A PowerSeller is someone who regularly manages auction sales for other people. A good one preps the vehicle, shapes the listing, answers buyer questions, lives in the comments, handles logistics and picks the platform they think gives the vehicle the best shot.
They are not automatically better than selling it yourself. For some vehicles I'd keep it simple and go straight to a platform. For higher-value or specialist vehicles, speaking to one before deciding can be the smarter move.
We work with a small number of sellers we know from years covering this market. We look at their track record, what they specialise in and where they're based, and we match by fit: the right seller for the right vehicle, in the right part of the country. Nobody pays to be recommended.
Every PowerSeller sets their own fee and agrees it with you upfront, before anything is listed. Some charge a percentage of the sale, some a flat fee, sometimes a mix. Each case is a little different.
The way to think about it is simple: weigh the fee they quote you against what representation returns. A good PowerSeller earns their fee in the result: the right platform, professional photography and presentation, buyer questions handled, and the sale managed start to finish. They will also tell you what is worth fixing before listing and what is not, which often saves money rather than costing it.
And where we have the data, we show it. When you see a number on a PowerSeller's card, that is how vehicles they represented have closed against comparable sales.
The number on a PowerSeller's card measures price alone. It can't count the weeks of listing work, the buyer questions answered, or the mistakes a good professional stops you making before they cost money. Weigh the whole job, not just the figure.
