FAQ
Everything you need to know about safe bidding on Mizad.
auctions
How does preliminary bidding work before sale day?
Before the live sale you can set a confidential maximum on any lot. The system bids for you by the smallest increment up to your limit, and when the lot opens in the lane it starts from the highest preliminary bid and continues with live bidding.
How does live selling in lanes work?
Each sale day has a lane that presents lots in order. A lot opens with a short countdown, every bid resets it, and when it ends the lot is declared sold or awaiting seller approval, then the next lot opens automatically.
What does "awaiting seller approval" mean?
If a lot ends with a highest bid below the seller's minimum, it goes to the seller within the published period to accept, reject or counter. Your bid stays binding during that period and your guarantee is held until the decision.
What is a pure sale?
A lot with no minimum: sold to the highest bidder whatever the amount when the countdown ends.
How does Buy Now work?
If the seller sets a Buy Now price, you can buy the lot at that price before bidding passes it; the lot closes and your deal is created immediately.
How do I buy a distinctive plate?
Distinctive plate auctions are for verified users: verify your identity, fund the guarantee and bid. After payment the number is officially transferred to your name at the General Traffic Directorate, and ownership is complete only upon registration there.
How do I check that a message or link is really from Mizad?
Use the "Check a message" page and paste the link, account number or phone. Mizad never asks for your password or verification code, and only asks for transfers to the customer-funds account shown on the payment page. All our messages include the security phrase you chose.
Bidding
Is a bid binding?
Yes. If the auction is won with your bid, a deal and contract are created that bind you to buy at the price you bid.
Why was the auction time extended?
Bidding in the last seconds extends the auction automatically so everyone gets a fair chance to respond.
Contracts & signing
How do I sign the contract?
From the deal passport: review the terms, then re-enter your password to confirm your identity. The signature is recorded with the fingerprint of the version you signed.
What is office verification?
Large deals require both parties to attend the company office to sign the paper version and match it with the electronic one.
Pickup & delivery
What is the objection period?
A period after delivery during which you can open a dispute if the asset doesn’t match the contract or inspection report. After it, the deal completes.
Disputes
How do I open a dispute?
From the deal passport, choose the dispute reason and write the details, then add your evidence. The other party’s guarantee is frozen until the final decision.
Financial guarantee
Why do I pay a guarantee before bidding?
The guarantee prevents fake bids and protects the seller and serious buyers. Its amount is shown on the auction page and calculated by the bid value.
When do I get my guarantee back?
If you don’t win, it becomes ready for return as soon as the auction closes. If you win, it is returned after the deal completes or deducted from the price according to the auction terms.
Can my guarantee be deducted without my knowledge?
No. Any deduction requires a staged dispute and a final decision after an appeal period, approval by independent employees, and appears in your guarantee log.
Inspection
What do inspection grades A to E mean?
A grade calculated by a certified inspector from a comprehensive checklist. Any material defect caps the grade regardless of the average, and an approved report cannot be edited.
Payments & invoices
How do I pay for what I bought?
Through the approved payment provider or the company office before the payment deadline shown on your invoice and deal passport.
What if I don’t pay within the deadline?
The system automatically opens a "non-payment" dispute, which may result in compensation for the seller from your guarantee after a final decision.
