🛒 Buying

These answers solve most questions about buying:

How bidding works

Enter the most you're happy to pay. SwiftSaves bids for you automatically, only as much as needed to keep you winning, up to your maximum.

  • If someone bids more than your maximum, you're outbid and we tell you.
  • If someone bids in the last few minutes, the auction is extended so everyone gets a fair chance.
  • When it ends, the highest bidder wins and gets an order to pay.

Your maximum is private: the seller and other bidders only see the current price.

Buy It Now and Make an Offer

Buy It Now: buy straight away at the listed price.

Make an Offer: on items that show "or Best Offer", name your price. The seller can accept, decline or send a counter-offer. An accepted offer becomes an order you pay for, just like Buy It Now.
