BidRush — May 2026 Release
Integrated Shipping
Shipping (optional to set by seller) is now fully built into the auction flow:
- Sellers can enable shipping (optional) and choose exactly which lots qualify
- Bidders can select local pickup (default) or shipping (for enabled lots)
- After close, sellers download a packing list with buyer addresses
- Sellers can charge cards directly (or send invoices) based on shipping terms they set (as shown in the example)
What used to take hours of back-and-forth emails now takes minutes!
Cash / ACH Payments (Sellers)
More control over how you get paid:
- Optionally enable Cash* or ACH** on specific lots, or leave credit card default
- Reduce Stripe payment processing fees by ~2.9% when Cash or ACH
- Bidders still need to register with their credit card for authorization
* puts a hold on the buyer credit card until pickup
**puts a hold for 10% of the invoice on the credit card until pickup; ACH is US only; see Stripe costs related to ACH - If not picked up (or if bidder changes their mind and wants to charge their card on file) seller can click the button to charge their card
- To enable these options, seller needs to add credit card so BidRush fees will be charged to credit card on file
UI / UX Improvements
We’ve significantly refined the experience for both buyers and sellers:
- Cleaner, faster interface across the platform
- Improved search to find items faster and more intuitively
- Search only shippable lots
- Search by Category or by Keyword
- Search across BidRush platform level, or across specific seller or specific auction
Ability to Ban Buyers
Sellers can now ban buyers themselves from their stores for any terms/conditions violations.
Various Seller Updates
Better tools, less friction:
- Enhanced seller pages with contact info, website, and social links
- Ability to retry failed credit card payments
- PDF invoices now show the seller's store logo
- Settlement and Pickup reports are updated for more clarity
- Pickup reports now include an optional buyer signature field
- If the buyer credit card declines (which is rare as it's validated when we submit) it will indicate reason, and seller will have the ability to retry charge.
- Mark content as sensitive for user to click to view (setting for lot available on web/mobile web only)
Various Buyer Updates
More control and clarity:
- Bidders can tap the bid total on item pages to see a breakdown (hammer price, buyer's premium, taxes)
- Ability to reduce max bids (down to the current highest bid) by clicking on "cancel max bid"
- Seller contact info and pickup details now front and centre on invoice page and their invoices
- Floating bar to quickly access Bids and Watchlist
These are just a fraction of a number of updates made! Thank you to all those sellers and bidders who contributed to the suggestions!

Why do sellers choose BidRush?
The ability to offset platform fees to near zero is a major advantage. Combine that with integrated shipping, direct access to buyers, and the flexibility to edit catalogs while auctions are live—and the choice becomes clear.
