Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the BySelling network.
The Valuation Engine
How does the algorithm calculate my van's value?
Our proprietary engine factors in the manufacturer's base price, applies a complex exponential depreciation curve based on the exact registration year, adjusts for mileage deviations against the UK national average, and applies condition modifiers to give you a highly accurate trade-in margin.
Is the valuation a guaranteed offer?
The online valuation is an algorithmic estimate of what our dealer network is currently paying for your specification. Your final guaranteed cash offer will be finalized by the purchasing dealer, usually subject to a brief physical inspection to verify the condition.
Selling Your Van
Do you buy vans with finance outstanding?
Yes. The majority of our verified dealers are equipped to settle your outstanding finance directly with your lender. Any remaining equity is transferred directly to your bank account.
How quickly can I sell my van?
Once you accept an offer from one of our dealers, transactions are typically completed within 24 to 48 hours, including free nationwide collection and instant bank transfer.
Will I be charged any admin fees?
No. BySelling.com is 100% free for sellers. We charge our dealer network a premium to access our leads, meaning you never pay a penny in admin or collection fees.
Security & Data
Are my details shared publicly?
Never. Your data is held on our secure servers. We only share your vehicle profile and contact details with verified, highly-rated dealerships actively looking to buy your specific type of van.
