We are currently tracking an issue with auctions setup as “Buy it Now”.  Our developers are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Due to the Canadian Postal strike, items bound for Canada will need to be shipped via an alternate carrier.  Buyers and sellers will be notified of any additional cost incurred to ship the items, on an individual basis. If your item has sold to a Canadian resident, please contact us at support@tinbids.com to obtain a shipping label.  Please do not generate a label from the site, the USPS will reject the package.  These conditions will remain in effect until further notice.

Thank you!

We will be performing system wide updates over the next 24 hours.  During this time, the auto email notification system may be unavailable.  If you have auctions that have concluded, you are encouraged to check your account for auction status.  We apologize for any inconvenience, we expect the delivery system to be restored shortly.

Our new user feedback feature is now live.  Buyers and Sellers, will be able to leave ratings and share details about their auction experience within the community.  See our FAQ’s for more details.
