Last updated: 14 November 2025

 

Welcome to AuctionBargain.com, a next-generation e-commerce and auction marketplace operated by Confidia Limited, an Australian public company with affiliated entities in Australia, Thailand, New Zealand, Europe, and other regions.

 

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and interaction with our website, mobile applications, and related digital services (collectively, the “Platform”). By accessing or using AuctionBargain.com, you agree to comply with these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use our Services.

 

These Terms of Use should be read together with our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, which together outline the legal framework, user obligations, and data protection standards applicable to your use of AuctionBargain.com.

 

 

 

1. Our Role and Platform Overview

AuctionBargain.com is a global online marketplace and auction platform where independent merchants, buyers, and affiliates engage in commerce using trusted local and international payment options.

The platform is owned and operated by Confidia Limited, which provides the technology, payment infrastructure, compliance oversight, and marketing systems that enable the marketplace to operate securely and efficiently.

Marketplace Operator Notice
AuctionBargain.com and Confidia Limited act solely as the marketplace operator and payment platform provider. We do not own, hold, import, or fulfill any products listed on the site. All goods are listed, described, and shipped directly by independent third-party merchants, who are solely responsible for their own listings, pricing, delivery, and after-sales obligations.

Confidia manages payment processing, account settlements, and dispute facilitation, but does not act as a party to any sale or transaction between buyer and seller.

All final settlements, refunds, or exchanges are handled by the relevant merchant.

For escalated cases, users may contact our compliance team at support@auctionbargain.com.
