How Auctions Work

Auctions on BuySellBid

Auctions let sellers get the best possible price for their items while giving buyers the chance to win great deals.

How to Bid

Find an auction listing and enter your maximum bid amount. Click Place Bid. If someone outbids you, you will receive an email notification so you can bid again.

Auction End Time

Every auction has a countdown timer showing exactly when it ends. The highest bidder when the timer reaches zero wins the item.

Winning an Auction

If you win, you will receive a notification and be taken to checkout to complete payment. You are obligated to pay for items you win — only bid if you genuinely intend to buy.

How to List an Auction

When creating a listing, choose Auction as the listing type. Set your starting bid price, reserve price (optional) and auction duration.

Reserve Price

A reserve price is the minimum amount you are willing to sell for. If bidding does not reach your reserve, you are not obligated to sell. The reserve price is hidden from bidders.

Can I Cancel a Bid?

Bids are generally binding. Contact support immediately if you placed a bid in error and we will review on a case by case basis.
