New to online auctions or just want to make sure you're set up for success? We’ve got you covered. Here are answers to the most common questions about bidding and buying with NexBid.

Faq

How do I register to bid?

To bid in any NexBid auction, you’ll need to:


  1. Visit our Current Auctions page
  2. Click on any auction to view the catalog
  3. Hit "Register to Bid" and follow the steps to create your free account
  4. Once registered, you can place bids immediately
  5. 💳 A valid credit card is required for verification purposes.

Is it free to bid?

Yes! Bidding is completely free. You only pay if you win an item.

How do I place a bid?

Once you’re registered:


  1. Browse the auction catalog
  2. Choose an item and enter your bid
  3. You can place a one-time bid or a maximum bid (the system will automatically increase your bid only when necessary to maintain your winning status)

All bids start at $4, and the item sells to the highest bidder once the auction closes.

What is a "max bid"?

A max bid is the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item. The system will bid for you incrementally, only increasing when someone else places a competing bid up to your set maximum.

Do all items have reserves?

In most cases all items will start at only $4.00 with no reserve prices and they sell to the highest bidder, every time. However, some higher end luxury items or when we have special auction event you may see some lots with a reserve price.

What is a Buyer’s Premium?

A 15% buyer’s premium is added to your winning bid total.
This helps cover processing, listing, and platform fees.

Example:
You win an item for $20
→ You pay $23.00 ($20 + 15% buyer’s premium)

How do I know if I’ve won?

You’ll receive an email invoice shortly after the auction closes.
You can also log in to your account to view your winning bids and totals.

How do I pay?

We accept credit/debit card payment online through the auction platform and in person at pickup using:


  • Cash
  • Credit or debit
  • E-Transfer (details included on your invoice)

All winning items must be paid in full before they are released.

🗓 Pickup times:
Within 2 days after the auction closes.
Hours are typically posted in each auction’s description.

Can I send someone else to pick up for me?

Yes, just make sure they have a copy of your invoice, an ID and your approval to pick up your items.

Can items be shipped?

Yes, we offer shipping on most items, which will be clearly marked as “Shipping Available.” While we take great care in securely packaging glass items, please note that Canada Post does not insure them. Although we've successfully shipped hundreds of fragile items, damage can occasionally occur. Shipping glass is at your own risk, and we cannot offer refunds, exchanges, or credits for breakage during transit. 

NOTE: Currently, we are only shipping within Canada via Canada Post due to imposed tariffs faced by our US customers. If you reside in the US and still wish to place bids and have your won items shipped to you regardless of tariffs, please contact us before bidding.

What if I forget to pick up?

If picking up your won items in person, you must do so within 2 days of auction close unless prior arrangements have been made. If you do not pick up your items or fail to make arrangements, your items will become the property of NexBid to dispose of, or place in auction.You may also be banned from future auctions

Please ensure that you’re available during the scheduled pickup times or communicate with us if an issue arises.

Are all sales final?

Yes. All items are sold as-is, where-is, with no warranties or returns. We do our best to provide accurate descriptions and photos.
