Buyer + seller protection
No awkward cash. No guessing if payment is real.
The winning buyer pays via PayFast after the auction ends. Funds are held in escrow and only released after the collection code is verified and BBB admin approves the payout.
1
Winner pays via PayFast
After winning, the buyer is redirected to PayFast to complete payment securely.
2
Funds held in escrow
Payment is held by BBB — the seller does not receive anything until collection is confirmed.
3
Collection code issued
Once payment clears, the buyer receives a unique BBB-XXXXXXXX code in their dashboard.
4
Seller enters the code
At pickup, the buyer shows their code and the seller enters it into their seller dashboard to confirm handover.
5
Admin reviews and releases
BBB admin is notified, manually reviews the transaction, and releases the payout minus the 9% platform fee.

Loophole cover
Rules that stop common scams before they start.
Shill bidding
Sellers are blocked from bidding on their own listings. Admin monitors repeated bidder-seller patterns and can remove suspicious accounts.
Stolen goods
Ownership declared at listing. Serial numbers and photos required for certain categories. Every listing goes through admin review before going live.
False collection claims
Funds are released only after the seller enters the buyer's unique collection code. Admin reviews every payout before it is processed.
Chargebacks
Payments processed via PayFast with 3D Secure. The collection code acts as proof of handover. All sales are final once funds are released.
Unsafe meetups
Sellers set a specific pickup location and time window on each listing. Buyers are encouraged to collect in public, well-lit areas during daylight hours.
