    • If full verification is selected, buyers must complete email, phone, and identity verification before being able to message you about the vehicle. This is a great feature to prevent scammers from contacting you. For further security, you can request "Verified funds," where a buyer would need to prove they have the funds available in their PrivateAuto Pay account before scheduling a test drive or making an offer.
    • The payment methods will be displayed on your listing, so buyers will know how you prefer to be paid.
