2.a) If you want vehicle decommissioning from traffic use, you need to inform us right after payment - After payment we ask you to fill the information of the person or company in whose name you want the vehicle registration to be made. If you don't give the needed information right after payment, you can do so by logging in with your username afterwards. You will see the vehicle(s) waiting for registration information immediately on the front page:

Huutokaupat.com is the seller of the vehicle, so we are responsible for any feedback or complaint. (If the seller is someone else than Huutokaupat.com, we will forward your feedback to the correct address.)
- Before driving the vehicle, check if it is comissioned. It can be checked on Traficom's e-Service or by calling them
- Huutokaupat.com takes the vehicle for comissioning by default, unless otherwise agreed. While Huutokaupat.com is owner of vehicle, there is (group motor liability) insurance for the vehicle. Please note, that the insurance covers damage to the innocent party's property. We recommend obtaining your own, (extensive) insurance before picking up the vehicle or as soon as possible afterwards.

Make notification of the ownership change within 7 days of the date when Huutokaupat.com has transferred the vehicle to you. At the same time, you can also add other owners or holders for the vehicle. Note that the vehicle must have valid insurance before you can register it.
- After the payment it usually takes 3-5 business days to make the change of ownership. If you haven't received a message from us in a week and a half or the vehicle does not appear in Traficom's My e-Service, please contact customer service.
