---

4. Payment Terms

Accepted Payment Methods

Auction Republic accepts credit card on file and e-transfer as the only forms of payment.

The credit card on file is the default and primary payment method and will be automatically charged immediately upon auction close, including a 2% credit card processing fee, unless the bidder has properly selected e-transfer at the time of registration.

E-Transfer Selection Requirement

Bidders intending to pay by e-transfer must clearly enter “E-TRANSFER PAYMENT” or similar lines to the Notes to Seller/Auctioneer field at the time of registration.

Requests to change the payment method after registration, after bidding has begun, or after auction close will not be accepted under any circumstances.

If a valid e-transfer request is not recorded at registration, the credit card on file will be charged automatically, including the 2% processing fee, without exception.

E-Transfer Conditions

E-transfer payments:

Do not incur the 2% credit card processing fee
Must be sent only to the email provided on the invoice or official communication
Must be sent immediately upon receipt of invoice

Auction Republic reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to:

Restrict any bidder to credit card only
Refuse or cancel any payment that does not clear immediately

Failed or Declined Payments

If the credit card on file is declined, the bidder will receive an automated payment notice with a secure payment link.

The bidder has 48 hours from notification to complete payment.

Failure to complete payment within 48 hours will result in:

Immediate invoice cancellation
Forfeiture of all items without refund or notice
Permanent account ban (“No Pay”)
Reporting to HiBid, which may impact participation on other platforms

If payment is completed by credit card after a failed attempt, the 2% processing fee will apply.

Release of Items

No items will be released under any circumstances until full payment has been received and cleared.

Chargebacks

All sales are final.

Chargebacks are strictly prohibited.

Any attempt to reverse or dispute a charge will result in:

Immediate account suspension
Permanent ban from Auction Republic
Potential legal action to recover losses, fees, and damages

---

5. Pickup & Inspection Policy

All items are sold "AS-IS, WHERE-IS," with no guarantees, warranties, returns, or store credit offered after pickup, regardless of the item's condition or accuracy of its listing.

Buyers are responsible for inspecting their items at the designated pickup/testing area before departure.

"Accepting the item" means:

-You have inspected (or chosen not to inspect) the item

-You remove it from the pickup/testing counter or leave the premises

At that moment, you accept full responsibility for the item as-is and waive all rights to dispute or claim.

Once an item has left the premises, NO REFUNDS, STORE CREDIT, ADJUSTMENTS, or CLAIMS OF MISDESCRIPTION, DEFECT, or INCOMPLETENESS will be accepted. No exceptions.

Pickup is by appointment only using our online booking system. Walk-ins will not be permitted. You must arrive on time. Early/late arrivals may be turned away at our discretion.

Any item not picked up during the scheduled pickup window - and without a pre-approved alternate arrangement - will be deemed abandoned and forfeited without refund.

Bidders must bring their own tools, equipment, and labor for loading. Auction Republic staff are not responsible for assisting with lifting, loading, or securing items.

Auction Republic does not provide in-house shipping. However, we have partnered with pkgPlace, an independent third-party delivery provider, to offer buyers the option of having their auction winnings delivered at a flat rate.

It is the responsibility of the bidder to sign up for delivery with pkgPlace directly and not to request "shipping" in the bidder notes section.
