The landscape of car auctions and digital bidding is evolving rapidly. Recent regulatory updates from COPART and the IAAI are reshaping how auto dealers buy vehicles and manage payments. If you’re an auto dealer or car reseller, understanding these changes is critical to staying compliant, avoiding costly penalties, and maintaining smooth operations.
At Cudium, we’ve designed our platform to help you navigate these new rules effortlessly — enabling you to pay for COPART and IAAI vehicles directly in your own name, with full transparency and security.
What’s Changing with COPART?
COPART has introduced stricter licensing and payment regulations to enhance transparency and reduce fraud in vehicle auctions:
- Only Licensed Buyers Can Bid Directly: Whether you’re an individual or a business, you now need to provide valid government-issued ID and, for businesses, a recognized business license based on your location. This means no more bidding through unlicensed third parties or brokers unless they are officially registered.
- Payments Must Be Made in the Registered User’s Name: COPART requires all payments to be conducted in the name of the licensed buyer. This eliminates confusion and protects buyers from fraudulent transactions or payment disputes.
- Faster Payment Deadlines: Winning bids must be paid within three business days, or late fees apply. This demands a payment process that is both quick and reliable.
For dealers, these changes mean you must be fully compliant with licensing requirements and ensure your payment methods align with COPART’s new rules.
The Pain Points Auto Dealers Face Today
- Complex Licensing Requirements: Understanding and meeting licensing rules can be confusing, especially for dealers operating across different states or countries.
- Broker Dependency: Many dealers rely on brokers to bid on their behalf, incurring extra fees and losing direct control over transactions.
- Payment Delays and Risks: Third-party payments can cause delays, disputes, and lack of transparency — risking lost deals or penalties.
- Compliance Challenges: Keeping up with evolving regulations is time-consuming and risky without the right tools.
