01
Instant Bid Settlement
As soon as a bid wins, the payment is authorised and settled, so sellers are paid quickly and bidders receive immediate confirmation.
-
02
Hold Until Confirmed
Funds from a winning bid can be held securely until the seller confirms the item, protecting both sides of the sale.
-
03
Fewer Unpaid Wins
Because payment details are verified up front, platforms see fewer non-paying bidders and far less payment fraud.
Frequently asked questions
How do payments work for a winning bid?
When a bid wins, Pagadera authorises the payment and settles it to the seller. The winning bidder pays directly from their own bank, and the platform never has to handle card or account details.
Can funds be held until the sale is confirmed?
Yes. Winning-bid funds can be held securely and released once the seller confirms the item is ready, giving both parties protection during the sale.
Is bidder payment information safe?
Completely. No financial information is shared with the auction platform or with Pagadera; it stays only with the bidder's bank or credit union.
Does this reduce non-paying bidders?
Yes. Because payment is verified at the point of winning, platforms experience fewer unpaid wins and less fraud than with traditional invoicing.
Is this a peer-to-peer transfer?
No. Every Pagadera payment is consumer-to-business, so the money flows cleanly from the bidder to the auction business rather than between individuals.
