FAQ's

Who do I contact with auction questions?

Please contact the affiliate managing that specific auction. Each auction on K-BID.com is managed by a member of our independent affiliate network. Each auction has a different location, terms and contact information. This information can be found within each auction and item page and should be verified prior to bidding.

Why has my account been disabled?

K-BID reserves the right to remove bidding privileges for any user violating K-BID site terms or auction specific terms.


If your bidding has been disabled, it is most often due to an unpaid invoice. If you discover your bidding privileges have been suspended, please:

  • Check the Your Invoices section of your dashboard.
  • If an invoice has been marked as No-Show, contact the affiliate to make arrangements to pay the invoice and take possession of the assets.
  • If the items are no longer available, it may be possible to have your bidding privileges reinstated after paying a reinstatement fee. Please inquire about this possibility by filling out the form below.

K-BID's policy on bidder reinstatement due to unpaid invoices:

In the event that bidding rights are terminated due to no-show invoices, bidders MAY be reinstated at the discretion of K-BID only after a penalty fee of $25.00 plus 20% of the unpaid invoice(s) has been paid to K-BID and a scanned copy of your driver's license emailed to us. INVOICED ITEMS WILL NOT BE AWARDED. The payment is punitive and meant to deter no-shows.

Prompt payment during the scheduled removal days and complying with auction terms and conditions is required to remain an active user on K-BID.com. If you believe that your bidding has been disabled in error, please contact us using the form below.

Can I remove or retract a bid?

We do not remove bids.

Winning bidder invoices will be updated to your dashboard within 10 minutes of the auction closing. Here you can view and download your winning bidder invoice. It is recommended that you print your invoice off as it will include pertinent location and contact information.

IMPORTANT: Winning bidder notifications are emailed after each auction. However, some email services can be unreliable and put these message into a Junk or Spam folder. Always check your Dashboard for a winning bidder invoice if you have been actively bidding on an auction.




At this time, you should be well aware of the auction location and the designated time to remove your items (found on the invoice as well as the bottom of every page within the auction on K-BID.com). You can now go pick up your items! Pay close attention to the following items:

Location: Look for directional signs around the auction location and double check the auction location prior to leaving. Call the managing affiliate if you have issues finding the location.

Can I have an item shipped?

Many independent affiliates offer shipping options to winning bidders. Be sure to verify shipping availability prior to bidding by navigating to the shipping tab on the bottom of the auction page. Due to the nature of some auctions, shipping can be difficult and will have an additional cost. It is common to be charged a handling/packaging fee in addition to the actual shipping charges. If you have questions or need clarification on options and pricing, please contact the managing affiliate by calling the phone number listed in the auction.
