When should I release the funds to the seller?

When you have transferred all your funds into your carsales wallet, arrange a time to meet the seller at a secure location.

We recommend releasing the funds in person at pick-up, after:

  • Performing a final inspection of the car

  • Checking the seller’s identity document (e.g. photo ID)

Only release the funds when you’re ready to complete the sale. The release is final and cannot be reversed through carsales.
