How does bidding work?
You simply type in the “Your offer” field the amount you would like to bid. If it’s higher than other bids, you become the highest bidder. Bidding advances immediately to your entered amount. The bid you place in the bid box will become the new high bid.

Why is there a deposit to pay?
WONDIKE.com requires the payment of a deposit to guarantee the truthfulness and seriousness of the offers presented and to prevent a user with fraudulent intentions from altering the course. The deposit will be returned to non-winners of the auction within 5 working days from the end of the auction experiment. The deposit will be returned to the winner in case the reserve price is not met or in case of full payment of the price in the event of a reserve price met.
What credit cards do you accept?
The payment of the deposit through credit card are processed by Paypal. The Credit Card they accept are American Express, Carta Aura, Discover, Maestro, Mastercard, and Visa.
May I bid if I'm not in EU?
Sure! As long as you have registered with a valid credit card, you can bid from anywhere.
Why does the clock keep resetting?
It’s common in online auctions for buyers to use special software to enter a bid in the very last seconds of the auction to outbid others without giving them a chance to respond. During the last 3 minutes of WONDIKE.com Auctions, the clock resets to 3 minutes after every bid. This happens until no more bids are placed and the auction ends. This feature gives everyone a chance to place their bids and gives sellers a chance to sell to the true high bidder.
May I cancel my bid?
We do not cancel bids on the website. Please be very careful when placing your bid.
How do I know if an auction has a reserve?
We announce when a good is being offered at No Reserve by putting that information in the “Particular Sale Terms” document.
May I buy a lot when the reserve price is not met?
For goods that do not meet reserve, the seller receives the high bidder’s contact info upon close of auction as they have won the opportunity to purchase the lot. From there, it is up the two of them to work out a deal. In cases where reserve is not met, we do not share other user contact info or broker deals after the close of auction.
Where can I find the Buy it Now Price?
All offerings through WONDIKE.com are for auction only. There are no Buy it Now prices and sellers cannot sell goods outside of a live auction. If you wish to purchase a lot make sure you’re the high bidder!
How can I inspect a Lot?
We encourage all potential bidders to inspect a good prior to placing a bid. If you would like to inspect a good or have it inspected, you may schedule the inspection with the Auction Manager by writing him/her an e-mail that you will find in the page of the auction.
"What happens if I am the successful bidder but have not reached the reserve price?"
If you receive an e-mail at the end of the auction stating that you were the successful bidder but did not reach the reserve price, it means that you were the user who made the highest bid but did not reach the price requested by the seller and therefore you are not the winner of the Lot. We will notify the seller of the highest bid received and he will decide, at his sole discretion, whether to accept the bid.
Why is the reserve price kept hidden?
Wondike keeps the reserve price hidden until it is reached in the Auction to freely receive feedback from the market without conditioning it.
May only companies or individuals sell on Wondike?
Both individuals and companies can sell
