BidSwiss is a secure, fully automated online auction platform that enables users to participate in timed auctions for various items. All auction processes, from bidding to payment collection, are automated and managed through our system.
By using BidSwiss, you confirm that:
Auctions are conducted in a standardized format with transparent bidding, automated increments, and fixed time durations.
Valid bids must meet the following criteria: (1) Bid amount must be higher than the current highest bid, (2) Bid must comply with minimum increment rules, (3) Bids are final once submitted and cannot be cancelled by the bidder.
Auctions run for fixed durations: 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. The timer is displayed in real-time. If a new bid is placed in the final seconds, the auction may be automatically extended to ensure fair competition.
If no bids are received before the scheduled end time, the auction will automatically restart at the same reserve price. The platform will continue to relaunch until a valid bid is received or the auction is manually cancelled by the administrator.
All bids are anonymized and displayed as "Offre #1", "Offre #2", etc. Bidder identities are not revealed to other participants during the auction. Only the auction winner and BidSwiss administrators know the winner's identity.
Auctions close automatically when the timer expires and no further bids can be placed. The highest bidder at that moment is declared the winner.
The auction winner is the user who placed the highest valid bid before the auction ended. In case of a tied bid (unlikely due to system precision), the earlier bid wins.
All auction winners must complete payment to finalize their purchase. Winning an auction creates a binding obligation to pay.
To participate in auctions, you must register a valid payment method (credit or debit card) with Stripe. We use Stripe's Setup Intent to authorize your card for future charges. This is a secure, PCI DSS Level 1 compliant process.
By registering your card, you authorize BidSwiss and Stripe to charge your card for your auction winnings. Charges are processed automatically when you win an auction.
If your card is declined or payment fails, the following actions may occur: (1) Our system will attempt to re-process the payment, (2) You will be notified of the failed payment, (3) You will have a limited time to update your payment method, (4) If payment is not received, your account may be suspended or terminated.
All auction sales are final. Refunds are only issued at BidSwiss's sole discretion and in cases of legitimate errors, platform failures, or fraudulent activity. Disputes are resolved according to Stripe's policies.
The final auction price is the amount you owe. Any additional platform fees or charges will be clearly disclosed before payment is processed.
You agree to use BidSwiss responsibly and in compliance with all applicable laws. Prohibited conduct includes:
