Your Account Information, Password and Security

In the course of your use of our Website or Services, we may ask you for certain information, including your name, email address, mailing address and credit card information (collectively, “Account Information). If you open an account or commence any transaction of business at or on this Website, you may be required to complete the registration process by providing certain additional information and registering a username and password. Your Account Information must be up-to-date and accurate at all times. Should your information change, you must update it in your user profile. Please see our FAQs for more information on how to update your information. You agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of your Account Information.

You agree to: (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security; and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each Website session. Consistent with and without limiting the scope of provisions limiting liability elsewhere in this Agreement, in no event will Goodwill be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever resulting from the disclosure of your username and/or password or your failure to comply with this section. You may not use another persons account at any time, without the express permission of the account holder.

Auction Bidding and Buying; Non-Paying Bidders

New bidders (buyers with user accounts less than 30 days old) will be restricted to participating in no more than 15 active auctions at one time. As a bidder, if you have the highest bid at the end of the auction period, at or above the minimum bid price (or in the case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), and your bid is accepted by the seller, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances (e.g., the seller materially changes the description of the item after your bid, clear typographical errors, or when the bidder cannot authenticate the identity of the seller). Bid manipulation is strictly prohibited. In other words, you may not bid in a way that pushes other bidders to their maximum bid, retract your original high bid, and re-bid at a small increment above the legitimate high bidder.

A Non-Paying Bidder is a person who wins the auction through the bidding process but does not follow through with the transaction and instead fails to fulfill his or her obligation to purchase the item(s) he or she won through the bidding process. The seller community of our Website is committed to notifying our staff regarding any Non-Paying Bidder. We take these situations very seriously and will record, monitor, suspend or ban any Non-Paying Bidder, or take other appropriate disciplinary, investigative or legal action, in our sole and absolute discretion.

Product Availability and Pricing

The inclusion of any products or Services on this Website at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or Services will be available at any time. Products may be out-of-stock, discontinued, or subject to other action by the seller. Prices are quoted in U.S. dollars, are effective for U.S. purchases only, and are subject to change at any time. Discounts are limited time offers and may not be combined with any other offers. Goodwill reserves the right to limit the quantities of any products or Services that we offer through this Website at its sole discretion. For information on shipping, please see our Shipping Policy.

Product Images, Content and Specifications

All features, content, specifications, products and prices of products and Services described or depicted on this Website are subject to change at any time without notice. All product descriptions provided by the seller are approximate and are provided for convenience only. We make all reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our products, including the applicable colors; however, the actual color you see will depend on your computer system and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors.

Pre-paid and gift card credit cards must have a verifiable billing address associated with them and a 3-digit security code on the back of the card to be used to pay for purchases on our Website. If your card does not have a verifiable billing address or a 3-digit security code, you will need to contact the card-issuer for instructions on how to enable the card to be used to pay for items on our Website.

If you are unable to activate the card for online purchases, you will need to use a standard Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card. Please check the item listing page carefully for payment methods accepted by the seller of the item.
