Auction rules

1. Who can take part

• An active Foroshga account with a verified phone number.
• Some auctions require identity verification or a minimum account level; the requirements are shown on each auction page.
• Sellers cannot bid on their own auctions.

2. Deposits

• If an auction requires a deposit, the amount is shown before you join, and you can bid only after Foroshga confirms the deposit.
• The winner's deposit is applied to the final price. Other bidders' deposits are released after the auction ends.

3. Bids are binding

• Every bid is a real commitment to buy and cannot be withdrawn once placed.
• If anti-sniping is enabled, a bid in the final minutes extends the auction.
• If the seller set a reserve price and the highest bid does not reach it, the item is not sold.

4. What the winner must do and payment deadline

• When the auction ends, the highest bidder is declared the winner and a chat between buyer and seller opens automatically.
• The winner must pay the remaining amount within the deadline stated on the auction page or in the chat, and arrange collection or delivery.

5. Cancellation

• Sellers can edit or withdraw an auction only before it starts.
• Foroshga may pause or cancel an auction that breaks the rules; any deposits are then released.

6. Fees

• Foroshga currently charges no auction commission. Any entry fee or deposit is shown on the auction page before you join.

7. Non-payment and disputes

• If the winner does not pay, their deposit may be paid to the seller and their account may be restricted from future auctions.
• The buyer or seller can use "Report a problem" on the auction page. The Foroshga team reviews the case and announces the outcome.
