Marketplace rules & responsible use

BidX works best when everyone is honest, careful and respectful. This guide explains what we expect from buyers and sellers — and how to protect yourself.

19Responsible Marketplace use

The principles behind every BidX transaction

BidX connects buyers and sellers who agree transactions directly with each other. Because BidX does not receive or hold the payment for an item, both sides share responsibility for a fair, safe transaction.

Provide accurate product information

Sellers should describe each item honestly — its real condition, features, what is included and any faults. Images should show the actual item. Listings are reviewed by BidX Admin, but the seller is responsible for the accuracy of what they publish.

Use accurate prices

Enter the price you actually intend to accept and choose the right price type: Fixed, Negotiable or Auction / Bid. Avoid misleading prices designed only to attract attention.

Communicate clearly

Answer questions honestly, respond within a reasonable time and keep a written record of what was agreed where possible — BidX Messages and WhatsApp both keep a history of the conversation.

Verify transaction details

Before any money changes hands, confirm the item, its condition, the final price, the payment method and the delivery or collection arrangement. Check the seller’s contact information and location, and be cautious of requests that do not match the listing.

Follow applicable laws

Only list and buy items you are legally permitted to sell or buy, and comply with the laws that apply to you and your transaction. Read the Marketplace Terms and Conditions (Menu → Help & Information).

Treat buyers and sellers respectfully

Be courteous in every message and call. Respect people’s time, honour what you agree, and let the other party know promptly if your plans change.

Meeting safely

Use caution when meeting unknown parties

Meet in public

Choose a busy, public, well-lit place during the day.

Tell someone

Let a friend or family member know where you are going, or bring someone with you.

Inspect first

Check the item carefully and confirm it matches the listing before paying.

Trust your instincts

If a deal feels rushed, unusual or too good to be true, step back.

Account security

Protect your account credentials

  • Do not share your password — not with buyers, sellers or anyone claiming to be from BidX.
  • Keep verification codes private — a code sent to your phone or email is for you only.
  • Use a strong password of at least 8 characters that you do not use elsewhere.
  • Log out on shared devices from Menu → Settings → Logout.
  • Forgot your password? Use “Forgot password?” on the Sign In screen to receive a reset link by email.
Reporting

Report suspicious activity

If a listing, message or user seems suspicious, stop the conversation and tell BidX. In the Marketplace you can use Help & Support / Contact Us or the Safety Tips page from the menu, or reach customer service directly.
