Sellers are free to decide whether they want to receive a bid. If the seller is open to accept a bid, then you as a buyer can make a single bid.

If you want to accept your counterbid or accepted bid, you have 5 days to pay before it expires. Please note that your bid is not binding, and the item remains for sale to others.

It is not possible to purchase a product with an accepted bid in combination with a discount code.

Important information: it is not always possible to book all transportation through our transportation company. Items that are larger than the dimensions of the canisters will need to be booked through an additional party such as Brenger or Pickthisup. Additional additional costs will be borne by the buyer in this regard. Should the buyer not agree to the additional charges, the order may be cancelled at no charge.

Congratulations on your sale! You will receive a confirmation of the sale in your mailbox. The next steps depend on the chosen shipping / pickup method of the buyer.

PostNL shipping: within 24 hours after the sale you will automatically receive a shipping label. Use this label for your package. The package must be posted within five working days.

Transport: if the buyer chooses transport, you need to let us know when the item can be collected. As a seller, you need to be available on weekdays between 09:00 - 18:00 for the transport. On the day of pick-up, the item needs to be standing by the front door and you need to help the delivery person if needed.
Pick-up from home: if the buyer chooses this option, the buyer will pick up the order. After the purchase you both will be connected in a chat to discuss the pick up. Make sure to both confirm in the chat that the item has been picked up. This is needed to approve the payment for your item.

How do I determine the condition of my products?

There are three ways to categorize your product; new, good as new and used.

New: The product has not been used and it contains no damage or signs of use.
Good as new: the product is used, but there is no damage or traces of use such as stains
Used: the product has been used and it contains some damage or signs of use such as stains, but it is still usable.

Notice:

It is important that all damages and traces of use are clearly indicated in the ad by means of photos and text. Does your product deviate from the stated condition? Then the buyer can request a return. You will be held responsible for the cost as it was your responsibility to provide a clear description / pictures of the damages.

SHIPPING

How should I ship a product?
