Bid Zone rules
Bid Zone runs live, credits-backed auctions. Credits keep bidding honest — every bid stakes some.
How an auction runs
Sellers schedule auctions with a start price and an optional hidden reserve. While the auction is live, the highest bid wins when the timer ends — if it meets the reserve.
Bids in the final 2 minutes extend the timer by 2 minutes (anti-sniping). All bid timestamps are recorded server-side on receipt.
Credits at risk
Each bid holds a small credit stake (shown on the auction page). If you win and pay within 24 hours, the stake is released. Outbid bidders get their stake back immediately.
Winning
Winners get a checkout link valid for 24 hours at the winning price. Membership tiers get early access to enter — Plus 5 minutes, Premium 15 minutes before public open.
