Bidding
a)
You must be a registered user to bid on items. By bidding, you
are stating that you are ready and willing to purchase that item for your bid
amount, plus any shipping charges disclosed by the seller if he agrees on “home-delivery”.
If you are outbid (when someone bids higher), you are under no obligation to
buy. But in all other cases, you are entering a contract to buy the item, and
to pay upon the agreement with the seller of the product through messages,
calls, or in-person meeting within the seller-specified time period specified (at the end of auction). If you
cannot pay, please don’t bid. Your bids are final and
non-retractable. PIPDIL is no way responsible for your tracking or handling
your payment.
b)
Current bid expires once someone raises the amount higher than the
current amount and a new bid has to be made to win the bid.
c)

must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid ID card which might be requested
by the seller/buyer if necessary to confirm the authenticity of the auction. PIPDIL
is not responsible for any fraudulent activity conducted by the sellers or
buyers, solely because, the agreement to purchase a financial product must
occur between a buyer and a seller independently, PIPDIL is rather offering a
platform to contact the seller virtually, but the agreement and any further contractual
activity is happened only by the sellers and the buyers. PIPDIL reserves the
right to refuse to register or admit any person at its sole discretion. Your
registration will be accepted but your information will be verified, and your

the account.

or item is absolutely restricted and prohibited on PIPDIL platforms. Users will
be banned and might be brought under the country’s persistent law.
c)
Sellers are recommended to sell their products at a “realistic
price” (“Starting bidding price has to be set in a way that the final bid or
the “highest bid” does not exceed the market value for that particular product).
It is also highly recommended not to manipulate the sellers or buyers in any
way. The buyers are recommended to justify and examine the product in real life
after coming a mutual agreement through “chatting” option on PIPDIL or via email/social
media platforms, phone, etc. before final-payment.
d)
In order to list a product sellers must have an account on PIPDIL.
All the mandatory fields are to be filled out while listing a product or an
item or several items on the system termed as “Sell now.”
e) The price of the respective
item will be decided by the “highest bid” on the listed product/auction. If the
seller decides not to sell the product because of a low expected “highest bid” the
seller is recommended not to deny selling the product, rather a justifiable “start
bidding price” should be set before listing any product on the platform.
f) Prior to listing products, any
mistakes can not be edited, rather a deletion of the posted product is possible
under “My auction.”
g)
Users must not share any of their personal contact information to
third party unless it is permitted by both the seller/buyer if necessary. PIPDIL
is not responsible for any interaction between a seller and a buyer.
h)
Buyers/Bidders are recommended to “Raise a bid” only when they are
willing to pay the amount given that they might win the product on a “highest
bid” basis.
Payment and Processing
a) In principle, the
payment will be complete via a “Cash on delivery” method. The “top three highest
bidders” will be notified by the system after winning an auction. “Highest
bidders” thus can send a message through “Message seller” option that is generated
on the system for a certain period of time. Buyer/The Highest bidder must contact
the seller. An inability of the winner/highest bidder to contact the sellers
after winning multiple auctions for a few times will lead the User’s ID to a
permanent ban. Any deal, contract, or agreement would completely depend on the
seller and the buyer in every case. After reaching to an agreement, buyer can purchase
the product to the seller at an agreed location. If Seller agrees to the home-delivery”
option an additional charge may or may not be added to the highest bidding
amount that depends on the Seller.
