How to buy at an online auction

How to assess a lot, set your maximum, bid with the automatic bidder and check payment and collection terms before you bid.

Izsoli.lv teamWarehouse in Riga · we check every lot

Start with the specific lot

At an online auction, choose an item by its description, not just its starting price. On the lot page, look for the exact model, condition, what is included and how you can receive it. The photos should show the actual item for sale. A manufacturer's stock image alone will not tell you how worn it really is.

Before you register, read the bidding rules: a bid is binding, and the winner has to pay for the lot. If key details about the item are missing, ask before you bid. Assuming the charger is included or the screen is undamaged is not the same as a fact confirmed in the description.

Set your limit

On Izsoli.lv the auction price is final: the buyer's premium and VAT are already included. The only extra is delivery, if you choose it. Separately, allow for any repairs and missing accessories. Set your maximum based on that total, not on the urge to outbid someone else.

Check the closing date and time. A bid in the final seconds extends the auction, so the timer on screen can change. If you don't want to watch the finish, use the automatic bidder: enter your maximum and the system bids for you without going over it.

Check the result and collection

We'll tell you by email and in the app if you win, and the result also shows in your account. A lot won at auction must be paid for within 48 hours. Keep the lot description and transaction documents. When you receive the item, compare the model, contents and condition with the description. The starting price on its own does not decide what you will pay in the end.
