3. Payment Terms

Payment is due immediately upon auction close, with a grace period until the following day to complete payment.
Accepted methods: cash, cheque, e-transfer, or credit card (subject to a 3% convenience fee).

All payments must be made to McBids Auctioneers & Appraisers Inc.

If payment is not received within the stated timeframe:

  • The item(s) will be resold at the next available auction.

  • The buyer will be blocked from future bidding until all outstanding balances are cleared.

  • The buyer will be responsible for any shortfalls, resale fees, commissions, or storage costs related to the default.

  • McBids reserves the right to report delinquent accounts to credit agencies or pursue collection through Small Claims Court.

4. Pickup, Removal, and Abandonment

Each auction lists its own pickup dates, times, and locations. Offsite lots will include specific pickup instructions on the lot page.

All items must be picked up within the posted timeframe.
Any purchases left onsite after that period will be considered abandoned property, and no refunds will be issued.
McBids reserves the right to resell, dispose of, or retain ownership of any abandoned items.
All associated costs, disposal fees, or expenses will be charged to the purchaser.

McBids does not arrange shipping.
If you require shipping, please contact a third-party carrier to collect, package, and deliver your items at your own expense. McBids assumes no responsibility for any shipping arrangements, costs, or delays.

5. Condition of Items

All items are sold “as is, where is,” with no warranties, guarantees, or returns.

Buyers are strongly encouraged to inspect items in person prior to bidding.

  • Withdraw or group lots at its discretion.

Proxy and absentee bidding are available when supported by the platform.

7. Technical Issues

McBids is not responsible for technical malfunctions, internet delays, or software errors during bidding.
If a system issue arises, McBids reserves the right to pause, extend, or reopen an auction as needed to ensure fairness.

8. Privacy and Communication
