Does watch.bid charge any fees?
No. Listing, bidding and messaging are free. We never handle payment; the winner and seller arrange it directly.
Who can bid or sell?
Anyone can browse. To bid, sell or send messages you sign in with a verified Google account and wait for an admin to approve your account.
How do I know a watch is genuine?
Every listing is reviewed by a person and sellers send a timestamp photo with their name and the date. Still, ask for more photos, check serial numbers and pay with a method that protects you. See Buying safely.
What happens when I win?
You and the seller see each other’s contact details and a message thread opens. Agree on payment, shipping and insurance before anything is sent.
Is a bid binding?
Yes. A bid is a promise to buy at that price if you win and the reserve is met. Bids cannot be withdrawn.
