Congratulations! When an auction closes and you're the high bidder, NexudeIT's settlement process automatically declares you the winner and sets up your order — no need to chase the seller or refresh the page. Here's exactly what comes next and what's expected of you.

A bid on NexudeIT is a binding, irrevocable offer to buy at that price. Winning forms a real contract of sale. That includes the automatic bids your proxy bidder placed for you — every auto-bid up to the maximum you set is as binding as one you typed yourself. (On a Vickrey auction you win at the second-highest bid, not your own, but the commitment is the same.) Bidding only on items you intend to buy keeps the marketplace trustworthy for everyone.

Some auctions — especially high-value items, swaps, and escrow-protected sales — ask both sides to sign a binding Digital Agreement before money or goods move. It records the item, condition, price or trade terms, shipping responsibilities, and an anti-fraud clause. It's a timestamped, non-editable record you can rely on if anything goes wrong. Sign promptly so your order can move forward.

Complete payment through the Platform within the window stated on the listing (or within 48 hours if none is stated). With escrow, your payment is authorised and held safely — it isn't released to the seller until you've received your item and confirmed it's as described. That protects you between paying and receiving.

The seller ships and adds a tracking number; you follow it on your order page. For a swap, both sides ship and confirm receipt (dual-ship confirmation) before any escrowed bond or cash boot releases. Inspect what arrives against the listing and the signed agreement.

Happy with your item? Confirm receipt and the escrow releases to the seller — the deal is done. If something's wrong (item not as described, damaged, or missing), don't confirm: open a dispute instead. Your funds stay held while the escrow and Community-Jury dispute process works it out, with NexudeIT admins making the final call.

Because a winning bid is binding, walking away from an auction you won is a breach. It can mean forfeiting any deposit or security bond, escrow penalties set on the listing, account strikes (which escalate to suspension or a ban), and losing your bidding privileges. Sellers may also relist and recover the difference where a second-chance remedy applies. If you bid by mistake, contact the seller and our support right away rather than going silent.
