If you hand your plates to a new owner and they are not transferred, you are fully responsible for any fines, damage or other use of your plates on their car.
Transfer ownership promptly and safely through your state's road authority (for example VicRoads or Service NSW).
Check the plates can be resold before you list them, and give the buyer the plate details promptly.
Sellers negotiate the price with buyers and arrange to transfer ownership. For safety, we recommend meeting at a road authority office.
Once your plates are sold, click the SOLD button in your account. Sold plates must not stay on display.
If your plates are not marked SOLD within 12 hours of handing them over, we may give you a warning or a ban, and we may pause or remove listings from your account.
