In doing so, he must provide his data (name, address, etc.) and indicate whether he wants to use the marketplace as a dealer, authorized dealer or trader. He must also choose a user name and password. The admission application is accepted by an admission confirmation e-mail or by fax. At the same time, we will create the user account. Upon admission, according to the terms of use a service contract with a fee is made for an indefinite period of time between BIDaCLASSIC and the respective user. The simple registration of a user account is free of charge. The listing and sale of vehicles by advertising is free of charge for the supplier. The listing of a vehicle by auction is also free of charge for the supplier. Fees are only charged for successful sales via auctions. The fees to be paid by the seller are based on the current price conditions, which can be viewed in the user account and here under point (5). The use of the marketplace is free of charge for the bidder until he has won an auction. In the event of a successful auction, in which the sale takes place with the legally binding consent of the seller, the bidder must pay a premium. The fee to be paid for this is based on the current price conditions, which can be viewed in the user account and here under point (5). 

(3) The user is obliged to keep login and password confidential and to protect them from unauthorised access by third parties. In case of any suspicion of unauthorized use by a third party, the User shall inform BIDaCLASSIC immediately. As soon as BIDaCLASSIC becomes aware of any unauthorized use, BIDaCLASSIC will block the access of the unauthorized User.

Fees for the seller:

The sale by a normal advertisement on BIDaCLASSIC is free of charge.

However, there is the possibility of special options when placing an advertisement which are subject to a fee as follows

If in the end the auction was unsuccessful for you because the bids were too low and you refuse to sell, you will not be charged any fees. If after the auction you have invited to a renegotiation with your buy-now price and no prospective buyer has accepted the buy-now price, you will not incur any fees. We want to be successful for you and therefore do not charge you any fees if the sale is unsuccessful. That is our fair trade idea.

The successful sale by auction via BIDaCLASSIC is subject to a sales fee of 2.5% of the auction price. However, the fee is covered at a flat rate from the start of the portal until 31.06.2022 and is only due if an auction was successful. The following sales fees are currently applicable:

§ 4 Conclusion of contracts on the marketplace, exclusion of warranty 

(1) On the marketplace, the user can offer vehicles in an auction (referred to below as „seller“) and/or make binding bids on vehicles placed (referred to below as „buyer“). The placement of a vehicle by the seller does not constitute a binding offer. Bids submitted by the Buyer during the auction are binding offers to the Seller. A bid expires if another buyer makes a higher bid during the auction period. After the end of the auction period, the seller can decide whether to sell the vehicle to the highest bidder. The buyer is bound to his bid for 7 days after the auction ends. 

Within these 7 days, the seller must make a binding declaration whether he accepts the offer of the highest bidder or not. In this case a sales contract is concluded exclusively between the seller and the buyer. 

(2) If the highest bid is not sufficient for the seller after an auction, he can make a binding offer to the buyer, stating a buy-it-now price. If a buyer accepts this offer, a purchase contract between the seller and the buyer at this price is concluded. 

In advertisements is it also possible to make a binding offer to the buyer, stating a buy-it-now price. With the function „KICKDOWN-advertisement“ is the binding offer to the buyer, stating a buy-it-now price, in a daily change proces. If a buyer accepts this offer, a purchase contract between the seller and the buyer at this price is concluded. 

(3) The sale via the BIDaCLASSIC marketplace is carried out, if not explicitly stated otherwise by the seller, under disclaimer of warranty for quality defects, if the buyer is an entrepreneur in terms of Section 14 BGB.

(4) If the vehicle is not collected and paid for by the buyer after conclusion of the purchase contract, the seller can demand a flat-rate compensation of 20% of the purchase price, unless the buyer can prove that no serious damage has been caused. The same applies to the seller if he does not keep the vehicle ready for the buyer at least 7 days after conclusion of the purchase contract.
