How to Place Bids on Auctions

Here’s everything you need to know about bidding on ITAD Auctions.

Placing a Bid

Bidding is simple:

• Open the auction listing you’re interested in
• Enter your bid – it must be higher than the current bid
• Click Place Bid to submit

Tip: Bid realistically based on the product’s value for a better chance of winning.

Auto-Bidding

Let the system bid for you — and save time.

What is Auto-Bidding?

Auto-Bidding automatically raises your bid to stay ahead, up to your personal max.

How to set it up:

• Click Set Auto-Bid on the listing
• Enter your maximum bid (the highest you're willing to pay)
• The system will outbid others by the minimum increment until your max is reached
• Your maximum is kept confidential — only you can see it.

Key Rules to Remember

• Winning: You win only if your bid meets or exceeds the seller’s target price
• If not met, the seller has 48h to accept or reject
• No takebacks: Bids can’t be withdrawn once placed
• Multiple bidders: Others can also bid or set Auto-Bids — stay alert!

Notifications You’ll Receive

• If you’re outbid – so you can react
• When the auction ends – including win/loss result

After the Auction Ends

If you’re the winning bidder:

• You’ll get an email with seller contact info
• You arrange payment and shipping directly

If your bid didn’t meet the target price:

• The seller has 48h to decide whether to accept or decline
