How do I bid?
Every Auction will have an opening bid, which is the minimum amount you must bid to start the Auction for that item. Any bids placed below the highest bid will not be accepted. If someone bids more than you, you may continue to increase your initial bid as long as there is time left in the auction.
How will I know if I’ve won?
As a participant you will receive an email to confirm your bid has been received, when you have been outbid, when you are the highest bidder for an Auction item, and when you are the highest winning bidder for an Auction item.
I’ve won! Now what?
Congratulations! If you are the highest winning bidder, you will be notified via email with instructions and deadline to complete payment for the Auction Item. If you are confirmed as the highest winning bidder in an Auction and do not receive your winning confirmation email within 24 hours after the Auction closed, send an email to customer care requesting a re-issue of your confirmation email. Please note that if you are unable to successfully complete the checkout process within 24 hours, your winning bid will be forfeited.
How do I get my item(s)?
Your Auction Item(s) will be shipped to the mailing address provided at time of checkout within 10 days after successful completion of payment. All item(s) will be shipped with Signature Delivery Required, so please note that you will need to be present to receive your package(s). If you won more than one Auction Item or if your Auction Item contains more than one piece, your items may be shipped separately.
How much does Shipping cost?
Shipping costs vary depending on the size and weight of the Auction Item(s) and ship-to location and will be calculated at checkout.
