How UniqBid works
The lowest unique bid secures the item. Unique means no one else placed exactly that amount. Here's the whole idea in one page.
Browse
See product value, the bid range, and the small participation fee for each sale.
Enter a bid amount
Choose any amount inside the range. You can place multiple bids at different amounts.
Pay participation fee
Pay the participation fee now to confirm that bid. It is separate from your bid amount.
Successful buy
At close, the lowest unique bid secures the item. That buyer then pays their bid amount on collection or delivery.
A worked example
Five people bid on the same item. Who secures the buy?
Each bidder also paid a separate participation fee when placing their bid. Bidder C then pays KES 22 on collection or delivery, not the product’s retail value. A and B tied at KES 15, so those bids were not unique.
What you pay
Participation fee: paid now for each bid you place.
Bid amount: the number you enter in the range; paid later only if it is the successful bid.
Product value: shown for comparison only; never charged as a bid payment.
Transparency
Live bid counts and sale activity appear on auction pages. Past sales are published publicly. This is a products-selling platform, not gambling.
