Yes, you can. Here’s how it works:
Agree on a deposit amount with the buyer, up to $2,000.
The buyer adds the deposit amount when making their offer.
You accept the offer.
The buyer pays the deposit to carsales and we hold it in your Pay through carsales wallet. We'll let you know when it's been paid.
Verify your ID, if you haven't already.
The buyer can release the deposit whenever they're ready. Once released we send it to you.
Adding a deposit does not reserve or guarantee the car. Either party can cancel the offer at any time before all funds are released. If the deposit has not been released to you, it will be returned to the buyer in full. If the deposit has been released to you, it cannot be reversed or refunded through carsales, even if the sale doesn’t proceed.
*Transfer times can be affected by a range of factors. See Annexure C of T&Cs for details.
