Credits
| You get | You pay | You save |
New and high-quality products are added to our auction portal daily. To participate in auctions, you must register with the site. You can do this easily by clicking the ‘register’ button and following the subsequent instructions. To place a bid, you need Credits. We offer you the possibility of purchasing both single Credits and Credit packages. If you are awarded the item, you can conveniently prepay via wire transfer or pay with your credit card. Unfortunately, you cannot pay for the item with your Credits as they are exclusively used for making bids. |

Xpress

All articles are displayed with one start price that is valid at the outset of an auction. The actual price is concealed until you place a Credit. With each Credit placed, the price decreases, so the actual price is always less than the start price - often considerably!
As soon as you have registered, you can buy Credits various packages (see above).
When you place a Credit, three things happen:
1. The actual price decreases by 20 cents
2. The current price will be displayed to you
3. You now have the possibility of purchasing the product for the price shown
Don’t hesitate for too long, or someone else may snatch up the item at a more favourable price.
By the way: if you purchase an article on the Xpress auction and it is shipped to a European country which is not an EU member state (e. g. Switzerland, Norway), you will get a discount of 18% on the price it has been sold for on the auction!
Unique Bid
Play sound
All auctions are presented for a limited time only. You can bid using any number of 20 cent increments (e.g. 1 euro, 2.20 euro, 3.80 euro etc.). The user who has placed the sole lowest bid acquires the item.
An example: several people have placed bids worth 1 euro, 2 euros, 3.20 euro, 4.20 euro and 5.40 euro. The amounts 3.20 and 4.20 euro were both placed once, whereas 3.20 euro is both the lowest and sole bid, and is therefore awarded the auction item. If another user places a bid of 3.20 euro in the course of the auction, this amount is no longer unique. Now, in our example, the 4.20 bidder would be the final buyer, as their bid is now the lowest single bid placed.
It is possible to place single bids, or to cover an entire span of bids. However, in order to guarantee equal opportunity, only single bids will be accepted in the last five minutes before the end of an auction.
important notice:
If an auction does not produce a unique bid at its conclusion, then nobody is the final buyer and the auction starts again. If an auction results in a unique bid at its conclusion, the user with the lowest singular bid is determined and then informed by email. The awardee can subsequently order and pay for the auctioned item in his member area (prices include VAT/sales tax, plus forwarding charges). Goods are shipped by DUBLICOM Ltd., which is also the recipient of payments; items are sent as soon as payment has been received.
A single user may only be the final buyer in up to five “DubLi Auctions in one month. Therefore, once the member has placed five final bids (both lowest and unique), further bids will not be accepted. As soon as this user has been underbid in an auction, the placement of further bids is automatically accepted, until the maximum number of five successful bids has been attained. Once a user has been awarded an auction, s/he may only participate in a further four auctions, et cetera. The number of awarded auctions, as well as the number of remaining auctions available in which to participate, can be accessed at any time in your back office. At the beginning of a new calendar month, the maximum number of five successful auctions is available to you once again. This is indicated in your member area in the form of a stoplight. If the stoplight displays, for example, a “red light”, you can only place a bid again in the next calender month.
