The Medbidding Approved label is added to the sales ads of products that have been physically checked by Medbidding engineers.

These products stand out on the platform and are listed as a priority. Since they have been checked and approved, these products are more reliable and are preferred by buyers. Since their technical checks have been done in advance, they can be delivered quickly. Thanks to the Medbidding Approved system, we are able to speed up sales by shortening operational processes.

In addition, the Medbidding Approved label is added to the product ads of our members registered in the Medbidding Supplier System and our partners in other countries.

There are three ad types on the Medbidding platform: Standard Product Ad (product at seller’s address, free listing), Approved Product Ad (product in our operation center, pre-inspected, featured, free listing), Starred Product Ad (product at seller’s address, paid promotion, seller info visible, direct contact).

Standard Product Ad: Standard products are located at the sellers’ addresses. After the buyer pays Medbidding, the seller ships the product to our operation center. After technical inspections are performed by our expert engineers, the product is delivered to the buyer. Free and unlimited listing duration.

Approved Product Ad: Approved products are in our operation centers. Technical inspections are already completed and ready for delivery. Featured on the platform and prioritized in search results. Free storage included. Can be delivered to the buyer immediately. Free and unlimited listing duration.

Starred Product Ad: Paid promotional service. The seller’s contact information (name, phone, email) is published on the ad page. Buyers contact sellers directly. Listed at the top of homepage, search results, and category pages. Technical inspection, delivery, and payment terms are based entirely on buyer-seller agreement.

The product location and delivery process vary by ad type. Standard products are with the seller; after payment, they come to our operation center for inspection, then are delivered to the buyer. Approved products are in our warehouses, ready for immediate delivery. Starred products allow buyers to contact sellers directly to discuss delivery details.

Standard Product Ad: The product is located at the seller’s address. After the buyer pays Medbidding, the seller ships the product to our operation center. Here, our engineers verify its technical condition. Once confirmed, it is delivered to the buyer. Delivery time varies by location and category.

Approved Product Ad: The product is located in our operation center in the relevant country. Since technical inspections are already complete, it is ready for immediate delivery after payment.

Starred Product Ad: The product is with the seller, and their contact details are visible. The buyer discusses price and delivery directly with the seller. Technical inspection and payment terms depend on the agreement between the parties. While Medbidding provides support upon request, the process is primarily between the buyer and the seller.

Shipping Terms: Shipping costs depend on location. For sales within Turkiye and countries with our operation centers: the seller pays shipping to the center, and the buyer pays from the center to their address. In countries without operation centers, remote inspection is performed via video call. The product ships directly from seller to buyer; the seller covers this shipping cost. Free shipping may be available in some categories.

In order to add a Medbidding Approved product ad to the platform, your device must be physically checked by our engineers. After adding the sales ad to the platform, you must bring the device yourself or deliver it to our store via a cargo company.

Your device is received by our engineers with a delivery report. It is kept in our warehouse to be sold on your behalf. After the device is checked, your ad is updated and you are informed.

Yes. We provide realistic price suggestions appropriate for the market for ads added to the Medbidding platform. This price analysis can only be performed after the ad has been added to the platform.

All ads added to our platform are regularly audited by our engineers. Through these audits, we prevent pricing that deviates from market realities, establishing a fair trading environment for both buyers and sellers. We strive to maintain prices within a reasonable range and ensure price stability.

If the price set by the seller is significantly above or below market value, our team contacts the seller to communicate the Recommended Medbidding Sales Price. This process is conducted to accelerate the sales process through accurate pricing. We provide realistic price suggestions appropriate for the market. We do not allow either the buyer or the seller to be disadvantaged regarding price.

For the security of our members, price suggestions are provided based strictly on the information detailed in the ad. We are unable to offer price suggestions before an ad is created on the platform.

The recommended Medbidding sales price is the price suggested by our engineers considering the market conditions, so that the products added to the Medbidding platform can be sold quickly. Recommended prices include Medbidding brokerage commission. We aim to maintain market prices thanks to the recommended Medbidding sales prices. Due to our responsibility in this regard, we cannot allow too low or too high prices. We protect the rights of buyers and sellers by trying to keep prices in a reasonable range.

Ads added are checked in detail by our engineers. If the price set by the seller is well below or above the market price, our engineers will contact the seller and report the recommended Medbidding sales price. This way we maintain market prices. We do not allow neither the seller nor the buyer to suffer from the price issue.

There are many factors that affect the sales speed of secondhand medical devices. The most important is the selling price. There are many price alternatives on the market. For this reason, if you determine the selling price of the device below the market price, the process can be accelerated. You can contact Medbidding engineers to get advice about the recommended Medbidding sales price.

There are no restrictions on individuals, companies, institutions, organizations, or countries on the Medbidding platform. You can sign up as an individual or a corporate member. Memberships can be made, bids can be placed, and sales ads can be added from any country. The following people can use the Medbidding platform as both buyers and sellers:

Owners of defective medical devices
Medical device users
Patients and their relatives

Insurance company, assistance company, and health tourism company officials

National and international options such as bank transfer, credit card, Western Union, and cryptocurrency are available for payments.

Under the Secure Payment System, payment is made to Medbidding at the time of order. Cash on delivery is not available. In Starred Product ads, payment terms depend directly on the agreement between the buyer and the seller.

For credit card payments, the product to be purchased must be eligible for this payment method. You can contact us to check eligibility. Within Turkiye, installments up to 12 months are available on credit cards. Interest applies to installment payments made by credit card. Installment options may vary depending on whether the credit card is commercial or personal.

For sales completed via the Medbidding Secure Payment System, the commission fee is applied as 20% of the sales price, excluding taxes, and is deducted from the seller. No commission fee is deducted for Starred Product ads.

The commission is calculated based on the final agreed sales price, not the list price in the ad. For example, if a product listed at 1,500 USD is sold for 1,200 USD after negotiation, the commission is calculated on 1,200 USD. In this case, the deduction amount would be 1,200 x 0.20 = 240 USD, and the payment made to the seller would be 960 USD, excluding taxes.

In Starred Product ads, since the buyer contacts the seller directly and completes the payment outside the platform, Medbidding does not charge any commission for these transactions.

The Starred Product feature is a paid promotional service that allows an ad to stand out among thousands of options on the platform.

The most important advantage of the service is that it allows buyers to reach the seller directly. The seller’s contact information (name, phone, e-mail) is published on the product page. In this way, potential buyers can reach the relevant seller without intermediaries, the communication process is shortened, and sales accelerate significantly.

These ads are listed at the very top of the home page, search results, and category lists.

A Starred Product indicates that the seller uses a paid promotional service to highlight that product.

The distinguishing feature of these ads is that the Seller Information box is active on the product detail page. Buyers can contact the seller directly using the phone and e-mail information in this area, ask questions, and make offers. Buyers can shop directly with the sellers of such ads.

The purchased Starred Product ad package remains valid for the preferred package duration (e.g., 30 days, 60 days). This period starts the moment the service is activated.

When the package period expires, the ad automatically reverts to standard status, and the Seller Information box containing the seller’s contact details is removed from the page. A new package can be purchased to extend the duration.

The standard duration of the service may vary by category. The standard package duration is 60 days; however, 30-day packages are also available in some categories. In some cases, an additional 5 or 15 days of free time may be provided by Medbidding in addition to the standard duration. You can contact the Medbidding team to request free additional time.

The Starred Product service is a premium feature that offers sellers the privilege of highlighting their ads and directly publishing their contact information. This transparency helps the seller prove their reliability while allowing buyers to contact the seller directly.

In other ad types, the seller’s contact information is kept private.

Yes. The Starred Product service is valid across all language options on our platform.

Our system is quite intelligent in this regard. When you purchase the service, the Starred Product feature automatically activates in all language versions of your ad. This way, you can easily reach international buyers.

The expiration of a Starred Product period is understood by the disappearance of the yellow label on the ad and the Seller Information box.

The process is entirely automatic. When a Starred Product ad expires, it is converted to a standard ad type by the system. With this conversion, the Seller Information box on the product page disappears, and the ad reverts to its normal appearance. This process is performed automatically by the system every day.

Yes. Existing ads with standard status can be upgraded to Starred Product status at any time.

No. The Starred Product service is valid for only a single ad, and the remaining time cannot be transferred to another ad.

The service package is defined by the ID number of the ad. If the ad is sold before the package period expires (e.g., on the 3rd day), it indicates that the service has successfully achieved its purpose. In this case, the remaining time (e.g., 27 days) cannot be frozen, refunded, or transferred to another product ad.

No. Cancellation or refund is not possible from the moment the payment is made for the Starred Product promotion package.

Since the Starred Product service is a digital service performed immediately, no cancellation or refund is made. As soon as the payment is made, your ad is highlighted, and your contact information becomes accessible. Even if the service period (e.g., 30 days) continues, the visibility and data sharing advantage provided by the service is considered used immediately. Therefore, the refund procedure is not applied after the purchase transaction.

The Secure Payment System is a free payment infrastructure that operates on an escrow account model, protecting the rights of both the buyer and the seller. The buyer sends payment to Medbidding rather than directly to the seller; once the product is inspected and delivered to the buyer, the payment is transferred to the seller. This way, both your money and your product are protected under the Medbidding guarantee.

The system works in five steps: The buyer pays Medbidding → the seller ships the product to our operation center → our engineers inspect the product → the product is delivered to the buyer → the payment is transferred to the seller 7 business days later.

Payment Stage: The buyer pays Medbidding via methods such as bank transfer, credit card, Western Union, or cryptocurrency. Payment is sent not directly to the seller but to the Secure Payment System’s escrow account.

Technical Inspection: Our expert engineers inspect the product in detail. Its compliance with the specifications listed in the ad, whether it is in working condition, and its accessories are checked.

Payment Transfer: The payment is transferred to the seller 7 business days after the product is delivered to the buyer, with a 20% commission fee (excluding taxes) deducted from the sale price.

Throughout the entire process, written or verbal confirmation is obtained from both parties. The Secure Payment System is a standard safeguard mechanism offered by Medbidding. No additional fee is charged for this service. In Starred Product ads, however, this system does not apply; payment and delivery terms are arranged directly between the buyer and the seller.

No. Cash on delivery is not available on the Medbidding platform. Under the Secure Payment System, payments are made to Medbidding at the time of order. National and international options such as bank transfer, credit card, Western Union, and cryptocurrency are available for payments.

The Secure Payment System is a standard safeguard mechanism offered by Medbidding. It is designed to protect the rights of both the buyer and the seller. The buyer sends payment to Medbidding rather than directly to the seller. The payment is transferred to the seller 7 business days after the product is delivered to the buyer. This way, both your money and your product are protected under the Medbidding guarantee.

In Starred Product ads, however, payment and delivery terms are arranged directly between the buyer and the seller.

The shipping process consists of two stages: the seller covers shipping costs from their address to our operation center, while the buyer covers costs from the operation center to their address. The entire process is coordinated by our team, and the buyer is notified as soon as the shipment is dispatched.

From Seller to Operation Center: When a product is sold, our team contacts the seller. The seller can deliver the product to our operation center in person or ship it via a cargo company. Shipping costs at this stage are the seller’s responsibility. Our team can suggest the most suitable option through our partner cargo companies.

From Operation Center to Buyer: Once the technical inspection is complete, the product is shipped to the buyer. Shipping costs at this stage are the buyer’s responsibility. Free shipping may be available in some categories.

Large and Heavy Devices: For products that cannot be shipped via standard cargo, freight shipping services are used. In such cases, the process and costs are communicated to the buyer in advance.

International Sales: In countries where we do not have an operation center, technical inspection is conducted via video call and the product is shipped directly from the seller to the buyer. In this case, shipping costs are the seller’s responsibility.

Packaging: Proper packaging is critical to prevent damage during shipping. For large devices, we strongly recommend using the most protective packaging available.

Yes, you can pay with a credit card on the Medbidding platform. Credit cards offer installment options of up to 12 months; however, interest is applied to installment transactions.

For payments made by credit card, the product being purchased must be eligible for this payment method. You can contact us to learn which products accept credit card payments.

Installment options may vary depending on whether your credit card is commercial or personal. The bank installment table can be found under the “PAYMENT” tab on each listing; we recommend reviewing this table before making a payment.

Yes, if a defect is found in a secondhand medical device that is no longer under warranty, we can offer paid technical service and repair, where appropriate.

Defect Detection During Inspection: When the product arrives at our operation center, it undergoes a detailed technical inspection by our expert engineers. If a defect not disclosed in the ad is found during this inspection, we notify you and assess whether the repair can be carried out.

Evaluation Based on Device Type: Repair availability depends on the device’s brand, model, spare part availability, and the nature of the defect; therefore, we may not be able to offer repair for every device. Whether the service is possible becomes clear only after our team examines the device.

Repair Process: If the repair is possible and you approve it, the work is carried out for a fee and the device is made ready for sale in working condition. If the repair is not possible or you prefer not to proceed, the device is returned to you upon request; in this case, shipping costs are your responsibility.
