Shill Bidding. Capping, Steering, Buy Backs:
Shill bidding damages the integrity and fairness of the marketplace. For that reason, we prohibit shill bidding. Shill bidding happens when anyone - including family, friends, roommates, employees, or online connections - bids on an item with the intent to artificially increase its price or desirability. In addition, sellers cannot bid on or buy items in order to "ensure ones investment". Shill bidders risk having their accounts banned and/or reported to authorities for fraud. Shill bidding shall be determined solely by MBIDZ. Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
- Listing cancellation
- Forfeit of MBIDZ fees on cancelled listings
- Limits on account privileges
- Loss of Verified status
- Account suspension
- Referral to Law Enforcement
Shill bidding is also illegal in many places and can carry severe penalties. MBIDZ has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY against shill bidding and uses IP Address Tracking and other methods to enforce this.
Anti-Counterfeiting Policy:
Customers must be able to trust that they can always buy with confidence on MBIDZ. Therefore, products offered for sale on MBIDZ must be authentic. The sale of counterfeit products, including any products that have been illegally replicated, reproduced, or manufactured, is strictly prohibited.
We take product authenticity very seriously. It is each seller’s responsibility to source and sell only authentic products. If you sell counterfeit goods, we may immediately suspend or terminate your selling privileges. The sale of counterfeit goods can also lead to legal action by rights holders and civil and criminal penalties.
Items and Descriptions:
The list of material offered for sale and its description has been compiled from available data, but there is no guarantee or warranty on the part of MBIDZ relative to quantity, kind, character, description, condition, and/or suitability for use for which it may be desired by the buyer, or in any other respect whatsoever.
Acceptable Payment Methods:
Payment for property purchased from MBIDZ sellers must be made either in person or online. Each MBIDZ seller determines what payment methods they are willing to accept. Please carefully read each and every auction listing to find the acceptable payment methods for that particular auction listing.
Michigan Sales / Use Tax:
All items for sale by MBIDZ sellers are subject to all applicable Michigan Sales/Use Tax in accordance with Michigan Sales Tax Act #167, P. A. 1933, as amended.
Sanctions:
Bidders may be barred from participation in MBIDZ sales or use of the MBIDZ web site for any of the following:
-
a) Failure to observe the terms and conditions of sale and/or website.
-
b) Payment for purchases with any payment method, which is dishonored by a payer bank, depository bank, intermediary bank, collecting bank, presenting bank, or remitting bank as dishonered, insufficient, stolen, or counterfeit.
-
c) Failure to claim all purchases during the time period specified.
-
d) Shilling, capping, or steering relative to an auction.
-
e) Attempting to consign stolen goods.

f) Theft.
Buyers Responsibility; Forfeiture:

Failure to follow through with any and all of the Terms and Conditions will result in a buyer’s MBIDZ account being closed with forfeiture of eligibility to bid on future items and may also lead to civil action in a court of law.
