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?
Digital Only is always free and includes your marketplace listing without window decals. Through November 30, 2026, the separate Street Visibility package is also free; it includes three personalized QR window decals and is normally $89. There is no subscription.
How do I get my decal?
QR decals are included only with Street Visibility, not with a free Digital Only listing. After selecting Street Visibility, add or confirm your shipping address and approve the proof from your seller dashboard so the three-decal 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.
Does AutoSnipes offer or accept cryptocurrency?
No. AutoSnipes does not issue, sell, promote, or accept cryptocurrency or tokens. AutoSnipes marketplace and Street Visibility prices are stated in U.S. dollars.
