Return, Refund & Cancellation Policies

Cancellation Policy (Request Timing):

Buyers can request a cancellation from sellers through the app within 24 hours of purchase or until the shipping label has been printed by the seller, whichever comes later. Cancellation requests for misbids or accidental bids must be made within 2 hours of the error for the request to be considered. Please note: The cancellation is at the sole discretion of the Seller.

Refund:

At BidMandi, we’re committed to ensuring a trustworthy buying experience for everyone. We are simply a platform provider and hence the refund lies solely on the discretion of the seller. You can directly contact the seller for any refund queries and we will persuade the seller to oblige. How to get help with an order: If you have an issue with your order, submit a request through the app to get help with your order. When buyers are entitled to a refund: Our buyer protection policy covers the issues set out below, provided you request your refund within the specified timelines (and your request isn’t otherwise excluded as set out under ‘When buyers are ineligible for a refund’ below).

• The item is substantially delayed in getting shipped
• The item is substantially delayed in transit
• The item was damaged in transit
• An item from your package is missing
• The item is incorrect or the item is correct but the wrong size/color
• The item you received does not match the description, condition, or photos listed
• The item is defective, doesn’t work, or expired
• The item is a counterfeit or fake
• You had to pay additional postage to receive the item
• Sales tax was charged incorrectly
• For EU and UK buyers only, you have received the item and would like to return it unconsumed as permitted under the applicable right of withdrawal (as more specifically set out under Refund Request Time Frames (EU and UK))

BidMandi may require you to return your item before receiving a refund. If so, we require you to return your purchase in the same condition as you received it. For example, opening a product or removing tags may disqualify your order from being refunded or reduce the eligible refund amount. High Value Loss Reimbursement Policy:

• Sports Cards or Trading Cards obtained in breaks may be eligible for a separate high-value loss reimbursement` (i.e., buyers are eligible for a refund of the item’s market value if it is higher than the order value). BidMandi will help assess the appropriate refund amount due based on market value. Any decision on market values by BidMandi are final and will be agreed upon by the seller.

When buyers are ineligible for a refund: While our Buyer Protection Policy protects buyers when unexpected events impact their purchase, there are some circumstances where we do not provide a refund, even if the refund claim may fall under the issues listed above.

• Consumable Products: Because the value of consumable products changes once the product is consumed or opened, we may not provide refunds on consumable products, including:
  • Breaks, Mystery Games, and Pull Games: any item(s) purchased in a break, mystery game, or pull game show format are only eligible for a refund if an item is missing, delayed, incorrect, or damaged. See High Value Loss Reimbursement Policy below for more on missing high value cards.
  • Other consumable products: any other product that is consumed or opened by the buyer in a manner that changes the item’s value is ineligible for a refund.

• Orders With PSA Grading: Purchases with PSA grading are ineligible for a refund unless:
  • The item was lost or damaged in transit between the seller and PSA, or PSA and the buyer; or PSA could not grade the item, in which case the item will be sent to you and the charge for grading service will be refunded.
  • Purchasing grading is solely at the discretion of the buyer and receiving a lower grade than expected is not grounds for a refund.
• Tips: Any tips to sellers are ineligible for refunds.
• Refusing Delivery: Refusing delivery of your purchase does not qualify your order for a refund unless the parcel carrier requires you to pay additional postage to receive the package. Customs fees are not considered postage costs.
• Customs Fees: Refusal to pay applicable customs or duties due does not qualify the order for a refund. Additionally, any customs fees or duties paid are not eligible for a refund. If you paid import duties or taxes as part of clearing your package through customs but you then returned the item, please contact your customs authority regarding a refund of the charges.
• Chargebacks: Orders that have been disputed with your financial institution are ineligible for refunds.
• Digital Content: Pattern PDFs, and other Digital Content are ineligible for refunds.
• Potential fraud abuse of policy: Buyers that exhibit indications of refund and/or return fraud, abuse of policy, or otherwise violate BidMandi policies may be refused refunds or have action taken against their account. Any determination of potential abuse or fraud is at the full discretion of BidMandi.
• Incorrect item returned: You will not be eligible for a refund if you return an incorrect item (and the item will not be returned to you by BidMandi). When packing your return, please carefully check that you are returning the correct item. You will not be compensated for any incorrect items sent to BidMandi.
• Off platform transactions: Any transactions that occur off BidMandi are not eligible for a refund.

FAQ for buyers:

• How do I get support for my order?
  • You can submit a request directly through the app from your Purchases page. Click on the order you need help with, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click “Get help with this purchase.” Here are complete instructions to Contact BidMandi Support.
• What if I need to return my item?
  • For many refund requests, BidMandi may ask you to return the item before issuing your refund. When a return is required, your returned item must be delivered back to BidMandi in the exact condition you received the item in, before a refund will be processed.
  • Once your refund request has been approved, you will be emailed a return shipping label. In addition to reviewing our packaging guidelines for packaging tips, you must ship your return within 7 days of your refund request getting approved.
  • Failure to package your item correctly, drop it off within 7 days of refund approval, or return the item in a different condition than you received the item in may result in your refund request getting canceled and your order(s) becoming ineligible for future refund requests.
• When will I receive my refund?
  • You should see the refund reflected on your original form of payment within 3-5 business days after your refund has been processed by the Seller. Please bear in mind that refund is solely at the discretion of the Seller. The refund may show up as a credit or the original charge may drop off your credit card or bank statement entirely.
  • If your refund request does not require a return, your refund will be processed on the same day that your refund request is accepted by the Seller.
  • If you have not received your refund within 14 days of the item being delivered back to us, please contact Support, so that our team can assist you.
• I never received an item from a seller, what do I do?
  • We ask the Sellers to ship orders within 2-3 business days of purchase to make sure your item arrives on time. An item shipped by a seller will take 5-12 days, on average, to arrive at your doorstep after the seller ships it. If your package still has not received a tracking update after 7 days, contact our Support team with your order number(s) and tracking number handy. We will be happy to reach out to the seller to get an update on your order.
  • Please contact support within 30 days of placing an order if you have not received a tracking update or your package. If you do not contact support within 30 days of placing the order BidMandi reserves the right to deny your refund request via the Seller.
  • Note that Sellers are only able to refund the purchase price. Any perceived value increase cannot be refunded. The only exception to this policy is in the event of missing high-value cards hit in a break.
  • If you have any questions, please Contact BidMandi Support through the BidMandi app. We will be happy to help.
