I registered, seems pretty straightforward. You can set a starting bid, a buy it now price, reserve price, you can have your auction run from 1 to 30 days and you set the shipping, small, medium or large flat rate box.

I was watching a tin of Three Nuns form the 90's that had a bid of $306. I wonder what the final bid was? There's no way to check completed auctions.
I think if you "watch" the item, you can then go to your account and see the item, after it sells...........
I saw that tin, but did not have it in my watch cue.......... last I saw was $306 too............
Posted an auction to check it out, but wanted to change the order of the pictures, it’s not super clear how to arrange them when you create, hint you can drag the image rows when you create your posting, no way to edit or cancel auctions. I thought i must be missing something but alas no, i emailed them and was told “those features will be available in October”, they were nice enough to cancel the auction so i could repost.
their customer service reply was fast and helpful, big points for that though!

I’ve been watching the esoterica and McClelland stuff … $400 for stonehaven, 200+ for every other esoterica product …. McClelland 40th selling at 170-180 , saw some on this site quickly sell for 165 . If these prices are legit, which I think they are , damn…
I would list some stuff but don’t want to deal with shipping international especially to China , can you block international bidders ???

Don’t recall seeing that but if it’s international shipping tinbids generates the shipping label, figures costs and even sends tryouts the customs declaration paperwork. From what i see all country regulations are on the buyer, which should mean as long as you drop at the post office and have a receipt for sending it you are done with your end. But I’d email and ask.
I don't think you can block or pick and choose what countries you'll ship to. From what I read, Tinbids sends you the shipping label with the customs form already filled out. Seems pretty simple. I have one tin listed just to check out how the who.e process works.
We must of been typing at the same time. It seems pretty simple. When my tin sells and I get paid and ship it...I'll post my thoughts.
Package received Monday, I bought it on Saturday … Buying couldn’t be easier …
still wish they did a non international option for selling

You are very right there … it probably is worth it to pay more for postage , insured type mail, on my end if I can get those prices … other very popular pipe and tobacco consignors have changed shipping policies and now charge a lot more for international shipping , because it’s really hard to track packages to say China
I do have esoterica to sell , and those prices blow my mind .
Buyer pays shipping, and the labels are provided by tin bids, all you have to do is drop it in a box and slap on the labels, they also send you the correct customs labels, once you drop it in the mail it's not your problem anymore. I'm not sure how the guarantees work but I'm positive it's buyer beware especially buying from other countries.
I saw these and my first thought was overseas buyers. Given my experience with the 2022 Dunbar, I hope they are happy with what they get.
