle you to bid.

  1. A registered Premium Auto Bid account in your own legal name.
  2. Completed identity verification (KYC) to the level required for the value of the vehicle you wish to pursue.
  3. Acceptance of the current Member Terms, which form the binding agreement for all bidding.
  4. A deposit that we have received and confirmed: USD 750 for standard vehicles, or 10% of the intended maximum for vehicles over USD 7,500.

Deposits are confirmed by our operators, not by an automated card processor. We accept bank transfer in USD or EUR, and cash in ALL in person at our Tirana office. We do not use third-party card processors. A bid submitted before these conditions are met will not be accepted.

Eligibility checks exist to keep the service lawful and serious. We may decline or pause a bid where verification is incomplete, where the deposit is unconfirmed, or where proceeding would conflict with our sanctions, anti-money-laundering or Copart obligations.

How a maximum bid works

A maximum bid tells us the most you are willing to pay for a specific vehicle. It is submitted to the relevant Copart auction in real time through the Copart API. The steps below describe the full path from setting your maximum to the outcome.

  1. 1

    You set your maximum

    You identify the vehicle and the maximum amount you authorise us to bid, exclusive of fees and buyer premiums that Copart adds. This figure is your ceiling; your bid never knowingly exceeds it.

  2. 2

    Prerequisites are confirmed

    We confirm your verification status, confirmed deposit and accepted Member Terms, and check the bid against our internal and Copart rules. Once these are in place, your bid can be submitted.

  3. 3

    Your bid is placed on Copart

    Premium Auto Bid places your bid on Copart in real time through the Copart API, working up to but not beyond your stated maximum. Timing depends on Copart's auction schedule, not ours.

  4. 4

    We report the outcome

    We tell you the result: outbid, won, or that the lot closed without a successful purchase. You deal with Premium Auto Bid throughout; you do not hold an account with, or bid directly at, Copart. No outcome is guaranteed.

What happens if you are outbid, win, or lose the lot

Bidding outcomes are determined by Copart, not by Premium Auto Bid. We report honestly what occurred and what it means for your deposit and next steps.

Outbid

If competing bids exceed your maximum, we stop at your ceiling and you do not win the lot. Your confirmed deposit remains available for a future bid or for refund in line with the Deposit and Refund Policy. We do not raise your maximum without a fresh, explicit instruction from you.

Won

If your bid succeeds at or below your maximum, the purchase is binding on you. The remaining balance, plus Copart's fees and buyer premiums and any agreed service and logistics charges, becomes payable on the terms we confirm. We then coordinate payment, collection and onward import support.

Lot closed, no purchase

Some lots close, are withdrawn, or are re-listed by Copart without any successful purchase. Where that happens through no fault of yours, your deposit is unaffected and you may bid again on the same or another vehicle.

An accepted bid is binding

When your maximum bid is submitted to Copart, you authorise a real purchase attempt at a real auction. If the bid wins at or below your maximum, you are committed to completing the purchase and paying the full amount due.

  • Your maximum is a genuine commitment, not an indication of interest; do not submit a figure you are not prepared to pay.
  • A winning bid cannot be cancelled simply because you have changed your mind, because the vehicle's condition differs from your expectation, or because financing falls through.
  • Copart sells vehicles strictly as-is, and a winning purchase is subject to Copart's rules, fees and timelines, which we pass through to you.
  • Failure to complete a won purchase may result in loss of deposit, Copart penalties charged to you, and suspension of further bidding, as set out in the Member Terms.

Because the commitment is real, we will not submit a bid until verification, deposit and Member Terms are all in place. That check protects you as much as it protects us.

Fees, buyer premiums and what you actually pay

The amount you ultimately pay is more than your winning bid. Copart adds its own buyer premiums, gate and processing fees, and these are passed through to you at cost. Premium Auto Bid charges separately for its service and for any logistics and import coordination you request.

Illustrative components (not a quote)

  • Winning bid (hammer) amount, up to your authorised maximum.
  • Copart buyer premium and fees, which scale with the sale price and are set by Copart, not by us.
  • Our bidding service charge, disclosed before you commit.
  • Optional transport, customs and import-support charges, quoted separately when you request them.
  • Applicable taxes, duties and per-country charges that fall due on import.

These figures are illustrative only and exist to explain the structure of your total cost. They are not a price list, an estimate, or a quotation for any vehicle. We confirm the specific amounts that apply to your bid in writing before you are committed.

We do not control Copart fees and buyer premiums and cannot waive or reduce them. We disclose them as accurately as Copart allows and pass them through without markup beyond our stated service charges.

Your relationship is with Premium Auto Bid

Throughout the process you contract with Premium Auto Bid, operated by Premium Logistics SHPK. You do not enter a contract with, hold an account at, or bid directly with Copart. We place your bids on Copart through the Copart API and provide import support; the vehicle itself is sold by Copart under Copart's terms.

  • Your point of contact, agreement and invoicing is Premium Auto Bid.
  • The seller of record is Copart, which sells vehicles as-is.
  • We make no guarantees about a vehicle's condition, title, mileage, history, the outcome of any bid, or the timeline of any sale or delivery.
  • Any dispute about the vehicle's condition or description is ultimately governed by Copart's terms, which we will help you navigate.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bid on the vehicles I see on the site right now?

No. The sample listings currently displayed are clearly-labelled demonstration data, not real Copart lots, and are not available for bidding. Live, biddable Copart inventory is bid on in real time through the Copart API once your account is fully verified and funded.

How are bids placed on Copart?

Premium Auto Bid places your bid on Copart in real time through the Copart API, up to the maximum you set. No person places bids on your behalf on a separate auction-house account, and no outcome is guaranteed.

What do I need before you will place a bid?

A registered account in your own name, completed identity verification to the required level, acceptance of the current Member Terms, and a confirmed deposit of USD 750, or 10% for vehicles over USD 7,500.

What happens to my deposit if I am outbid?

It remains available for a future bid or for refund in line with the Deposit and Refund Policy. Being outbid does not forfeit your deposit.

Can I cancel a winning bid?

No. An accepted maximum bid that wins at or below your maximum is binding. Vehicles are sold as-is by Copart, and a win cannot be cancelled because of a change of mind or the vehicle's condition.
