How It Works

Buying and selling at a Deals4Africa online auction is simple. Here's the whole process, start to finish.

For buyers

1

Register & get verified

Create a free account and complete a quick verification. This keeps the auction fair and protects every bidder.
2

Browse the catalogue

View the lots in each live or upcoming auction, with photos, descriptions and condition notes. Add favourites to your Watchlist.
3

Place your bids

Bid manually, or set a maximum and let auto-bid raise your bid in the set increments up to your limit.
4

Bid right to the end

Lots close a few minutes apart, and if a bid comes in during a lot's final minutes the closing time extends by a few minutes. Last-second snipers can't steal a lot from you.
5

Win & pay

If you're the highest bidder when a lot closes, you win. Your invoice appears under Won Lots — settle it by the payment cut-off shown on the invoice.
6

Collect

Once your invoice is paid, you can collect your goods during business hours without prior arrangement, or contact reception for your parcel to be made ready.
