Buying on Bbop

The new and improved Bbop marketplace is designed to offer something for everyone and make buying an item as simple as possible.

The best way to start is by creating an account - It’s fast and easy, and you can define preferences like your location, language and currency.

The Marketplace

Well the simplest way is - you guessed it - use the search bar to find what you're looking for. Afterwards you can use the categories and filters to refine the search.

• You can also navigate through the marketplace by selecting Categories in the box on the right of the homepage. 
• The features box lets you filter by price, year, format (auction or sale), condition, and other more specific features by type.
• There are two ways to search by location. Use the "distance from me" slider to search for listings only within a certain distance from you. Or use the Location setting to choose which countries you would like to shop in (for example, only your own).
  • "Ships to me" shows all items that have said they will ship to your country.
  • "All EU Countries" shows only items located in Europe.
• You can sort the results by date, price, or relevance.

The Listing Details

There are several ways to buy on Bbop, but the most straightforward is of course to hit that blue Buy it Now button!

• If seller is open to lower price offers, you will see the Make Offer button, where you can send them your best price offer and a message.
• For auctions, the seller can choose to have a Buy it Now price. You can buy the item immediately for this price, but the option will disappear once the first bid is made.
• if the description is not in your language, click See translation to see an automatic translation of the text.
