In an auction, you place bids on a product within a set time frame. Place your bid before the auction closes; the highest bidder gets the first opportunity to complete the purchase with the seller.

At Outlet Specialist you can acquire your favourite products in several ways. Here are the differences:

• Regular bidding: This process is usually ongoing or linked to specific listings.
• Make an offer: Here you negotiate directly with Outlet Specialist to get the best price.
• Auctions: This is a live game where you compete directly with other bidders. Auctions have a fixed start and end time, minimum bid increments and a visible countdown clock. The item always goes to the highest bidder.

No, there are no hidden costs.

You always bid without buyer's premiums or surprises afterwards. The amount you bid is exactly the price you pay once your bid is accepted. The only additional cost at checkout is the shipping fee, which depends on the destination country and the shipping method you select.

All bids are completely non-binding. Placing a bid does not create a purchase obligation. If your bid is accepted after the auction, you can still choose whether to proceed. If you do not pay within 24 hours, the product will be assigned to the second highest bidder.

o Open the auction listing.

o Enter your bid (equal to or higher than the minimum bid increment).

o Confirm your bid. You will immediately see your current position.

Each auction shows a minimum bid increment (the smallest amount by which you must beat the highest bid). You can see this next to the bid field.

Simply set your maximum bid and let our system do the work.

After the auction closes, the highest bid is submitted to the seller for review. You will be notified immediately of the outcome. If accepted, you will automatically receive an email with order instructions.

If the seller accepts your highest bid, you will receive a payment link to complete the checkout. You can proceed or decline — without penalties.

Yes. Sellers can set a minimum price (reserve). If the highest bid falls below expectations, the seller can decline or make a counter-offer.

A confidential minimum price the seller wishes to achieve. If the reserve is not met, the seller can still accept, decline or negotiate.

You can always place additional bids during the auction. Withdrawal policy is shown per auction; since bids are non-binding, withdrawal is usually unnecessary, but abuse may lead to account restrictions.

The auction page shows your current position (e.g. "Highest bidder"). You will also receive email/app notifications when you have been outbid or when the auction is about to end.
