We are a credit broker, not a lender - credit is subject to status and affordability, and is provided by a panel of lenders of whom we have a commercial relationship. By: Abby Chinery. Last updated: 05 August The set up is similar to the way that purchasing through eBay bidding works.

The bidder enter the maximum amount they are willing to pay which can not be seen by any other potential buyer. There would be a reserve price, which is the minimum figure that the number plate can sell for. This is done on behalf of the bidder up until their maximum bid. If this is surpassed, you will lose that particular Lot. To prevent Lot sniping, bidders bidding as late as possible, any bids made in the last 30 minutes will make the auction end time increase by 30 mins.

Live auctions are much more traditional. You can take part but in person and online, with online bids being presented to the auctioneer throughout the Lot auction. Submit a bid above the Current Bid to be in with a chance of winning the Auction.

However, be aware that once a bid has been placed it cannot be removed. For a Live Auction bidders are encouraged to attend the Live Auction and bid in person, in the same way as a traditional auction. However, it is also possible to submit bids online or by telephone and the DVLA provides tutorials on how to do this. The winning bids of all lots are published at the end of the auction.

Any registrations that do not meet the Reserve Price may be included in a future auction.
