How do I buy on Trainbid?

Four ways: Buy Now at the listed price, Make Offer to propose your own price, Claim It to reserve an item with a 10% deposit and pay the rest in installments, or bid in an Auction. Checkout is secure through Stripe.

How does shipping work?

Sellers ship within 3 business days and provide tracking. Your shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay.

Payment is handled securely by Stripe at checkout. A $0.99 buyer checkout fee applies per order.

Claim It lets you reserve an eligible item with a 10% deposit, then pay the balance in two equal installments at 30 and 60 days. The item ships once it's paid in full.

What if an item isn't as described?

Inspect your item on arrival and open a resolution request through Trainbid if something's wrong. Our Return & Refund Policy explains the inspection window and how issues are resolved.

How do I sell on Trainbid?

Create a listing with photos and details, choose how to sell it — Buy Now, Auction, or accept offers — and set your price and shipping. Your listing goes live to a dedicated model-train and collectibles audience.

What does it cost to sell?

A 3.95% selling fee and a 3.55% payment-processing fee apply to each completed sale. If you use a Trainbid shipping label, the label cost is deducted; bank withdrawals have a $0.67 cashout fee.

Your funds are released once the buyer accepts the item, or after 5 days pass with no dispute — then you can withdraw to your bank.

How do I ship a sale?

Ship within 3 business days. Use a Trainbid-provided shipping label or your own carrier, and add valid tracking so your payout isn't delayed.

What if a buyer reports a problem?

Issues are handled through Trainbid's resolution process — you'll have the chance to work it out with the buyer (accept a return, refund, or a partial) in line with the Return & Refund Policy.
