All listings through our Platform are Fixed-Price listings. Sellers may post a Listing for an Item at a fixed price. The fixed price is the amount the Seller is willing to accept. Buyers may then send an offer to be accepted by the Seller or purchase the item from the Seller at the Fixed-Price. Fixed-price Listings allow the Seller to list a quantity of the same items in a single Listing, which includes the total quantity of items available and the fixed price of each item. A potential Buyer may purchase one item or multiple items, up to the total quantity available. When a Seller posts a Listing for an Item at a fixed price, the Seller will have the ability to accept offers lower than the Fixed-Price amount. There is no auto-accept feature on our Platform.
An offer is a commitment to buy the Item at the offered price. The offer will be active for forty-eight (48) hours and cannot be retracted once sent.
If the Seller accepts the offer, the Item is sold at the offer price. The Seller may not propose a counter-offer. If the Seller takes no action within forty-eight (48) hours, the offer is automatically declined.

Please be aware that even if you do not provide your real name, your web browser transmits a unique Internet address to us that can be used by law enforcement officials to identify you. Do not test our auctions with false bids. This puts you at substantial personal legal risk. Fraudulent bidders will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of Applicable Law.
