The page disappears from Vehistra
Once the request is approved, the auction page is gone from listings, site search and links between pages.
Removal policy
What paid removal covers
Paid removal covers auction pages that Vehistra publishes. Copies elsewhere are outside our control.
The address returns 410
Anyone opening the old URL, search engine crawlers included, gets a 410 Gone response instead of the car's details. It means the page was removed on purpose and will not come back.
Sitemap
We take the URL out of our sitemap, so search engines are no longer pointed to it.
Google and other search engines
Search engines drop the page the next time they visit the URL. We ask Google to speed this up, but the timing is up to Google.
What changes on Vehistra
Only the URL named in your request: its detail page, its listing cards, links from site search and its sitemap entry.
What does not change
We do not delete records held by the original auction provider or copies on third-party websites. Payment records, your account history and our internal log stay, because support and accounting need them.

Refunds
Our support and finance team reviews every refund request. A refund does not put a removed page back online automatically.
