Effective Date: May 20, 2026

​

This Bidding Policy (“Policy”) is incorporated by reference into the Ya’Mar Terms of Service and governs all auction and bidding activity conducted through the Ya’Mar marketplace application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).

By using bidding features, users agree to comply with this Policy, the Terms of Service, the Ya’Mar Shield Policy, the Returns & Refund Policy, the Seller Standards Policy, the Prohibited Items Policy, the Community Guidelines, and all other incorporated Platform Policies.

Ya’Mar LLC (“Ya’Mar,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) may update this Policy periodically. Continued use of bidding features after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy where permitted by law.

​

1. Scope of Bidding Features

Ya’Mar offers auction-style bidding formats that may include Regular Bids, Rapid Bids, scheduled auctions, timed bidding events, and additional bidding formats introduced in the future.

Each bidding format may contain unique rules relating to auction duration, scheduling, bid increments, visibility controls, extension settings, payment requirements, seller controls, timing systems, or other auction mechanics.

All bidding activity must occur entirely within the Platform and remains subject to this Policy and all incorporated Platform Policies.

Ya’Mar reserves the right to modify bidding systems, visibility controls, auction mechanics, timing systems, scheduling limitations, extension settings, bid increment structures, eligibility requirements, or bidding functionality at any time where reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, operational needs, legal compliance, Platform integrity, security concerns, or marketplace protection.

​

2. Eligibility to Participate in Bidding

Only users eighteen (18) years of age or older may independently create auctions, place bids, participate in bidding activity, complete auction purchases, receive payouts, or use transactional bidding features.

Users under eighteen (18) years old may only use limited non-transactional Platform features under the supervision and legal responsibility of a parent or legal guardian as permitted under the Terms of Service.

By participating in bidding activity, users represent and warrant that they are legally capable of entering binding agreements, possess authority to place bids, intend to complete transactions if successful, possess valid payment methods, and will comply with Platform Policies and applicable law.

​

3. Binding Nature of Bids

All bids placed on Ya’Mar are final, binding, and non-retractable once submitted.

Bids may not be modified, withdrawn, canceled, reversed, or disputed due to user error, accidental bidding, misunderstanding, pricing confusion, failure to review listing details, misunderstanding of auction rules, internet delays, device issues, or change of mind.

Users are solely responsible for reviewing listing descriptions, photos, bid increments, seller disclosures, shipping terms, handling times, fees, auction duration, and all listing details before placing bids.

When a bidding event concludes successfully, a legally binding agreement is formed directly between the buyer and seller.

​

4. Regular Bids

Regular Bids are standard auction-style listings that may remain active for up to ten (10) days total and must have a minimum duration of one (1) day unless otherwise permitted by Ya’Mar.

Auctions conclude automatically when the timer expires unless otherwise canceled, removed, extended, restricted, suspended, or modified by Ya’Mar under applicable Policies.

If a seller attempts to create or schedule a Regular Bid outside permitted timing requirements, the Platform may display notices regarding scheduling limitations, reduced visibility, operational restrictions, or auction limitations. Sellers must acknowledge applicable notices before proceeding.

​

5. Rapid Bids

Rapid Bids are fast-paced auction events intended for accelerated bidding activity.

Rapid Bids may be scheduled up to seven (7) days in advance, must have a minimum duration of one (1) minute, and may not exceed thirty (30) minutes unless otherwise permitted by Ya’Mar.

Rapid Bids may include optional automatic extension functionality. When enabled, qualifying bids placed shortly before expiration may automatically extend remaining auction time. Available extension periods may include ten (10) seconds, thirty (30) seconds, one (1) minute, or other timing intervals supported by the Platform.

Auctions may continue extending until no additional qualifying bids are received before expiration or until the auction otherwise concludes under Platform rules.

Ya’Mar reserves the right to modify extension functionality, timing systems, scheduling rules, or auction mechanics at any time.

​

6. Bid Increments and Auction Controls

Rapid Bids require seller-selected minimum bid increments. The minimum allowable bid increment is generally one dollar ($1 USD) or local equivalent where applicable, although sellers may select higher increments where permitted.

Each new qualifying bid must meet or exceed the required increment to become valid.

Ya’Mar reserves the right to limit bidding activity, restrict increments, prevent abusive bidding behavior, remove invalid bids, restrict participation, or adjust bidding mechanics where reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, operational protection, marketplace integrity, legal compliance, or security purposes.

​

7. Payment Obligations for Winning Bidders

Winning bidders are legally obligated to complete payment for successfully won auctions.

Failure to complete payment, repeated unpaid auction activity, payment reversals, invalid payment methods, chargeback abuse, or refusal to honor auction obligations may result in canceled transactions, restricted bidding privileges, withheld balances, delayed payouts, reserve requirements, permanent suspension, collections activity, arbitration, or legal enforcement where permitted by law.

Ya’Mar reserves the right to require valid payment methods before bidding, preauthorize payment methods, require additional verification, restrict bidding access for high-risk users, or limit auction participation where reasonably necessary for fraud prevention or marketplace integrity.

If a winning bidder fails to complete payment or if an account balance becomes negative due to refunds, failed payments, chargebacks, penalties, customs fees, taxes, dispute reversals, or other auction-related obligations, the user authorizes Ya’Mar LLC and its payment processors to charge any payment method, debit card, credit card, bank account, or funding source linked to the account where permitted by law.

Outstanding balances may be deducted from future payouts, referred to collections agencies, pursued through arbitration, or pursued through legal enforcement where permitted by law.

Winning bidders also remain solely responsible for applicable sales taxes, VAT, GST, customs duties, brokerage fees, carrier surcharges, import taxes, governmental charges, and international shipping-related fees associated with auction purchases.

Failure to pay required international charges may result in shipment refusal, canceled deliveries, denied refunds, account restrictions, collections activity, or enforcement actions where permitted by law.

​

8. Seller Responsibilities and Auction Integrity

Sellers are solely responsible for providing accurate listings, honoring successful auction outcomes, shipping items within stated handling times, maintaining truthful descriptions, uploading valid tracking information, cooperating during disputes, and maintaining honest bidding activity.

Sellers may not improperly cancel auctions, refuse legitimate winning bids, manipulate pricing, interfere with bidding activity, upload misleading listings, misrepresent inventory, engage in deceptive conduct, use unauthorized fulfillment methods, or otherwise undermine auction integrity.

Sellers who fail to complete auction transactions, repeatedly cancel auctions, refuse valid winning bids, misrepresent inventory, repeatedly ship late, or otherwise negatively impact customer experience may be subject to listing removal, reduced visibility, delayed payouts, reserve requirements, refund liability, loss of seller protections, account restrictions, collections activity, arbitration, legal enforcement, or permanent suspension where permitted by law.

​

9. Fair Bidding Conduct

Users must participate honestly, fairly, and in good faith.

Prohibited conduct includes shill bidding, bid manipulation, artificial price inflation, collusion, fake accounts, coordinated bidding abuse, fraudulent bidding, interference with bidding mechanics, unauthorized automation, bot usage, scraping activity, circumvention of bidding systems, deceptive account behavior, or attempts to manipulate Platform operations.

Ya’Mar reserves the right to investigate suspicious bidding activity and may remove bids, cancel auctions, freeze transactions, hold or reverse funds, restrict accounts, withhold payouts, deny Ya’Mar Shield eligibility, refer matters to payment processors, regulators, arbitrators, law enforcement agencies, customs authorities, or collections agencies, and pursue legal enforcement where permitted by law.

​

10. Marketplace Quality Control and Auction Enforcement

Ya’Mar reserves the right to remove, suppress, restrict, disable, limit visibility of, demonetize, or permanently prohibit auctions, bidding activity, listings, sellers, inventory, fulfillment methods, or bidding features that negatively impact customer experience, marketplace integrity, operational reliability, fraud prevention systems, customer service quality, payment systems, legal compliance obligations, or Platform reputation.

Ya’Mar may take enforcement action where reasonably necessary due to excessive shipping delays, repeated customer complaints, high dispute rates, excessive refunds or chargebacks, invalid tracking activity, misleading listings, counterfeit risk, suspicious bidding behavior, abusive conduct, poor seller performance, operational failures, suspicious sourcing activity, untrusted suppliers, or violations of Platform Policies.

Repeated operational failures, fulfillment-related violations, abusive bidding conduct, or poor customer experience metrics may result in listing removal, reduced visibility, reserve requirements, delayed payouts, account restrictions, permanent suspension, collections activity, arbitration, or legal enforcement where permitted by law.

​

11. Fraud Prevention, Platform Integrity, and Technical Interruptions

To maintain marketplace integrity, Ya’Mar may investigate suspicious bidding activity, payment fraud, chargeback abuse, manipulated evidence, fake accounts, excessive cancellations, unusual account behavior, collusion, auction manipulation, dispute abuse, scraping attempts, unauthorized bots, automated abuse, suspicious technical behavior, or operational threats.

Ya’Mar may use automated systems, fraud detection technologies, AI-assisted moderation tools, machine learning systems, automated review systems, behavioral analysis systems, and risk-scoring technologies to detect suspicious activity, investigate disputes, monitor abuse, evaluate account risk, and enforce Platform Policies.

Ya’Mar reserves the right to extend auctions, cancel auctions, reopen bidding, remove bids, restart auctions, adjust timing systems, correct auction errors, or modify auction outcomes where reasonably necessary due to technical failures, system interruptions, fraud investigations, operational concerns, connectivity problems, security risks, abusive bidding activity, or Platform errors.

Ya’Mar is not responsible for internet outages, connectivity issues, delayed bid processing, system latency, user device failures, technical interruptions, carrier failures, or operational issues outside reasonable control.

​

12. Platform Visibility and Auction Performance

Ya’Mar does not guarantee auction visibility, search placement, buyer participation, listing traffic, bid volume, sales outcomes, auction performance, or revenue generation.

Auction visibility and performance may vary based on seller performance, user behavior, fraud prevention measures, operational considerations, Platform algorithms, marketplace conditions, advertising systems, listing quality, Policy compliance, or technical limitations.

​

13. Disputes and Final Determinations

Ya’Mar may review bidding-related disputes, investigate suspicious activity, request supporting evidence, and make determinations regarding auction outcomes, payment disputes, bid validity, enforcement actions, fraud concerns, or Policy violations.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, all determinations are made at Ya’Mar’s reasonable discretion and are final.

​

14. Relationship to Other Policies

This Policy operates together with the Ya’Mar Terms of Service, Ya’Mar Shield Policy, Returns & Refund Policy, Seller Standards Policy, Shipping Policy, International Shipping Policy, Community Guidelines, Prohibited Items Policy, and all other applicable Platform Policies.

In the event of conflict, the Terms of Service govern to the fullest extent permitted by law.
