How to Buy Now

Buy Now lets you take a lot at its fixed price instead of waiting for the auction to close. Here’s exactly what happens — including the deposit that secures it.

1

Find a listing with a Buy Now price

Not every auction has one. Listings that offer it show a Buy Now price under the current bid.

2

Sign in to your account

Buy Now is tied to a signed-in account, so the reservation, your documents and the delivery go to the right buyer.

3

Confirm the commitment

Before anything happens you see the price and the deposit it requires, and confirm that you intend to complete the purchase. Buy Now is a binding offer at that price.

4

The lot is reserved for you

Bidding stops and the lot is held in your name. You receive an email with the deposit amount — usually 50% of the price — and a deadline 48 hours away.

5

Pay the deposit and send the receipt

Pay by bank wire, then email the bank receipt to sales@autobid24h.com with the listing ID. Once it is matched, we confirm by email and request the balance.

6

Documents and delivery

Your purchase agreement, invoice and shipping quote are in My Purchases straight away; the bill of sale follows payment in full. We then schedule transport and email you a tracking code.

Common Questions

Does Buy Now end the auction?
It pauses it. The lot is reserved in your name and bidding stops while the deposit is outstanding. Once the deposit is confirmed the lot is yours to complete; if it is not received in time, the lot goes back into the auction.
What if I don’t pay the deposit in time?
The hold is released automatically and the lot returns to the auction with the earlier bids intact. Nothing is charged to you.
Is the deposit an extra fee?
No. It is part of the price and comes off your total. Some lots ask for 20%, 50% or the full amount up front — the figure is shown before you confirm.
Is the Buy Now price negotiable?
The Buy Now price is fixed. It reflects the seller’s price for an immediate sale — you can always bid instead.
What if two people click Buy Now?
Only one reservation can succeed. The first one confirmed holds the lot; the other buyer is told straight away that it is no longer available, and owes nothing.
