How It Will Work
Bidding, the documented way.
- Register once. Bidders verify an email and payment method before their first bid.
- Bid openly. Current high bid and full bid history are visible on every lot.
- Win and pay. Winners check out through Stripe when the lot closes. Losing bidders are never charged.
- Everything documented. Each lot keeps a complete, timestamped record from listing to sale.
