FOB and CIF are the most two popular price terms of INCOTERMS, defined by ICC to harmonize the possible dispute of arising form the international trade practice.

FOB (Free On Board): Term of sale under which the price invoiced or quoted by a seller includes all charges up to placing the goods on board a ship at the port of departure specified by the buyer. Also called collect freight, freight collect, or freight forward

CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight): Term of sale signifying that the price invoiced or quoted by a seller includes insurance and all other charges up to the named port of destination. In comparison, carriage and insurance paid to (CIP) terms include insurance and all charges up to a named place in the country of destination (usually the buyer’s warehouse). See also cost and freight (C&F, or CFR). The difference between CIF and CFR is insurance during the transportation

The major difference between CIF and FOB is the transportation costs and insurance during it.

This is something that happens rarely. When your request amount reaches the maximum bid, we reduce the bidding speed, but you keep bidding until the bid reaches your request amount. When many other bidders bid, the system will increase the price. These are human-to-human competitions over computers, so a few seconds of clicking difference matters. So, your maximum bid can go up + 10,000 ~ 20,000 yen. Similarly, you may also get lower than -10,000 ~ 20,000 yen.

When your request amount reaches the maximum bid, we reduce the bidding speed to make sure the bid does not go significantly over your request amount. When we slow down the bidding speed, sometimes the system selects another bidder’s bid as a maximum and ends the auction, even if we bid a higher amount. This is something that happens rarely, and it can happen for various reasons like internet latency, system delay, bid clicking delay, etc.

The Advance payment or deposit demonstrates your intention to purchase the car. The advance payment is fully refundable when the bid is unsuccessful.
