Transactions

As a marketplace venue, Viewbid Auctions role is to connect buyers with sellers. As a buyer, when you place an order on Viewbid Auctions you enter into a transaction with a seller, facilitated by Viewbid Auctions. We are committed to providing a positive experience for both parties in every transaction on our marketplace. The following describes and explains our Transactions Policy:

• Seller lists item for sale.
   
• Buyer purchases item and pays the seller through an agreed payment method.  Viewbid Auctions will invoice the buyer the site premium which can be paid through the approved payment method (PayPal).
   
• Buyer is responsible for all shipping and handling fees unless stated elsewise in the seller's item listing.  If the seller elects to pay for shipping and handling, options in the listing details will allow them to communicate this with the buyer.  Prior to completing a sale, the buyer will be able to view who is responsible for shipping and handling fees via the item listing details. The final price of the listed item does not include shipping and handling fees. The party responsible for shipping and handling must arrange shipping within 30 calendar days after auction ends unless other terms are agreed upon by both parties.
   

 

A transaction is created when a buyer has completed the checkout process on Viewbid Auctions. Both the buyer and the seller are sent an email from Viewbid Auctions with information pertaining to the order and a receipt record in their Viewbid Auctions account.

Viewbid Auctions reserves the right to modify the above payment terms based on the ongoing or established relationship between Viewbid Auctions and Seller

In no event shall Viewbid Auctions be obligated for storage fees, transportation costs or any other fees, expenses or costs associated with any transaction to the extent the completion of a transaction is beyond Viewbid Auctions control in any way.

Buying, Bidding, or inquiring on an item

All transactions facilitated by Viewbid Auctions require the buyer to complete the transactions via the Site.  Transactions or agreements that take place outside of Viewbid Auctions, but faciliated by Viewbid Auctions, are subject to fees associated with buying an item. Viewbid Auctions reserves the right to investigate all transactions done via the Site and or Viewbid Auctions messaging system.  Transactions or agreements on an active listing on Viewbid Auctions outside of the provided communication channels are subject to the buyer's premium and account suspension.

Shipping

Buyer and Seller have discretion to use any shipper of their choice. Seller may offer shipping services if the buyer agrees to the terms of shipping.

Receipt of the shipment by the recipient without written notice of damage on the delivery record is prima facie evidence that the shipment was delivered in good condition.

Loading: Unless otherwise agreed to by the Buyer and Seller in writing, the Seller is responsible for the loading of sold Items onto the contracted shipper’s vehicle.

If crating is necessary, the Buyer is normally responsible for arranging and paying for crating services; provided, however, the Seller may offer skidding/crating to the Buyer, and if the Buyer agrees, any subsequent charge assessed by the seller to the buyer.

Delivery: Viewbid Auctions does not ship, nor assume responsibility for the shipment of any Items sold on the website. Any issues that arise in the course of shipping an Item are the responsibility of the Seller, Shipper and Buyer.

Handling and loading may be an extra charge and details of those charges will be provided by Seller or carrier prior to shipping. Seller must state additional charges for handling prior to invoicing buyer or forfeit the right to request additional monies.

Transaction concerns or disputes: We hope that your experience on Viewbid Auctions is smooth and hassle-free. In the event of a problem with a transaction, Viewbid Auctions encourages the buyer and seller to resolve the situation through Viewbid Auctions message system. There are two types of issues that a buyer may encounter: 1) a case of “non-delivery” or 2) a case of “item not as described”, as further described below.

Non-delivery: A non-delivery situation arises when a buyer placed an order, arranged shipping, submitted payment, but then did not receive the item. Viewbid Auctions encourages a buyer to first contact the seller via the message system to try to resolve the issue. If attempts at resolution are unsuccessful, and if the buyer used authorized payment method to make the purchase, the buyer should file a claim for refund of purchase under authorized payment vendor’s policies.

A seller who fails to ship an item, respond to a non-delivery case or settle a disputed transaction in a reasonable manner may be suspended.

Item not as described: An item is “not as described” if it is substantially different than explicitly agreed upon or if it is not fit for its intended use. Viewbid Auctions encourages a buyer to first contact the seller via the message system to try to resolve the issue. If attempts at resolution are unsuccessful, and if the buyer used an authorized payment vendor to make the purchase, the buyer should file a claim for refund of purchase under authorized payment vendor’s policies.

A seller who ships an item that is not as described, fails to respond to a case or settle a disputed transaction in a reasonable manner may be suspended.

Non-payment: Non-payment occurs when a buyer did not or cannot complete payment after a transaction has been created. The seller may flag a buyer for a payment not received, chargeback, or canceled payment. The seller may also invoice the buyer in an attempt to collect payment before shipping. Buyers who routinely do not pay for orders may be subject to review, which can result in suspension.

Transaction Cancellation

Sellers agree to complete valid transactions. On occasion, a seller may need to cancel an invalid or void transaction, as defined below. Only the seller in a transaction may cancel the transaction. When applicable, Viewbid Auctions will issue a credit to the buyer for fees related to a cancelled transaction. Sellers are encouraged to keep proof of any refunds provided to buyers in the event a dispute arises over a cancellation.

If a buyer would like to cancel an order, the buyer should contact the seller by Viewbid Auctions message system to request cancellation.

The seller may not cancel a transaction for the purpose of avoiding fees or reviews.

The seller may cancel an invalid or void transaction, as defined by these circumstances:

1. The buyer did not pay at the time the transaction was created, according to the transaction agreement or according to the terms in the seller's shop policies.
2. An authorized payment method was used, AND any of the following additional criteria are met:
3. Both the buyer and seller agreed to cancel the transaction prior to shipment. If the buyer has already paid, the seller has refunded buyer (price paid for item plus shipping).
4. The seller has refused service to the buyer. If the buyer has already paid, the seller has refunded the buyer (price paid for item plus shipping).
5. The buyer paid for the item(s). Although the seller shipped the item(s), the buyer did not receive the item(s). The seller has refunded the buyer (price paid for item at minimum).
6. The buyer paid, the seller shipped the item, and the buyer received the item. Then the buyer and seller agreed the buyer can return the item to the seller for a refund. The seller has received the returned item, and the seller has refunded the buyer (price paid for item at minimum).

Members who abuse the privilege to cancel transactions may be subject to review, which can result in suspension of account privileges and/or termination. Suspended or terminated members remain obligated to pay Viewbid Auctions for all unpaid fees.
