Site Fees

No Registration Fee!

Registration is required to bid or sell items on TDTeBid.com. However, there is no charge to become a patron. It is absolutely free and without obligation.

No Posting Fees!

We no longer charge for posting items to the site. Basic listings are completely free unless the item is won by a bidder or you have chosen to list the item with a Classified line ad. All basic listings will remain on the site for seven (7) days and include one photo with a description of the item.

No Bidding or Buying Fee!

It is completely free to bid and buy items on TDT eBid with registration. Other than the amount you bid, there will be no other fees to purchase items from other patrons.

Selling Fees

You may choose to list your item(s) with additional services to enhance the visibility of and interest in your auction. You may also list your items in the Classified section of the daily paper. These print charges must be paid for even if the item does not sell after the auction ends.

Listing an item with no optional services is free. If that item is sold to a winning bidder, a Final Value Fee will be charged based on the final selling price of that item.

Highlight - Make your listings stand out from others by choosing this option. It will add a light yellow background to the listing wherever it appears on the site.

Extra Photo Pack - This option will allow you to upload four (4) more photos to include with your item in addition to the original basic photo. This gives buyers a better picture of the item by showing it from different angles or in more detail.

Showcase Listing - A showcase listing will be randomly rotated with other showcase items on both the TDT eBid homepage and the Temple Daily Telegram's website, temple-telegram.com. Showcase listings will be seen by the largest audience and most likely drive bidding and a higher purchase price.

Optional Service Fees (must be paid if item sells; added to Final Value fee)

Final Value Fee (if sold)

Payment

Classified print fees are collected while posting items to the site.

Final Value Payments for TDT eBid services will be collected at the end of each auction along with any optional service fees. You will receive an email detailing your charges and instructing you to make a payment online. We only accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards.

If a patron does not make his/her final payment within 7 days, their account will be suspended and they will not be able to sell or buy from TDT eBid until payment is received.
