Frequently Asked Questions for Buyers
How do automated maximum bids work?
When you enter a bid, you specify the maximum amount you are willing to pay. The automated bidding agent places the lowest necessary increment on your behalf up to your ceiling. If no one outbids you, you win the item at the lowest possible price.
What happens if a bid is placed in the final seconds?
If a bid is received during the closing minutes, the auction end time automatically extends by approximately 2–3 minutes so that all bidders have a fair chance to react. Sniping in the last second is impossible!
How does worldwide shipping work?
Auctionet provides integrated global shipping. Once the auction ends, you can order insured delivery right to your door with a single click. Shipping prices and carrier options are clearly displayed on every lot page before you bid.
Can I inspect the item before bidding?
Absolutely! All cataloged objects are available for public viewing and inspection at our Katrineholm or Arboga premises during opening hours.
