Bid with a clear plan.
Buyer bidding policy. $50 card authorization is required before bidding. Winning buyers have seven days to pay. Nonpayment charges the authorized $50 and restricts the buyer; unsuccessful holds are released. Authorization must cover the auction and payment deadline.
Seller payouts default to held until confirmed payment, signed release, title release and pickup proof; admin release is required. Only admin-marked Trusted Sellers can qualify for immediate payout after buyer payment. Open cases, holds and restrictions block release.
Use Harbor-Bid messages for seller questions. Every message is reviewed before delivery. Sharing personal contact details or arranging an off-site transaction is prohibited.
A bid in the final 2 minutes extends the auction to 2 minutes remaining. Launch pilot private sales: 7.5% buyer premium + $99 document fee; seller pays 0% commission and no listing fee. Industry professionals: no seller/listing fee; buyer pays the displayed premium + $99 document fee. Taxes and transport are extra. Inspect before committing; read title and condition disclosures.
