Fee Schedule

Version 2026.10.15 · Effective October 15, 2026

This Fee Schedule is part of the Terms of Service. Every fee is shown again at checkout or on the relevant screen before you confirm; changes apply prospectively only and never to a Sale already formed. Fees are earned when the related service is provided and, unless a document in the legal suite expressly says otherwise, are non-refundable.

No fee to bid

LaneUpPro is a standard online vehicle auction: registering, bidding, and making offers are free. No fee is charged per bid or per offer, and a bid that does not win costs nothing. Fees apply only to the services listed below — a listing, a completed purchase, or an optional add-on you choose at checkout. A refundable platform balance may be required before bidding (see Deposits); it is not a fee.

Whole-dollar amounts & rounding

All bids, prices, fees, deposits, bills, and payouts are whole U.S. dollar amounts — cents are not used, and bids with cents are rejected. Where a percentage produces a fraction of a dollar, the fraction is rounded in the platform’s favor: fees, commissions, markups, and deposits retained by the platform are rounded up to the next whole dollar, and amounts payable to members are rounded down. The rounded difference (always under $1 per line item) is retained by LaneUpPro as part of its marketplace fee.

Normal bid value

Every auction stores a single normal bid value (X). Dealers bid X directly. Public buyers bid an all-in amount Y = X + 3%·X + $500.

Sellers

  • Listing fee: $25 per vehicle listed (separate from sale proceeds).
  • Payout: X − platform commission, where commission is just 1% of X, capped at $100 — the lowest dealer commission in the industry.
  • When a public buyer wins, the seller also receives the $500 document processing fee paid by the buyer.
  • New sellers may receive a one-time $25 startup credit toward listing.
  • Independent 3rd-party inspection (optional): $100, deducted from your platform balance when you submit the car for inspection. A LaneUpPro-approved inspector verifies the vehicle, completes the listing, and publishes it with an “independently inspected” badge. Skip the checkbox to post instantly with no fee.
  • The listing fee is drawn from your reward balance, then your platform balance; if neither covers it, the fee is billed and deducted from your payout when the vehicle sells — so listing is never blocked.

Dealer buyers

  • Bid and pay the normal bid value X.
  • No additional buyer fee at checkout — the platform commission is deducted from the seller payout.
  • Minimum bid: $0 (subject to seller starting bid).

Public buyers

  • Bid and pay the all-in amount: X + 3%·X + $500.
  • The $500 document processing portion is paid to the seller.
  • Minimum bid: $500.

Platform commission

On every sale the platform retains 1% of the normal bid value, capped at $100. When the buyer is public, the platform also retains the 3% public buyer fee.

Example — dealer wins at X = $10,000

  • Dealer pays: $10,000
  • Platform earns: $100 (1% cap)
  • Seller receives: $9,900

Example — public wins at X = $10,000

  • Public pays: $10,800 (10,000 + 300 + 500)
  • Platform earns: $400 ($100 commission + $300 public fee)
  • Seller receives: $10,400 ($9,900 + $500 doc prep)

Deposits

A refundable platform balance may be required to bid. See Account → Balance. Deposits and balances are subject to the setoff and forfeiture rules in the Terms of Service.

Transportation

Transport estimates shown on listings are third-party estimates. Where a move is arranged through the platform, the quoted transport charge is collected at checkout or on your deal page as a billing convenience and remitted to the independent carrier — see the Transportation Support Policy. Transport is passed through at cost: LaneUpPro adds no markup, commission, or fee to it — the charge is the carrier’s quoted price in whole dollars, passed on to the carrier. Transport charges are separate from the vehicle price.

Administrative & non-performance fees

  • Returned / failed payment (ACH return, NSF, baseless chargeback): $30 per occurrence, plus our actual bank costs.
  • Buyer default (missed checkout, refused delivery): forfeiture of deposit up to $500, plus the shortfall and costs described in the Terms of Service §8.
  • Seller non-performance (refusing to complete a Sale, cancelling after the hammer, failure to release after payment). The fee steps up with repeat occurrences in any trailing 365 days: $250 for the first and second, $500 for the third and fourth, $750 for the fifth and later — plus the buyer’s and our documented out-of-pocket costs, including the buyer’s original transport (uncapped for a seller cancellation).
  • Buyer’s original transport on an unwind (a validated arbitration cancellation or a valid late-title cancellation): the buyer’s documented cost, charged to the seller, capped at $500; return transport to the seller is billed at the carrier’s actual rate.
  • Late title (each missed deadline under the Title Policy): $100, plus unwind costs on a valid buyer cancellation.
  • Storage after the pickup window: $25 per day, payable to the storing party.
  • Toll/citation pass-through handling: $10 per item, plus the billed amount.
  • Frivolous arbitration claim or baseless objection (as decided under the Vehicle Condition Arbitration Policy): $100.

Optional extension of the arbitration claim period

Offered at checkout on eligible vehicles; each is a per-vehicle, non-refundable add-on that adds the same number of days to the claim window under the Vehicle Condition Arbitration Policy and to the general dispute window — only the deadlines change; every other rule of that policy still applies. An extension is not a warranty, extended warranty, service contract, or insurance: it does not cover repairs or promise how the vehicle will perform — it only gives you more time to file a claim.

  • Extended claim window (+10 days): $99.
  • Extended claim window (+20 days): $179.

Fee treatment on cancellation or unwind

When a Sale is cancelled for seller fault (non-performance, title default, or an arbitration unwind), the buyer’s vehicle payment is refunded in full — including the buyer fee — and the seller bears the fees above. When a Sale is cancelled for buyer fault, listing fees remain earned and the buyer’s deposit is subject to forfeiture. Platform commissions on a fully unwound Sale are reversed; listing fees are not.
