Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
RepoKar operates as an online marketplace rather than a traditional yard-based auction; consequently, many operational details common to salvage auctions (yard pickup rules, free storage windows, transporter apps, gate passes/PIN codes, appointment/virtual queue systems) are not published on the site. Payment flows and pickup logistics appear to be arranged directly between buyer and seller, except when a seller opts into RepoKar’s Los Angeles pickup location service ($60 processing fee) where RepoKar handles payment/paperwork and can arrange transport. RepoKar repeatedly advertises no buyer fees and free registration. The site references PayPal for some Buy Now payments and account linking, but does not list other accepted/unaccepted payment methods. No official RepoKar mobile apps (buyer, seller, or transporter) are mentioned on the site.
Pickup Rules
Not specified for standard transactions between buyer and seller. RepoKar offers an optional Los Angeles pickup location service for sellers after a sale (they process payment/paperwork and can arrange transportation; $60 processing fee).
