Bidding process

When in the course of bidding for the lot you have placed, one of the participants of these trades bets or adds a comment, then a notification is sent to your email address about these events.

We suggest you to check for email notifications in the “Spam” tab. The website is not responsible for the settings of the user's mail services and does not guarantee receipt of notices to third-party services (e-mails, phone numbers, etc.).

Notifications of changes are displayed in the personal VIOLITY cabinet of the seller, in the section "Sell" - "Active".

Opposite the actively traded lot, the seller can see the login of the buyer, who placed the highest bid.

If potential buyers ask questions about the properties or characteristics of the lot in the comments to your lot or require additional photos, then you as the seller are obliged to give honest and reasonable answers to these questions, as well as to provide additional requested images.

After successful bidding, the lot is moved to the "Sell" - "Sold" section. The seller of the lot must send a notification to the winner with the requisites for payment / delivery of the goods. To do this, in the personal cabinet, opposite the sold lot, you need to click on the icon with the image of the envelope and in the column "Messages" to provide all the information necessary for completing the transaction.

The seller at the VIOLITY can additionally use convenient functions, namely:

• Lot advertisement.
• Excluding the buyer from bidding process using login name.
• Excluding the buyer from bidding process using business rating.

Payment / delivery of the lot

The seller establishes the terms of payment / delivery of the lot when it is created, subject to the Rules of VIOLITY auction.

This information is available to all users. Terms of payment / delivery can be changed only during bidding with the mutual consent of the buyer and seller.

It is strongly recommended that you read the rules of payment for the lots, since the method of payment directly depends on the business rating of the counterparty (both the seller and the buyer).
