Sign in, then make sure you have a shipping/billing address and a payment method on file. If the show is set to Buyer choice, pick Shipping or Local Pickup in the live room first.

You’ll usually see three formats: Auction, Buy It Now, and Giveaway.

• Buy Now: purchase at a fixed price right away.
• Join / FREE GIVEAWAY: enter a free giveaway drawing.
• If payment doesn’t finish automatically, use Checkout All in the side panel.

• Bid $xx: during a live auction, place the next minimum bid in one tap.
• Custom: enter your own amount and tap Place Bid (a live bid while the auction is running). If an item is only Pin’d and not started yet, Custom often becomes Max Bid instead.
• Pre-bid: bid before the auction starts. Your interest stays private to other buyers and may raise the displayed price.
• Max Bid: set a private ceiling; the system auto-bids for you up to that limit. You can Update Max Bid later.

If you have unpaid auction orders, you may be blocked from bidding until you pay.

1. Choose Local Pickup (or join a pickup-only show) and complete payment.
2. Wait until the order status is Ready for Pickup.
3. Open the App → Me → Purchases → order details, then show your Order QR Code so the seller can scan it.

You can choose delivery options on the website; showing the QR code and completing handoff happens mainly in the App.

On the web, open Vendor Registration, or sign up in the App as a Vendor. Then go to Store Manager, finish your store profile, and complete Stripe Verification. Wait for approval before you sell.

1) An approved seller account; 2) a complete store profile (including address); 3) Stripe payout verification; 4) at least one sellable product. You should also be ready to ship or offer Local Pickup.

Physical retail goods such as jewelry, apparel, accessories, and home items. List products in Store Manager / App My Products, then attach them to a live show. Sales must follow U.S. laws and our prohibited-items rules.

Prohibited or tightly restricted: counterfeits and IP infringement, weapons and ammunition, illegal drugs, tobacco and certain nicotine products, adult sexual content, live animals, hazardous/flammable chemicals, unauthorized prescription drugs, and recalled or otherwise illegally resaleable goods. If you’re unsure, email support@gpbid.com before listing.

Once you’re approved and Stripe plus your store profile are done, many sellers can create a show and go live the same day. With complete paperwork, most sellers can start within one business day.

On the web: Store Manager → My Shows → Add New Show. Go live from the App: Me → My Shows → Go Live (Host). Run the auction and controls from the web Console.

List the products first, then attach them as Auction / Buy It Now / Giveaway while editing the show. During the stream, Pin or Start items from the left side of Console.

In Console, tap Start on an item and enter the Starting bid ($) in the Start Auction dialog.

Yes. You choose the starting bid—just make sure the price still works with your margins and shipping.

Not as a separate feature in the current version. Use the starting bid instead, or re-run the item later if it doesn’t sell.

The item is marked Passed. You can Unpin it, move to Next Item, or Start it again later.

Yes. The same product can be started again in the current show or a later one.

Yes. Switch to Buy It Now in Console and tap Start BIN.

Through the Live list on the website and App, your store page, show reminders, and any live links you share.

Keep a consistent schedule, use a clear cover and title, feature strong products, run occasional Giveaways, share to social, and offer fair shipping or Local Pickup.

Live entry points surface shows that are live or upcoming. Extra ranking boosts or paid promotion depend on current campaigns—we don’t guarantee a specific amount of exposure.

Yes—and we encourage it. Copy your short live link to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and more. Console also has a share entry point.

Typically a platform commission on sales plus payment processing fees (Stripe). Opening a store and creating shows usually has no separate show fee (membership packages, if any, are announced separately).

Working figure: 10% of the item sale amount (excluding buyer shipping, subject to your settlement settings).

Yes. Card payments are typically about 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Refunds and chargebacks may add fees under the payment provider’s rules.

Example (item only at $100): about $10 commission + ~$3.20 processing → roughly $86.80. Your settlement statement is the source of truth.

By default, buyers pay shipping at checkout. Local Pickup is $0 shipping. Sellers can also absorb shipping in their pricing.

Not as a built-in label service. Print labels with your own carrier account.

Shipping-combine logic applies to mail orders from the same buyer, same live show, and same seller. For cross-show orders, coordinate with the buyer yourself.

Aim to ship and mark Shipped within 3 business days of payment. For pickup orders, mark Ready for Pickup promptly and complete the scan handoff.

After funds clear through Stripe Connect, U.S. sellers can typically withdraw in about 2–7 business days (depends on your account and risk checks). Check Stripe / your seller dashboard for the exact timing.

Finish Stripe Verification, then follow Payments / Stripe in your seller dashboard to transfer to your bank account.

We try to charge automatically; if that fails, the order stays unpaid. After about 1 hour without payment it may auto-cancel, and the buyer may be blocked from bidding until they pay. You can auction the item again.

In general, no casual cancellations after a sale. Unpaid timeouts follow the rule above. Paid refunds follow the refund policy or support review.

Keep shipping, delivery/pickup proof, and message history. We can help provide order and fulfillment records; outcomes follow the user agreement and the payment provider’s decision.
