Terms of Service

Last updated October 17, 2026

By using ChatnBid, on our website, through our WhatsApp number or through our Telegram bot, you agree to these terms. You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract to use ChatnBid.

ChatnBid is a venue

ChatnBid provides a bidding page, a timer and a bid ledger. Sellers run their own sales. We are not the seller, auctioneer, agent or escrow, we do not take possession of items, and we do not process payments. Buyers and sellers settle directly with each other. Sellers are responsible for accurate descriptions and for complying with laws that apply to their sales.

Bidding rules

• Bidding requires a verified mobile number. Your display name is shown with your bids.
• A bid is a commitment to buy at that price if you win. Bids can't be retracted.
• The first bid must equal the start price; later bids must meet the minimum increment shown.
• Anti-sniping: a bid placed in the final minutes extends the end time, as shown on the lot page.
• Only bids recorded in ChatnBid's bid ledger count: bids placed on the lot page, with ChatnBid's official Telegram buttons, or with ChatnBid's official WhatsApp bid buttons. Bids typed into group chats or comments do not.
• If a reserve price is set and not met, the lot closes without a sale.

What may be sold

• Items must be authentic. No counterfeits, replicas, "homages" or fakes, and no items with non-original parts (dials, bezels, movements, stones) unless clearly disclosed in the listing.
• No stolen goods, and nothing that is illegal to sell or ship where the seller or buyer is located. No weapons, drugs, documents, currency, gift cards, tickets or securities.
• Coins and bullion are sold as physical goods, not as investments.
• By listing a lot, the seller promises they own it or are authorized to sell it, that it is genuine, and that the description and photos are accurate.
• We may remove any lot and suspend any seller at our discretion, including when an item is reported as not genuine.

Messages

Text messages: ChatnBid sends one-time login codes; outbid alerts if you opt in; and texts to the buyer and seller of a completed sale about that sale (the result, checkout, payment, shipping and escrow updates). Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop alerts, HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

WhatsApp and Telegram: we reply in chats you start with us. We send WhatsApp alerts you didn't ask for in that conversation only if you opt in; reply STOP on WhatsApp to turn them off. ChatnBid is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta, WhatsApp or Telegram, and your use of those apps is subject to their own terms. See our Privacy Policy for how phone numbers are handled.

Conduct

No shill bidding, bidding on your own lots, fake accounts, or bids you don't intend to honor. Don't spam chat groups with ChatnBid links or automate posting; share lots only in groups where that is welcome. We may cancel lots and suspend accounts that break these rules.

Disclaimer

The service is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, ChatnBid is not liable for disputes between buyers and sellers, item condition or authenticity, or missed bids caused by connectivity or timing.
