Why am I required to add a credit card before placing a bid?


A valid credit or debit card is required to verify your account and establish a secure, trustworthy bidding environment. This verification process helps prevent fraudulent activity and ensures that all bids are placed by users who intend to complete their purchases. Maintaining this standard protects the integrity of our auctions and provides a fair experience for all participants.

 

Please note that while a card is required for verification purposes, it does not have to be your final method of payment. We accept cash, wire transfers, checks and offer a 3% cash discount when these methods are used.
