How BidBikes Works

Safe, transparent, and easy

For Sellers

1. List Your Bike

  • • Create an account and start your listing in minutes
  • • We guide you step-by-step to ensure great photos and detailed, honest descriptions
  • • Choose your auction type: Reserve (minimum price) or No Reserve (optional for select listings)

2. Engage with Buyers

  • • Answer questions in the public Q&A section
  • • Build trust by sharing details and responding promptly
  • • Watch as bids come in—no need to manage direct messages or haggle

3. Auction Ends

  • • If the reserve is met (for reserve auctions), the highest bidder wins
  • • You'll be introduced to the buyer, and payment is handled securely via PayPal Goods & Services
  • • In the future, integrated payment and shipping will make transactions even smoother

4. Complete the Sale

  • • Arrange shipping or local pickup with the buyer
  • • Once payment is confirmed, your transaction is complete
  • • Get ready for your next ride—or next sale!

For Buyers

1. Find Your Dream Bike

  • • Browse curated listings of premium bikes—clear photos, honest descriptions, no distractions
  • • Use the Q&A section to ask sellers anything you want to know about a listing

2. Place Your Bid

  • • Add a credit card to participate
  • • Bid with confidence, knowing the auction is transparent (no-reserve status is always shown)

3. Win and Pay Securely

  • • If you're the highest bidder when the auction ends (and reserve, if set, is met), you win!
  • • Pay securely through PayPal Goods & Services

4. Receive Your Bike

  • • Arrange pickup or shipping with the seller
  • • Enjoy your new bike—backed by a marketplace that values trust and transparency
