##### How to upgrade to a buyer account

All accounts registered on DreamCars initially do not have bidding enabled. This is because to bid, you must have payment information on file, and some people are simply here to browse, comment, or wait for their specific car. 

Once you are ready to begin your DreamCars buying experience, simply head over to https://dreamcars.com/settings/billing and click enable. 

From there you will be prompted to add billing information, and you are ready to go. 

For security reasons, all billing information is kept on (Stripe)[https://stripe.com/]

Upgrading to a buyer account

DreamCars uses an extensive system to notify all users of listings and information they should be aware of. Notifications are sent through our website, as well as through email and text message if enabled. 

By default, notifications will be enabled and disabled on the user dashboard which is viewable [in your user dashboard](https://dreamcars.com/settings/notifications).

##### General Notifications
The general notifications are primarily for account security, so you can notice any changes to your profile, password, or other login information. We do not recommend disabling these.

##### Listing Notifications
Listing notifications are default set to all alerts, which includes both your listings as well as your favorites. At any time you can change which results you are notified about by clicking the dropdown, selecting a different result and clicking "Save Changes" at the top of the page. 

##### Comment Notifications
Comment notifications are for our user comment section on any listings of yours as well as any you have favorited or interacted with. You may change your notification preferences by clicking the dropdown, changing your selection and clicking "Save Changes" at the top of the page. 

##### Promotion Notifications 
Promotional notifications are sent on occassion, and are not meant to overload your inbox. Generally these will include seller promotions, buyer promotions, and featured listings that go live. At any time you may change the promotion notifications you receive via this page or through your email by clicking "Unsubscribe."
