Getting started

How does KKTC Bid work?

Even if you have never joined an online auction, follow this page in order to buy a vehicle or list your own with confidence.

The short version

  1. Create an account and verify your email address.
  2. Review the vehicle, photos, inspection details and auction terms.
  3. Use one package right or tokens to join the auction.
  4. Bid when you are not the current leader, or use Buy Now when available.
  5. If you win, use the result screen to contact the seller and complete the transfer.

For buyers

Your participation right is used only when you first enter an auction. Further valid bids in the same auction do not consume another right.

01

Prepare your account

Create an individual or corporate account and verify the link sent to your email. Phone and identity verification are not required for bidding.

02

Inspect the vehicle

Before joining, you can see the make, model, mileage, colour, media, damage declaration, inspection summary, delivery and payment information.

03

Join the auction

Choose a package right or tokens and accept the participation terms to unlock bidding. This is done once per auction.

04

Place a bid

Enter the displayed minimum amount or more. If you already lead, you cannot raise your own bid; you may bid again after another user bids.

05

Use Buy Now

When available, Buy Now ends the auction immediately at the displayed fixed price. After confirmation you go directly to the result screen.

06

Complete the transaction

The winning buyer and seller can see verified contact details on the result screen. Payment, official transfer and delivery are completed between the parties.

For sellers

Eligible listings from verified, unrestricted users are scheduled for publication without waiting for separate administrator approval.

01

Select vehicle details

Enter year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission, body, colour and mileage using the guided catalogue.

02

Add clear media

Upload clear exterior, interior, dashboard, engine and defect photos. The first photo is the cover; video is optional.

03

Declare condition accurately

Mark each body panel as original, locally painted, painted or replaced. Add an inspection PDF and damage record when available.

04

Set price and schedule

Choose currency, starting price, minimum increment, optional reserve/Buy Now price, and start/end times.

05

Choose a publishing right

Use a listing right in your package or tokens. Featuring the listing uses a separate right or token amount.

06

Follow the result

If the reserve is met, a winner is assigned when the auction ends. Use the result screen for contact, transfer, delivery and completion.

What do the price fields mean?

Starting price

The first amount shown before the auction receives any bids.

Minimum increment

The minimum amount by which a new bid must exceed the current highest bid.

Reserve price

The seller’s confidential minimum. No winner is created if bidding stays below it.

Buy Now

A fixed price that ends the auction immediately when used.

Currency

The code and symbol are shown together on every amount: TRY (₺) or STG (£).

Last-minute extension

A bid near closing can extend the auction by the displayed number of minutes, allowing a fair response.

Package rights and tokens

Package right

A monthly quota in your active package for joining, creating or featuring auctions.

Token

If no applicable package right remains, the displayed token cost is deducted from your balance.

No repeated charge

After joining an auction, later bids in that same auction do not consume another right or token amount.

Use the platform safely

  • Read the description, media and inspection information before bidding.
  • Check the currency and bid amount again before confirming.
  • Bids are binding; do not share your account.
  • Discuss payment and transfer only with the verified counterparty shown on the result screen.
  • Use the report/complaint option on the transaction screen for suspicious activity or disputes.

Frequently asked questions

Must I join to view an auction?

No. Vehicle and auction information is visible before joining. Only the bidding area is locked.

Can I bid again while I am leading?

No. You cannot raise your own leading bid until another user places a higher bid.

Is Buy Now a normal bid?

No. It is a separate fixed-price action. On success, the auction closes immediately and the result screen opens.

What if the reserve is not met?

The auction ends without a winner or sale transaction.

Do I pay the vehicle price to the platform?

No. KKTC Bid is an intermediary platform; the buyer and seller handle payment, official transfer and delivery.

Are phone or identity checks required?

A verified email is sufficient to create and join auctions. Accounts that breach security or auction rules may still be restricted.
