Bidder understands and agrees that you will be held responsible for having made all bids that are made using Bidder's account, even when such bids are made in error.

In the event a seller withdraws an item from this auction prior to the close of the auction, the Auctioneer may leave the item on the catalog and buy the item back on behalf of the seller to establish the Auctioneer's earned commission and the Buyer's Premium due to the Auctioneer from the seller.

Items' closing times will be displayed on the website, but may be extended past their scheduled closing time, as a result of the dynamic closing feature. Dynamic Closing: The closing time of an item is generally extended an additional three minutes whenever a bid is placed within the three minutes leading up to an item's scheduled closing time.

Any Bidder's attempt to re-register after having been suspended - whether directly by creating a new account or indirectly by using or directing the use of a third party's account - will constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions, and may expose the Bidder to civil and criminal liability for fraud. Auctioneer further reserves the right to refund the Bidder and eject any Bidder or agent thereof from any premises or platform if the Bidder becomes disruptive.
