Auctions
  • Please make sure that your account is verified through the eKYC process if you wish to participate in an auction on ngageN.
  • ngageN sellers may use an auction-style format, allowing you to bid on an NFT. Bidding is fun, but keep in mind that each bid you make is a binding contract to buy the NFT if you win. If you are the winning bidder of more than one auction-style listed NFT, you will be required to purchase all the NFTs that you have won. Please see our Unpaid NFTs Policy for more details. The same is true for Buy It Now purchases.
  • You can’t retract a bid under any circumstances.
  • Make sure that you read the listing description before you bid.
  • You can't bid on your own NFT. We call this shill bidding and it violates our policies.
  • If you know the seller, you can't bid on the NFT with the intent to increase its price or desirability artificially. This rule applies to family, friends, roommates, employees, and online connections. Buying NFT from someone just to increase their feedback score or improve their search standing is called shill bidding, and it's against our policies
  • In the event you are the winning bidder and you do not pay the price within 24 hours of winning the bid, your account will be dealt with as per the Unpaid NFT Policy. Additionally, the next highest bidder will be given an option to purchase the NFT as per their bid.
Unpaid NFT Policy
