Payment
Registering for an auction incurs no fees. Upon your initial registration, a $1 USD charge is processed to validate the card, which will be refunded within a few days. Your credit card will only be charged if you win an auction and fail to pay within the designated pickup period. Upon winning, you must settle your payment during the scheduled pickup timeframe. Accepted payment methods include cash, Debit, Visa, or Mastercard, Failure to collect your items within the allotted time will result in charges to your credit card for the winning bid amount, along with applicable Buyer's Premium, taxes, and the first day's storage fee as specified in the auction terms. If your purchases exceed your credit limit, a deposit may be charged to your card, with the remaining balance due within one day of the auction's close, either in person at our facility or via wire transfer.
Payments must be made 24 hours after the auction closes. If there is an issue or payment is declined online, please contact us to arrange payment in person, if you do not contact us in advance, the item will be listed as abandoned. Payments can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Debit or cash online. E-Transfer option is also available, the email for this option is info@bargaindepot.ca
Buyer's Premium & Handling Fee
Online Auctions are subject to a 14% Buyer's Premium, which is an additional fee added to your bid amount. It's important to consider the Buyer's Premium when placing your bids. For instance, if you bid $10, the Buyer's Premium of $1.40 will be added, making your actual bid $11.40. Taxes apply to the Buyer's Premium. The Handling fee is $1 per item.
Reviewing Bids
