If payment is not received, the Auction House will take legal action and will leave negative feedback. After 48 hours of no payment, the Bidder agrees that the items won are considered abandoned and will be returned to the Auction House, however, the bidder is still responsible for the full payment. 7.

The Auction House primarily uses USPS, UPS and Freight services for shipping of lots. The Auction House will only charge the actual shipping costs (using discounted services) plus the cost of packaging and shipping material. Insurance is optional and may be added for an additional fee. The bidder agrees that they’re responsible for all damages that occur during shipment and will not hold the Auction House responsible. The Auction House will only ship to the address on file with HiBid. 8. Removal: The Bidder agrees to pick up all items on time within scheduled removal dates of that specific auction unless other arrangements have been made.
