Before you bid
Every auction on Equip-Bid is run by a seller. Each one has its own terms, dates and pickup location, so a few minutes of reading now saves headaches later.
Can you cancel a bid?
A bid is a contract to buy, so it can't be removed. Learn why, what to do if you bid by mistake or change your mind, and what happens if you win and don't pay.
Extended bidding
Last-second bids can't steal a deal. Learn how extended bidding keeps an item open when someone bids in the final minutes, and how to plan for closing time.
How bidding works
Every bid on Equip-Bid is a max bid. See how automatic bidding keeps you in the lead, why you were outbid, how increments and ties work and per-unit bidding.
Starting bids and seller approval
Some sellers set a starting bid, the lowest bid they'll accept. Learn how starting bids work, where to find them and what happens if no one bids.
