The dedicated marketplace for the Volkswagen Group
VAGBid is a niche, specialist auction and classified sales marketplace built exclusively for the Volkswagen Group — the only dedicated VAG platform of its kind in the world. We cover Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, SEAT, Škoda, CUPRA and Ducati vehicles, parts and accessories. Buy and sell with confidence using secure Stripe payments, real-time bidding, watchlist alerts, in-platform messaging and a verified seller rating system.
How VAGBid works
Everything you need to buy and sell VAG Group vehicles, parts and accessories in one place.
Auctions & Buy-Now
List items as an auction, a fixed-price Buy-Now, or both. Bidders place bids in real time; the highest bid wins when the timer ends.
Secure Checkout
Winners and Buy-Now buyers pay securely through Stripe. Funds are held safely until the transaction completes.
Watchlists & Alerts
Track listings you're interested in. Get email alerts on price drops, new bids and auctions closing soon.
Messaging
Buyers and sellers communicate directly through an in-platform messaging system tied to each listing.
Offers
Buyers can make offers on Buy-Now listings; sellers accept, decline or counter.
Seller Ratings
After a sale completes, buyers leave a star rating and review — building trusted seller profiles.
Disputes
If something goes wrong, open a dispute with evidence. Unresolved cases auto-escalate to admins after 48 hours.
Postage & Collection
Sellers offer free, fixed or calculated postage — or collection-only. Postage details are shown on each listing.
Fees & subscriptions
VAGBid keeps selling simple: one flat selling fee, plus an optional monthly subscription that sets how many active listings you can run at once.
0.5% selling fee
A flat 0.5% fee applies to the final sale price — only when you actually sell. No listing fees, no insertion fees. The fee is deducted automatically and the remaining proceeds are available for payout.
| Plan | Monthly cost | Active listings |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 100 listings |
| Starter | £5/mo | 1,000 listings |
| Professional | £10/mo | 10,000 listings |
| Enterprise | £20/mo | Unlimited listings |
Subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe and can be cancelled anytime. All plans include the 0.5% selling fee, bidding tools, watchlists and messaging.
Advertising slots
Businesses can promote themselves with a monthly advert in two placements:

Tips for migrating from another platform
- Export your inventory from eBay, Facebook, Shopify or your stock system as CSV/Excel.
- Rename your columns to match the headers above, or paste your data into our template.
- Use exact brand names (e.g. Volkswagen, not VW) and lowercase category/condition values.
- Leave
auction_endblank for Buy-Now items; set it for auctions in ISO format (e.g.2026-08-01T18:00:00). - Prices are in pounds — enter numbers only, no currency symbol (e.g.
85).
