The published auction “end” time is the time bidding closes on the first lot. Lots close every 12 seconds, and this staggering of end times allows for more comfortable bidding on multiple lots in the same auction. You may have heard about “sniping”—a slang term that refers to bids left in the fraction of a second before a lot closes, making it difficult for other bidders to respond. To make sure this doesn’t happen, our platform has a “soft close”. Any bids placed on a lot within a minute of closing will automatically reset the countdown timer for another minute. Make sure you pay attention to your watched lots, or your email, for outbid alerts during the time your items are closing.

A 15% buyer’s fee will be added to your total amount and will be seen on your emailed invoice. This fee is the cost that the auction website charges for each listing as well as individual bids made on each item.

Price Drop USA Auctions cannot remove bids once placed. We have no set prices. You, the buyer, are responsible for honoring bids, understanding the quality of the items you are bidding on and which items you choose to bid on. Retail prices displayed are intended to be helpful, but we cannot be held responsible for any errors. Buyers must do their own research on all lot details such as price. We do our best to put known issues in the title of the item, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the bidder to understand what you are bidding on. This is an auction, not a retail store. While the items we sell are high quality, some may have flaws.

There are occasions where we will auction off lots that have multiple items of the same type.

Example: Apple Airpods x20

This means that you are bidding on all 20 AirPods. If the current bid is $20 dollars, that means you are bidding $20 dollars each x 20 Apple AirPods. This brings your total amount due to $400.
