2. Win & Pay Winning bidders have 4 hours to settle the final price.
- Payment Methods:
- Bitcoin (On-chain & Lightning)
- Fiat (Credit/Debit via PayPal) for amounts up to 0.1 BTC (subject to a 3.69% fee)
- Bank Wire Transfers are available for payments exceeding 0.1 BTC (identity verification required)
- Note: If the winner fails to pay, they forfeit their deposit, and the next highest bidder is offered the item.

HOT ZONE RULES
- Anti-Sniping: Bids placed in the final 5 minutes reset the countdown to 5 minutes.
- No Pending End: The auction will not close while a bid is awaiting payment. Bidders have 2 minutes to pay the collateral invoice to confirm their bid.
- Zero Buyer Fees: No platform fees are added to your winning bid. Final invoices include applicable sales tax, but international import duties remain the buyer’s responsibility."
