By accessing and using our auction platform, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.
Permission is granted to temporarily access our platform for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not:
This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by us at any time.
To participate in auctions, you must create an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
By placing a bid or completing a purchase, you agree to our Refunds and Dispute Resolution Policy, which explains dispute eligibility, return requirements, and how refunds are processed.
Nothing in these Terms limits statutory consumer rights that apply when buying from a commercial seller. Auction sales generally do not include a cooling-off cancellation right, but goods must still be as described and of satisfactory quality where applicable.
If a material misdescription is discovered after the standard dispute window, we may still review the matter and take action in line with our Refunds and Dispute Resolution Policy.
Certain items are prohibited from being listed on our platform, including but not limited to illegal items, stolen goods, counterfeit goods, weapons, hazardous materials, and items that infringe on intellectual property rights. You are responsible for ensuring your listings comply with all applicable laws and regulations. For detailed definitions and examples, please see our Prohibited Items Policy.
Buyers pay a platform fee in addition to the winning bid. The current buyer fee is 5% of the winning bid, but this percentage may change. For example, a winning bid of 100 means the buyer pays 105 in total.
Platform fees are generally non-refundable. If a refund is approved due to non-delivery (for example, the seller failed to ship or the item was not received) or the seller account is deleted, platform fees are returned, but payment processing fees are still deducted from the refund amount. For other approved refunds, platform fees are not returned.
All payments are processed through secure third-party payment processors. We do not store your full payment details on our servers, but we may store references to your payment method via our processor to enable off-session charges. Payment processing fees charged by third-party payment providers are non-refundable and will be deducted from any approved refund. This reflects costs already incurred in processing the original transaction.
Payment processing fees charged by third-party payment providers (for example, Stripe fees) are non-refundable and are deducted from any approved refund. This applies to all refund routes and dispute outcomes.
If you request account deletion, your account will enter a pending deletion period. Your account will be deleted after 14 days, or sooner once all outstanding obligations are cleared. During this time, if you have won auctions or unpaid invoices, we may automatically attempt to charge your default payment method to fulfill your legal obligations. Sellers may be provided your default shipping address so they can ship items without separate address confirmation.
The platform and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of our company and its licensors. The platform is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
You retain ownership of any content you submit to our platform, but you grant us a license to use, display, and distribute that content in connection with our services.
You agree not to:
Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the platform, to understand our practices regarding the collection and use of your personal information.
The information on this platform is provided on an 'as is' basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Company:
In no event shall our company, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of the platform.
We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the platform immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including but not limited to a breach of the Terms.
If you wish to terminate your account, navigate to the Privacy section of your account settings and use theDelete Account option.
These Terms shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which our company is incorporated, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.
