Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to list a plate?
Nothing. Listing on Plateworth is completely free. We only charge a small commission when your plate sells.
How long does the auction last?
Every listing runs for exactly 48 hours. This creates focused demand and encourages serious offers from verified dealers.
Am I obligated to accept an offer?
No. You're never obligated to accept any offer. If nothing meets your expectations, you can relist after a 13-day cooling period.
How do I get paid?
Funds are held in escrow during the transfer process. Once the DVLA transfer is confirmed, payment is released to your account. Most sellers receive funds within 5-7 business days.
How are dealers verified?
Every dealer on Plateworth goes through a verification process including business registration checks, trading history review, and identity verification.
Can I relist if my plate doesn't sell?
Yes. After a 13-day cooling-off period, you can relist your plate. This protects market value and prevents over-exposure.
