Protect Yourself When Selling Online

Selling online is safe; however, there are steps you can take to protect yourself when selling your vehicle on KarKiosk.com:

• Communicate Securely:
  When you communicate with a potential buyer using KarKiosk’s internal messaging system, they can communicate with you securely as you prevent sharing your contact information with anyone until you have agreed on a price and buyer.

• Meet in a Secure Location:
  When meeting a buyer for the first time, to either make a sale or allow a buyer to test drive your vehicle, meet in a public location that is well-lit. If this is a test drive, you may want to bring someone with you for security.

• Verify Payments:
  When considering payment, you can accept a bank transfer or cashier's checks. Remember, cash payment may be problematic (fake cash, recognizes your money as legitimate); and personal checks can have the same problems.

• Scams:
  Watch for buyers who will offer to pay higher than your asking price or will ask you to ship the vehicle to them before payment is received. Your instincts are often correct.
