PAYMENT METHODS:
Accepted payment methods include Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
SETTLEMENT ISSUANCE:
Initial settlements, which state the winning bid amount for each lot and the buyer premium charge (before shipping & handling or applicable storage fee charges), are emailed to the winning bidder within 24 hours of the auction closing.
Bidder's are accountable for verifying the accuracy of their provided email address. Montana Pickin' holds no responsibility for undelivered settlement emails. In the event a winning bidder does not receive their initial settlement after the 24-hour mark, it is their responsibility to contact Montana Pickin'.
Buyers have 36 hours following the auction’s closing to report errors or disputes on the initial settlement. Failure to do within the outlined time frame will waive the buyer’s right to contest the settlement.
Following the full payment of charges listed in the initial settlement, a second settlement containing shipping, handling, and any applicable storage fees will be emailed to the buyer. Montana Pickin' will not entertain disputes concerning the fees outlined in the second settlement.
A third and final settlement will be emailed once the applicable charges on the second settlement have been paid in full, indicating a zero balance. Following the issuance of the final settlement, lot(s) will be promptly shipped.
PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS:
If no errors or disputes are reported concerning the initial settlement, or if 36 hours have passed since the auction's close, the card on file will be charged.
In the event of declined cards, the buyer will be contacted for an alternative payment method. Failure to provide an alternative card with sufficient funds will result in the immediate forfeiture of the item(s). It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure that their card on file has adequate funds. Please refer to 'Payment Failure Consequences' for more details.
Following the calculation of shipping and handling, or any applicable storage fees, a second settlement will be emailed to the buyer. Upon sending the email with the second settlement, the card on file will be charged accordingly. A third and final settlement will then be emailed to the buyer. The conditions for a declined card are applicable to the second settlement as well.
Lot(s), whether requiring in-person pick-up or shipping, will be made available or shipped upon reaching a zero balance in the final settlement.
Please reference ‘Auction Details’ ?? ‘Shipping and Pickup’ for terms and conditions regarding shipping/pickup.
