Payment Terms
When you register with AllAuto and you plan on listing items for sale, your payment terms depend on when you begin selling on AllAuto:

Payment Terms - New Sellers
(Begin selling on or after October 22, 1999)

New registered sellers are required to place a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) on file for automatic monthly billing. A new registered seller is defined as a user who has not listed an item for sale prior to October 22, 1999. Placing a credit card on file allows unlimited access to list items as long as AllAuto is able to authorize the card for each month's payment amount. AllAuto requires payment in full each month on accounts with a balance of $1.00 or more.
Why is this required?

To place your credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) on your AllAuto account as a new registered seller, just complete this safe and easy form.

Debit and check cards (with a Visa or MasterCard logo) are an acceptable form of payment in lieu of a credit card. However, please keep in mind that debit and check cards are not credit cards and may be subject to daily and/or transaction limits. Contact your issuing bank to determine if your card is subject to these limits or any other restrictions that may apply.

Invoicing Procedures and Payments
At the time of registration your account is automatically assigned a billing cycle. This billing cycle pre-determines your invoicing date as well as your payment due date. This date is referred to as your Billing Cycle Date and is clearly displayed at the top of your account status page. This date will also appear on your invoice as your Invoice Date. Please check your account status to verify your Billing Cycle Date.

You will normally be invoiced within five days of your Billing Cycle Date via email. This invoice will include your previous month's account activity as well as any past due amounts. In the event you do not receive an invoice, you are still responsible for your payment. Please check your account status for your current account balance.

AllAuto Billing Cycles

Billing Cycle Date When will I receive my invoice? When is my payment due?
15th of the month Between the 16th and 20th of the month By the 15th of the following month
Last day of the month Between the 1st and 5th of the month By the last day of the following month

Your credit card will normally be charged 7 to 10 days after receipt of your invoice.

AllAuto requires payment in full each month on accounts with balances of $1.00 or greater. You will be billed a monthly finance charge of 1.5% or the highest amount permitted by applicable law - whichever is lower - if your account becomes past due. Your account may be suspended for non-payment, and you may be responsible for collection costs.

Payment Terms - Existing Sellers
(Begin selling prior to October 22, 1999)

Existing registered sellers may place a credit card on file for automatic monthly billing or choose to "pay-as-you-go." An existing registered seller is defined as a user who has listed an item for sale prior to October 22, 1999.

  • Credit Card on File: You can place your credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) on your AllAuto account for regular monthly payment. This allows unlimited access to list items as long as AllAuto is able to authorize your card for each month's payment amount.

    Debit and check cards (with a Visa or MasterCard logo) are an acceptable form of payment in lieu of a credit card. However, please keep in mind that debit and check cards are not credit cards and may be subject to daily and/or transaction limits. Contact your issuing bank to determine if your card is subject to these limits or any other restrictions that may apply.

  • Pay-As-You-Go: This option allows you to pay your monthly invoice by check or money order, or to request a one-time credit card payment. Without a credit card on file for automatic monthly billing, you will be prevented from listing additional items whenever you owe more than $25.00. Once your account balance reaches $25.00, you account will be blocked until payment is made or a credit card is placed on file for regular monthly payment. If you anticipate your monthly activity to exceed $25.00 and you wish not to place a credit card on file, it is recommended that you pre-pay your account accordingly to ensure uninterrupted service.

AllAuto requires payment in full each month on accounts with a balance of $1.00 or more.

To place your credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) on your AllAuto account, just complete this safe and easy form. Then your credit card will be charged monthly for the previous month's invoice amount. Now that's convenience!

If you'd rather not place your credit card on your AllAuto account, you can always pay AllAuto with a check or money order, or request a one-time credit card payment. Just be sure to include an AllAuto payment coupon to ensure that your payment is accurately applied to your account. Your payment will normally be posted to your AllAuto account within 7 to 10 business days. Please do not send cash payments to AllAuto.

To verify your Billing Cycle Date please review your account status. Your Billing Cycle Date is displayed in the top section of your account status page as well as on your monthly invoice.
