Before the first bid on a lot, the buyer chooses a method: by card (amount held via Stripe) or without a card — a 10% deposit on the bid amount by bank transfer with a QR invoice. The right to bid on the lot opens after the transfer is confirmed and applies up to a multiple of the deposit. If the lot is not won, the deposit is refunded to the buyer’s account (minus the bank fee, if any). If the lot is won, the remaining balance is due — the lot price minus the credited deposit. If the winner does not pay the balance by the deadline, the deposit is retained as a non-collection penalty and the account is blocked from further bidding.
