Getting started

What is Bazigo?
expand_more
A Czech and Slovak online marketplace for second-hand items. You can sell with a personal handover or online: the buyer pays by card through Bazigo, you send the item via Packeta and get the money once the buyer confirms everything arrived fine.
How much do registration and listing cost?
expand_more
Nothing. Registration and listing offers are free, with no limit on their number, and we take nothing from the seller's price. The buyer pays delivery and purchase protection, the seller only the payout to their bank account.

What is purchase protection?

You don't pay the seller directly but through us. We hold the money until you confirm the item arrived and matches the description. If the seller rejects the order or doesn't ship in time, you get the whole payment back.

Can I cancel an order?
expand_more
Yes, until the seller confirms it. You get the whole payment back. Once confirmed, the order can't be cancelled.
What if the item doesn't match the description?
expand_more
Don't confirm the pickup and report the problem in the order within 3 days. We keep holding the money, look into the case and decide whether you get back the full price, half of it or nothing. We recommend photographing or filming the unpacking.

Can I return an item without giving a reason?
expand_more
No. The 14-day return period of online shops doesn't apply to buying from a private person. If you are unsure, ask the seller in messages before buying.
Can I negotiate the price?
expand_more
Yes. In messages you can offer the seller a different price. If they accept, you buy the item for it.
What if I don't pick up the parcel?
expand_more
It goes back to the seller and the order is cancelled. We refund the item price minus the delivery and return costs, purchase protection is not refunded.

I got an order. What now?
expand_more
Confirm or reject it within 3 days. After confirming, print the label in the order and take the parcel to Packeta within 7 days. If you don't make it, the order is cancelled and the buyer gets the money back. A warning about an order not shipped then shows on your profile for a year, and if it happens a second time within a year, we block the account for a year.

What is a TOP offer?
expand_more
A paid highlight: a topped offer ranks first in results for 7 days, so more people see it. With Premium you get one free TOP for every paid month.
I'm going away and can't ship. What about my offers?
expand_more
Turn on vacation mode in Settings. Your offers are hidden for a while so nobody buys them, and you bring them back with one click when you return.

Payments and fees

How do I pay?
expand_more
Online orders are paid by card on bazigo.com through the Stripe payment gateway. For a personal handover you agree on the payment with the seller yourselves, but purchase protection doesn't cover it.
What fees do I pay?
expand_more
The buyer pays delivery and purchase protection, calculated from the item price and delivery. The seller only pays for the payout from the wallet to a bank account. Exact amounts are in the pricing.

Do I get an invoice?
expand_more
Yes, for everything Bazigo charges: purchase protection and delivery, Premium, TOP, verification and the payout fee. We send it by e-mail and you also find it in Billing.
Can I pay by bank transfer or outside Bazigo?
expand_more
We don't recommend it. Outside Bazigo you have no purchase protection and nobody will refund you. Anyone pushing you to pay outside Bazigo breaks the rules, please report them.
