I have received a second chance offer. What does it mean?

The second chance offer can be used in the case of auction listings. Using this option, the seller can offer the item to anyone – besides the winning bidder – who made a bid at the auction.

By sending a second chance offer, the seller gives a chance to the bidder to buy the item for the bid amount that they placed at the auction.

When can the second chance offer be used?

The seller can send you a second chance offer in the following cases:

• There were bids at the auction, but the auction was unsuccessful because the highest bid didn’t reach the reserve price.
• The winning bidder failed to complete the transaction for some reason.
• If there are multiple uniform pieces available from an auction item, besides the winning bidder, the seller can offer the item to other bidders as well.

How does it work?

When you send a second chance offer to a bidder, the bidder receives an offer from you for their bid amount.

For example: if the bidder’s highest bid was 16,000 HUF, that bidder will receive a 16,000 HUF offer from you and can buy the item for this amount.

You can accept or refuse the offer, but you cannot make a counteroffer. The offer’s duration is determined by the seller, and it can be 1, 3, 5 or 7 days.

Useful information

• The seller has 60 days to send a second chance offer.
• A bidder may receive a second chance offer only once.
