How Bidding Works on FIFA Collect
Make Your Offer, Get the Collectibles You Want
Sometimes, the collectible you’re after—like a Right to Buy (RTB) for a match in your city or that last piece to finish a challenge—just isn’t available at the price you’d like. That’s where bidding comes in! With FIFA Collect’s bidding feature, you can reach out directly to sellers and propose a price that works for you.
How Bidding Works - Buyers
- Find Your Collectible: Browse the Marketplace for items you want—whether it’s a rare RTB, a favorite player, or a challenge piece.
- Place Your Bid: Once you’ve found what you were looking for, click on ‘Place Bid’. Enter the amount you’re willing to pay. Make sure you have enough funds in your Wallet before bidding (to find out how to add funds to your wallet, click here).
- Set Your Time Limit: You decide how long your offer stands—choose a deadline from as little as 3 hours, or leave it open-ended. This is the window for the seller to accept or reject your bid, and for other fans to place their own offers.
- Wait for a Response: Once you submit your bid:
- The amount you offered is frozen in your Wallet.
- If the seller accepts your offer, the funds are transferred, and the collectible is yours!
- If the seller rejects your bid, (or the time limit expires), your funds are automatically returned to your Wallet.
Why use Bidding?
- Name Your Price: Don't wait for a price drop - make your own offer.
- Chase the Rare Stuff: Try for RTBs or missing collectibles that aren’t always easy to find.
- Stay in Control: You set your offer and your time limit.
What Happens During the Bidding Window?
- Your bid is locked in: The amount you offer is reserved and can’t be used elsewhere until the bid is resolved.
- Other users can compete: If the seller receives multiple bids, they can choose which offer to accept.
- You’re always in the loop: Check your active bids in your dashboard and watch for notifications about your bid status.
How Bidding Works - Sellers
Listing a collectible for sale? Sometimes your asking price might be a bit high for buyers—or maybe your item sits unsold for a while. Bidding gives you a new way to connect with interested fans and negotiate a price that works for both sides.
- Receive Offers Instantly: When a buyer places a bid on your collectible, you’ll get a notification (look for the bell icon), and you can review all offers in your My Bids dashboard.
- You’re Always in Control: Each time a bid comes in, you decide what happens next. You can accept the offer, making the sale instantly, or reject it and keep your collectible on the market.
- Open the Door to Negotiation: Bidding is a way for buyers to start a conversation. It lets both parties explore different price points and find a deal that feels right.
Why accept bids?
- Move Items Faster: Attract more interest and increase your chances of a sale—even if your initial price was too high.
- Stay Flexible: Adjust your selling strategy based on real buyer feedback and market demand.
- Keep Full Control: No bid is ever accepted automatically. You decide if and when to sell, every time.
Bidding turns selling into a dynamic, two-way process—helping you connect with more fans and make sales on your terms.
Quick Tips
- Have funds ready: Only bids backed by your Wallet balance can be placed.
- Choose your time wisely: Shorter time limits can prompt faster decisions, but longer ones might attract more competing offers.
- Be strategic: Consider what the collectible is worth to you and make your best offer.
- Refresh & Stay Notified: Refresh the page and use the notification bell to stay up to date with the latest activity.
Historical Bids: Learn from the Competition
Want to see how the auction is shaping up? Every auction displays a full history of previous bids—including the bid amount, an anonymized bidder ID, and the time of each bid. Access the bid history right on the auction page or find it in your account under Settings alongside your Wallet, Profile, and Collection. Use this information to strategize your next move!
Auction Time Limits & Fair Play
Every auction has a clear end time, shown on the collectible’s page. To keep things fair for everyone, if a new bid comes in during the final few minutes, the auction is automatically extended—giving all fans a chance to respond and preventing last-second “sniping.”
