Non-Payment If the winning bidder fails to pay for an item within the specified timeframe, SEUYCO reserves the right to cancel the sale and offer the item to the next highest bidder or re-list it in a future auction. Non-payment will result in a dispute filed against the winning bidder. A dispute filed against you creates a permanent mark on your account and notifies other sellers of the non-payment. If you receive two or more disputes, your account will be suspended, and you will no longer be able to bid on LiveAuctioneers' platform until all unpaid disputes are resolved. 9.
