Seller FAQ
Payment will typically be processed within 1-3 days of auction completion. The winning bidder will receive a payment link as soon as the auction closes, and has a maximum of 3 days to complete the payment. If winning bidders do not pay within 3 days, you will have the option to offer the item to the runner up of the auction.
If you choose to set a reserve price (which we call a “minimum”) the auction must close with a bid above the reserve price, otherwise there will be no winning bidder and your item will not sell. The auction will indicate when a bid has been placed above the reserve, meaning the auction will close with a winning bidder.
Basta generates a unique auction link for each seller, it’s up to you to post this link wherever your followers are, and drive traffic to your auction link. We strongly recommend posting the link in all social media bios, along with creating stories and other auction related content during the duration of the auction. Other potential link placements include your Discord, Twitter, Email Blastas, and SMS to your community. The auction will also be shown on our website under the “current auctions” page.
We request that you ship your item as soon as the winning bidder has paid. Please send your item at latest within 5-7 business days for physical products. For experience based auctions, we will connect you with the winning bidder to facilitate experience redemption.
