No. Bidding in the WCF $1 Auction is always 100% free. If you win an item, you pay the seller directly, and 100% of your payment goes to the seller.
Simply comment your bid amount under the auction post. Make sure your bid is higher than the current highest bid and placed before the auction end time.
Once the auction ends, the seller will announce the winning bidder in the comments and contact them to arrange pickup and payment.
Payment is made directly to the seller using the payment method they listed in their auction (cash, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, etc.). Payment methods accepted are always mentioned in the description of the auction. Be sure to check before bidding
Pickup is arranged directly between you and the seller. Be sure to communicate promptly to schedule a convenient pickup time. Pick up location is always mentioned in the description of the auction. Be sure to check location before bidding.
If you don't hear from a seller regarding pick up 24 hours after an auction ends contact a WCF $1 Auction admin with a link to the auction post so we can help.
We encourage all buyers to inspect items before completing the purchase whenever possible. If an item is significantly different from the description, try to resolve the issue with the seller first. If you believe a seller intentionally misrepresented an item, please report it to the WCF $1 Auction admin team.
Simply comment "Timestamp" in the auction feed when it ends and tag an admin. A timestamp verifies exactly when a bid was posted if there is ever a question about the order of bids.
No. All bids are considered binding. Please only bid on items you intend to purchase and can pick up.
Use clear photos, write an honest description, choose a popular pickup location, bump your item regularly, let bidders know when they're out bid and remind bidders when your auction is close to ending.
All Auctions run for 48 hours to give members plenty of time to bid.
Yes, if your item doesn't sell or the winning bidder doesn't complete the purchase, you're welcome to repost it as a new auction.
