You must be legally allowed to sell the item you are offering, by a combination of ownership, permission of the owner, legality of the item and acceptance of our prohibited items list. It is the seller's responsibility to ensure that the item is legal to be sold to the destination that it is being sent to and sold from. You must give a full and true description of the item. Listings must not contain any personal contact information. Once a listing goes live on the website any listing fees will be deemed chargeable and remain unless LGGAuctions finds reason to withdraw the listing. Once you have started a live listing you agree that you do not have the rights to a refund under the Distance Selling Regulations Act 2000 or similar local acts.

You agree never to include any personal contact information in any listings.

A seller is committed to selling the item as soon as a bid is either purchased via “Instant Purchase” “Sealed bids” or an over reserve bid on a standard auction.

You must not bid on an item that you are selling yourself, or ask others to bid on an item that you are selling to falsely increase the price. LGGAuctions will investigate bidding patterns in such cases.

• Buying

When you make an over reserve price bid, “Instant Purchase” bid or place a successful “Sealed Bid” you are legally bound to complete the transaction with the seller. The conditions of the sale are between yourself and the seller and reference should be made to their item description. You may retract bids only in very limited circumstances. As a buyer you must be in a position to fund your purchase.
