Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for private vehicle sellers and local buyers using AutoSnipes.
How does AutoSnipes work for sellers?
AutoSnipes allows you to create a digital listing for your car and receive a physical QR decal. When you park your car in public, interested buyers can scan the decal, view your car's specs, photos, and price, and send you direct messages or offers without needing your personal phone number.
What does it cost to publish a listing?
Right now it's free! Our launch promotion waives the regular one-time $89.99 listing fee through November 30, 2026. The free package still includes your live listing and three personalized QR window decals, and there is no subscription.
How do I get my decal?
Three personalized decals are included with every published listing. After publishing, add or confirm your shipping address and approve the proof from your seller dashboard so the kit can be printed and shipped.
Is my personal information safe?
Absolutely. Buyers contact you through our secure messaging system. Your email and phone number are kept private unless you choose to share them with a buyer you trust.
What if my car sells or I change my mind?
You can pause or remove your listing at any time from your dashboard. If someone scans a paused listing, they will see a branded 'Not Available' page instead of your vehicle details.
How do I know the seller is legitimate?
AutoSnipes offers a 'Verified Seller' badge for sellers who complete our identity and phone verification process. We encourage dealing primarily with verified sellers for maximum safety.
How do I make an offer?
When viewing a listing (either by scanning a decal or finding it on our site), simply click the 'Make an Offer' button. You can include a message and specify if you require financing or have a trade-in.
Are the vehicles inspected by AutoSnipes?
No, AutoSnipes is a marketplace connecting private sellers and buyers. We highly recommend having any used vehicle inspected by an independent mechanic before completing a purchase.
