I won an auction. What do I do next?

Pay within 48 hours


A few minutes after the lot closes, we email you an invoice with a checkout link. It includes your winning bid plus shipping and any add-ons you choose. Pay through that link the same way you pay for any order.


You have 48 hours from the scheduled end of the auction to pay. We send a reminder before the deadline.


After you pay


We ship your items with tracking.


If you don't pay


An unpaid lot adds a strike to your account, and we may offer the lot to the next highest bidder.


Strikes

What happens

1

You cannot bid for 7 days

2

You cannot bid for 30 days

3

You can no longer take part in auctions


We only count strikes from the last 12 months.


If something is stopping you from paying, contact us before the deadline at support@greengatehobbies.com or 0919 655 6270.
