Pre-Bids FAQ

What happens if I don't win the auction?

You won't be charged.

Do pre-bids expire?

Yes. If the auction isn't held within 3 days, your pre-bid expires automatically.

Can I change or cancel my pre-bid?

You can increase your maximum bid at any time, but you can't cancel a pre-bid once it's placed, unless the listing is cancelled or the pre-bid expires.

What happens if two buyers set the same maximum pre-bid?

The buyer who placed it first wins, unless someone bids higher during the live auction.

What happens if a pre-bid winner doesn't pay?

The item is automatically offered to the next highest bidder. See the Second Chance FAQ.

What happens if I win?

You'll get a chat message confirming your win, followed by a payment confirmation. You can check all your bids anytime in Profile → Your Bids.
