No recourse, sold as-is, where-is. It’s in the terms. They are just the service that brings the parties together, the deal is ultimately between seller and buyer. They have no exposure.
That being said, there have been some real sh*tshows where they’ve discreetly gotten involved, but exactly how, I don’t know. The weird dude that bought my 300D on BAT had a buyer ghost him and BAT ended up giving him the contact information for the next highest two bidders. I don’t recall if he was able to sell to one of them or not, but he said it took them a week before they finally capitulated and agreed the buyer wasn’t going to follow through. And why would they care? They get their money the second the hammer falls. -D > On May 18, 2022, at 5:45 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Is it established that BaT sells good cars?
