Why a bid is refused

The price expired, the amount left changed, or the amount or rate is outside what the order allows.

Last reviewed Oct 23, 2026

The price expired

A confirmed price is held for 2 minutes. If you waited longer, review the bid again to get a fresh price.

The amount left changed

Another bid was accepted while you were deciding, so less is left on the order. Review the bid again; you may need a smaller amount.

Amount or rate outside the order

  • The amount must be at least the order's minimum per bid and at most what is left.
  • The rate must be inside the seller's range.
  • Until your identity is verified, a bid can't be larger than the per-order limit shown under the amount. Verifying your identity lifts it.

Your account can't bid yet

Bidding needs a verified email and the current policies accepted. Your panel's checklist shows what is missing.

Other cases

  • You can't bid on your own order.
  • If the seller changed the terms, reconfirm your bid under the new version.
  • An order that is closed, filled or cancelled no longer takes bids.
