Our new "Buy Now" feature allows you to buy the item being auctioned off in the specific auction without having to bid for it. If you do bid for it and decide you would prefer to buy it, the "Buy Now" feature uses the bids you used on the auction as a discount towards your purchase of the item.
On some auction pages, you will see a "Buy Now" window like below:
• Placed Bids: Here it will tell you how many bids you have used on the specific auction.
• Discount: Currently you receive a discount on the Item's Retail price of R5.00 with every bid you place on the auction. Meaning you receive 100% of the bid value back to buy the item!
• Item Price: This is the Retail value of the item in the auction.
• Your Buy Now Price: This is the item's price less the discount given back to you. When you click on the "Buy Now" button that is the price you will pay to buy the item, plus delivery.
When you click on the "Buy Now" button, you will taken to a confirmation page. When you accept the confirmation and click on the "Buy Now" button, the item will be added to your "Successful Auctions" page. There you can pay for the item plus delivery. Like as in our normal auctions, if after 7 days you have not confirmed by paying, the item will be removed from your "Successful Auctions".
Due to stock limits at our suppliers we can only offer the "Buy Now" on some items.
The following are examples and limitations of when you can't use the new "Buy Now" feature on Bidchaser.
• When there is no "Buy Now" window in the auction page, as the "Buy Now" is only available on certain items.
• You can use the "Buy Now" for 24 hours after the auction has ended, after the 24 Hours you will not be able to use it.
• You can only use the "Buy Now" feature once per auction.
• If you are the current highest bidder of the auction you won't be able to use the "Buy Now".
• If you are the Successful Bidder of the ended auction you won't be able to use the "Buy Now" feature.
