What is bidcy?

bidcy is the worlds online marketplace - a place for buyers and sellers to come together and trade almost anything!

Here's how it works:

  • A seller lists an item on bidcy - from antiques to cars, books to sporting goods. The seller chooses to accept only bids for the item (an online auction) or to offer the Buy Now option, which allows buyers to purchase the item right away.
  • In an online auction, the bidding opens at a price the seller specifies and remains on bidcy for a certain number of days. Buyers then place bids on the item. When the listing ends, the buyer with the highest bid wins!
  • In fixed price listings that offer Buy Now, the first buyer willing to pay the sellers price gets the item.

  2. Check your email-bidcy will send you a message with a link and instructions for confirming and validating your registration.
