NOTE that not all sellers offer shipping, and not all items in the auction have shipping. Review before bidding.
Look for the Shipping badge on the auction. It means shipping is available for at least some items.
Tap Shippable to filter the auction for shippable items, then open an item to review its shipping details and terms.
Go to the lot to see if shipping is available for the lot, and to read the shipping terms. Shipping options and costs can vary by item, so check the listing before you bid. Sellers might choose to ship within the country or within the Province/State.
When placing a bid, you can select Shipping or Pickup.
If you choose Shipping, you’ll be prompted to enter your address.
Depending on the seller’s setup, the shipping cost may be charged to the credit card on file when you select shipping, or the seller may send you an invoice to pay, or have you do a eTransfer before shipping the lots.
Remember that everything is as-is - so you agree to the terms when asking the seller to be shipped out.
NOTE that not all sellers offer shipping, and not all items in the auction have shipping. Review before bidding as the pickup terms (date/time/location) are strict and bids cannot be cancelled once placed.
How sellers enable shipping
To offer shipping for an auction:
1. Turn on shipping in Auction Settings and add your shipping terms.
2. Go to Pickup and Shipping and mark the individual items that can be shipped.
Be clear about where you ship, how packing and delivery are handled, and any costs or handling fees, and indicate if you are going to charge the card on file (which is the easiest option), or if you prefer them to send you a eTransfer before the items are released.
Sellers who do shipping handle it in different ways.
Some sellers pack and ship the items themselves (and charge your credit card on file, or have buyers do a eTransfer before releasing the items), and others bring the items to a local shipping store and have the buyer open an account with the store to arrange packing and shipping.
Some examples...
House 'n Order's policy for shipping enabled lots: "Shipping is available in Canada only for small, non-fragile items only (like jewelry, spoons, etc). Most items will ship for about $35."
Clutter Relief's policy for shipping enabled lots: "Items marked shippable are $15 handling each and $25 for multiple lots plus Xpresspost costs payable by etransfer before shipping. Shipped within 1 week of auction close."
The Downsizing Doula's policy for shipping enabled lots: "My shipping policy is this: if it's small enough for me to carry to Mail Plus, I'll do that and ship from there. You will pay me for the shipping costs and $25 for my time via Zelle."
Grand Auctions' policy for shipping enabled lots: "$25 shipping/insurance/tracking fee applies ONCE for unlimited items shipped."
NOTE: Not all sellers offer shipping as they prefer local pickup. Whichever method you use, explain it in the item’s shipping terms so buyers know what to expect.
