I have an AuctionACCESS card, does that mean I'm registered at all auctions?
Your AuctionACCESS card simplifies the registration process at all participating auctions. However, since each auction operates independently they each have their own business procedures and requirements. In order to register with a new auction you plan to visit please choose one of the following three options:
- Pre-Register with the auction by using myACCESSsm.
- Contact the auction you wish to attend prior to the sale and provide them with your AuctionACCESS number.
- Register with the auction on the day of the sale using your AuctionACCESS card.
My AuctionACCESS card doesn't work, what should I do?
There are several reasons that an AuctionACCESS card might stop working. They include:
- You are not registered at the auction at which you are trying to use the card. In this case, you will need to stop by Dealer Registration so that the auction can activate you.
- The Dealer License or other required document for your dealership has expired since your last visit to an auction. Some auctions will temporarily deactivate a dealership under these conditions. Stop by Dealer Registration to resolve the situation.
- Your status at the auction will not permit you to buy or sell until speaking with an auction representative in Dealer Registration. Stop by Dealer Registration to resolve the situation.
- You've reported the card lost or stolen. If you find a card that you had previously reported as lost or stolen, throw it away and wait for your new card. A lost card is permanently deactivated immediately upon AutoTec's notification of a lost or stolen card.
- The magnetic stripe on the back of the card is dirty. An alcohol swab will clean the stripe and usually resolves this problem.
- The magnetic stripe has been demagnetized. You will need to request a new card. You can do this in any auction's Dealer Registration department.
Why do you require a form of photo identification?
One of the outcomes of the tragedy of September 11th has been an increased government requirement for businesses to "know their customers". To assist our customers with this requirement, we require a valid form of photo identification to help them recognize their buyers and sellers. Using the photo as well as the identification number from the photo identification provides the auction with the information they need to stay in government compliance. It also helps protect you against possible identity theft. Valid forms of photo identification are a state or province issued driver's license, a state or province issued "official identification" card, a U.S., Canadian or Mexican passport, or a Mexican voter registration card.
Is it safe to use this site for my personal information?
myACCESSsm uses an industry standard encryption scheme for all your information. Encryption helps protect your private information so that a third party cannot read it. Encryption is the scrambling of information for online transmissions back and forth between two points. AutoTec's goal is to keep your information safe. When you fill out an online registration form or provide personal information, you transmit this information to AutoTec over the Internet. Accessing your AuctionACCESS dealership or representative information online also involves Internet transmissions between your computer and AutoTec. All online transmissions are encrypted. The effectiveness or level of security, for encryption is measured in terms of bits. 128-bit encryption is the industry standard encryption scheme currently in use. myACCESSsm requires a browser that can support 128-bit encryption.
