Buyer

Getting Started

Download our app from PlayStore or App Store. After you have registered and created an account you will be able to sign in.

Search

You may scroll through the app to see if you find something that catches your eye. You can also filter your searches based on a category, distance, or price range. If you are looking for something specific you can search for that item too!

Start Bidding

Once you have honed in on an item that you like this is when the fun really starts. Place a bid and enjoy the process. Feel free to bid the maximum amount you are willing to spend on that item and let cBidz manage the auction process for you. We will only place the minimum amount that is necessary for you to win the item!

After Bidding

Once your bid is placed you will either be the highest bidder or someone else may have a higher price set and you will get outbid. Don't worry though if you do get outbid as long as there is time left in the auction you will be able to update your bid with a higher price if you so choose.

There's always another chance

If you have a winning bid and someone else comes in with a higher bid you will receive a message allowing you to bid again, as long as the auction is still live.

Win or Loose - The auction ends!

As the time for the auction comes to an end whoever has the highest bid wins the auction. The end time is definitive and doesn't change.

Buyer & Seller can message each other if they have any questions or need any clarification.

The extent of the service provided by cBidz is to provide a medium for two things:

  • Connect users, both – sellers and buyers; and
  • Let the auctioning platform determine the fair market value, based on the user community size, for the listed item.

cBidz does not mediate the payment aspect nor logistics with delivery/pickup. Listing an item should be considered a commitment to sell by the seller and a bid should be considered a commitment to buy the item at the respective prices. Once the auction closes, the buyer and seller connect and figure out delivery/pickup and payment options. The de facto method is pickup by the buyer unless the seller specifies delivery or is negotiated between the respective parties.
