Seller commission agreement

How commission works when you sell through Private Wheels ZW

Listing is free

You can list up to the free limit of vehicles at no cost. Private Wheels ZW earns a commission only when a vehicle is sold to a buyer it introduced to you.

The rate

The commission rate is currently 1.00% of the final agreed sale price. The rate that applies to your listing is locked in when it is approved. If we change the rate later, it applies only to listings approved afterwards, never silently to yours. If you withdraw and resubmit a listing, the rate in force at the new approval applies.

When commission applies

  • The buyer tapped Contact Seller on WhatsApp on your listing, which created an enquiry with a reference.
  • The sale took place on or after that first contact, and within 60 days of the buyer's last contact through Private Wheels ZW.
  • The sale is confirmed: the buyer reports the purchase and you confirm it, or our team resolves a disagreement. We never record a sale from one unverified report.
  • A buyer who found you elsewhere (not through an enquiry here) does not create a commission.

How it is calculated

Commission = confirmed final sale price x the locked-in rate. It is not calculated on the asking price; the amount shown on the listing form is only an estimate from the asking price. Both prices, the rate, the enquiry reference and the payment status are recorded and visible to you under Commissions.

Your responsibilities

  • Answer honestly when we ask you to confirm or dispute a buyer's report. Please respond within 7 days; after that a report goes to our team for review.
  • Do not avoid commission by pretending a sale happened off-platform or by agreeing a false price. Sales agreed far below the asking price (under 50%) are reviewed by our team.
  • Mark a listing as sold when it is sold.

Disagreements and payment

If you and the buyer report different prices, or you say no sale took place, our team reviews both versions and records a decision with a note. A commission has one of four statuses: pending payment, paid, disputed or waived. How and when to pay is communicated to you when a commission is recorded.
