02

Add payment & account details

Complete your settings (e.g. payment methods) to ensure smooth and secure processing after winning an auction.

Tip: Use a payment method you use regularly – it saves time during checkout.
03

Find & watch auctions

Use categories, search, and filters to find suitable items. Add interesting auctions to your “Watchlist” so you don’t miss the bidding phase.

04

Place a bid

Enter your bid directly or use the bid agent: set your maximum bid, and the system will automatically increase your bid in small steps – only as much as needed to keep you in the lead.

Note: Check the minimum bid increment for each auction.
05

Winning & payment

If you win the auction, follow the payment instructions and arrange shipping or pickup as specified by the seller.

Important: Respect all payment deadlines. Late payments may result in exclusion from future auctions.
Set a limit: Define your maximum bid in advance and use the bid agent to avoid impulsive overbidding.
Watch the ending: Many bids come in shortly before the auction ends. Enable notifications and stay alert in the final minutes.
Check reviews: Review the seller’s profile and feedback – it builds trust.
How does the bid agent work?

You set a maximum bid. The system automatically increases your current bid in predefined steps but never beyond your limit. Other bidders cannot see your maximum bid.

Can I withdraw a bid?

Bids are binding. In justified exceptional cases, contact support immediately before the auction ends.

Are there any fees?

Any applicable fees will be displayed transparently before you place your bid. Always review the auction details carefully.
