Q. Why do I get a warning message that my selected username is invalid?
A.
Every user must select a username for their account. The username can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. We recommend replacing all [spaces] with either an underscore or hyphen.
Incorrect: MY Username
Correct: MY-Username
Correct: MY_Username
Or, it says the username selected is already in use.
Usernames are unique. Two users cannot share the same username. If you get a notice during registration that your username is already in use, you will need to select a different username.
 
Q. Why does it say my email address is already in use?
A.
If you get a notice that your email address is already in use when creating an account, this means you have already created an account with us at some point. If you do not remember your login information, please enter your email address into the forgotten password form and you will be able to reset your password and log in to your account.
 
Q. What if an item is missing from my wins?
A.
Our team is trying its best to minimise this occurrence and we apologise for the inconvenience. A BidStreet Team Member will be happy to assist you the next time you are in the store to locate your missing item. Please bring all pertinent information i.e. listing ID and SKU. Unfortunately, on rare occasions, items go missing. If your missing item cannot be located, BidStreet will remove the cost of the product from your receipt, and/or process a return payment if payment was made prior to pick up.
 
Q. What if an item is defective/not as listed?
A.
If there is an issue with the product and the issue was not stated in the listing, you have seven (7) days from pick up in which to inform BidStreet of the issue via email; items picked up after 11 days from the auction date are disqualified from the Return Policy. A Return Authorisation form will be sent to you and must be filled out and forwarded to BidStreet. A Team Member will assess the claim and deal with it accordingly. Please be advised, products listed as being “AS-IS” are to be treated as Final Sale. Return of items under $10 will not be accepted in any manner once it has left the premises. There will be no exceptions.
 
Q. What if I need my items shipped or delivered?
A.
BidStreet does not offer shipping. We are recommending the delivery services of
pkgPlace for all shipping requests. The process is quick, easy and more efficient for all involved, and has been used with much success by other auction houses. It is the responsibility of the bidder to sign up for delivery with pkgPlace directly. We don't release the items for delivery until the items have been paid for in full. We are not responsible for any items after it is released from the warehouse to pkgPlace. Payment is made directly to pkgPlace.

 
Q. What if I won an item and don't want it any more?
A.
Your bid is a contract between you and the listing creator. If you had the highest bid and won the item, you entered into a legally binding purchase contract. Some exceptions may apply. For complete details, please review our Return Policy.
 
Q. What if I placed the wrong bid on a listing?
A.
BidStreet cannot remove a bid during the auction once placed. Should you win the item, please come into the store and a Team Member will deal with it accordingly.
