The biggest risk in buying a used EV — especially from another country — is paying before you see it. With an EV Gulf Verified Deal every step is documented, the car is inspected, shipping runs through approved carriers, and payment protection is provided by licensed partners where available — so nothing reaches the seller until you receive and accept.
You send (car price + 2.5%) to a licensed payment partner / intermediary bank — not to the seller.
The funds are held by a licensed entity. Neither the seller nor EV Gulf can touch them.
After inspection + shipping, you confirm the car and that it matches — or open a dispute.
The full car price to the seller, and the 2.5% service fee to EV Gulf — automatically.
EV Gulf never holds your car money — a licensed payment partner holds it and releases it on delivery. We verify and coordinate the inspection + shipping, and take only a 2.5% service fee.
Buyer and seller accept clear terms: ownership, battery health, inspection, and delivery.
Payment protection is provided by licensed partners where available — the seller can't touch it before delivery.
Cross-border: the seller is responsible for an approved inspection proving car and battery condition.
Shipping only via EV Gulf–approved carriers — with a tracking reference inside the deal room.
The buyer receives the car and checks it matches the listing — a 48h window to object.
After buyer acceptance, the full car price is released to the seller. A Verified Deal for both sides.
Buying from Saudi while you're in Kuwait? The seller is responsible for an approved technical inspection proving car and battery condition, and for arranging overland shipping exclusively through EV Gulf–approved carriers — with a tracking reference you follow inside the deal room. Your payment stays protected via a licensed payment partner the whole way.
Either party can open a dispute from the deal room at any stage after the payment is placed on hold with the licensed payment partner. The payment is held immediately, and the EV Gulf team reviews evidence from both sides (inspection, photos, the deal log) and issues a binding ruling: complete the deal or refund the buyer. The deal log is recorded step by step and cannot be altered.
As soon as the buyer confirms delivery and acceptance, or automatically 48 hours after documented delivery if no objection is raised.
You reject the handover and open a dispute from the deal room. The payment stays on hold with the licensed payment partner until the EV Gulf team rules — and if the material discrepancy is proven, you get the full car price back.
The seller is responsible for the approved inspection and for arranging overland shipping via EV Gulf–approved companies, bearing its cost unless agreed otherwise in writing inside the deal room.
Currently a direct bank transfer via a licensed payment partner with your deal reference; our team confirms receipt during working hours. Online payment (Tap / MyFatoorah) is coming soon.
A 2.5% fee on the car price paid by the buyer on top, plus a flat bank transfer fee. The seller receives the full car price with zero deductions.
Yes — either party can cancel before the payment is placed on hold with the licensed payment partner, with no fees at all.
