The Seller's Terms and Conditions section on your listing page is where you can add any additional terms, requirements, or policies specific to your selling agency. This section is visible to bidders on your auction and helps set clear expectations for the sale, payment, and pickup process.
This is your opportunity to outline important details that go beyond the standard Municibid terms and conditions.
Why is it important?
Having clear and thorough terms and conditions can:
- Reduce misunderstandings with bidders
- Ensure bidders are aware of any unique requirements
- Protect your selling agency by making your policies clear and visible
Bidders must review this section before placing a bid, so including specific instructions can help make the entire transaction run smoothly.
What should I include?
Here are some examples of what you might want to include in your Seller's Terms and Conditions section:
1. Pickup Requirements
- Pickup dates and hours of operation
- Appointment requirements
- Location details (if different from the listing address)
- Documents required at pickup (e.g., ID, proof of payment, release forms)
- Item removal deadlines
2. Special Conditions
- If equipment must be removed by a professional
- If buyers need specific permits or insurance for removal
- Any "as-is" condition statements beyond the default Municibid terms
3. Agency-Specific Policies
- Refund or return policy (if any)
- Storage fees (if any)
- Additional disclaimers about item condition or warranties
- Policies for forfeiture if the bidder fails to pay or pick up
Tips for writing your terms and conditions
- Be clear and concise: Avoid overly technical language
- Be specific: Include exact deadlines and instructions
- Avoid conflicting information: Ensure your terms do not contradict Municibid's general terms and conditions
- Keep it professional: This section is visible to all bidders
