How to Register & Bid on Auctions.com.my: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide
Participating in an online auction on Auctions.com.my / ebid.auctions.com.my requires completing registration, verifying your identity, depositing the required funds, and then bidding on the scheduled date. Below is a clear workflow based on the online T&C and bidding rules used for PAH auctions (which also apply to this platform) — designed to help you participate confidently and correctly.
Step 1: Register Your Online Account
Visit ebid.auctions.com.my
Create a user profile using a valid email and your personal details (name, ID/passport, contact info).
Ensure the information is accurate — registration is verified against real identity documentation.
Your registration may take 1–2 working days for approval.
You only need to register once for future auctions.
Why it matters: Registered and verified bidders are legally eligible to bid online. Unverified users will not be permitted to place bids.
Step 2: Upload Required Documents
Prepare and upload:
Identity document (NRIC / passport)
Company documents (for corporate bidders)
Proof of deposit payment (see next step)
This is done within your online profile before the auction.
Step 3: Make the Deposit
Before you can bid on a property or vehicle:
Pay the required deposit (often 10% of the reserve price) — exact amount is in the Conditions of Sale for each lot.
Use the payment method specified in that lot’s proclamation (bank transfer to the account stated).
Upload your deposit payment evidence as part of registration.
Attention: The deposit must clear at least 1 working day before auction day.
Step 4: Check Lot Details
After verified:
Browse properties/vehicles available on the auction
Read the full Proclamation of Sale and Conditions of Sale — these form the legal basis of your bid.
Make sure you understand liabilities (e.g. outstanding charges, fees).
Step 5: Bid During the Live Auction
Log in 15–30 minutes before start.
Enter the auction room for your registered lot.
Place bids using the online interface as prices are called.
The system typically shows bid increments and statuses live.
Note: If only one bidder registers, the lot may start at the reserve price.
Step 6: After Winning the Auction
You may receive notification via email/web.
You must sign the Memorandum of Contract within the timeline (e.g., 3 working days).
Pay any differential if your winning price exceeds the deposit amount.
Balance of purchase price is usually due within a set period (e.g., 90 days).
Failure to comply could result in deposit forfeiture and cancellation.
Key Reminder
Accurate registration, early deposit, and understanding the Conditions of Sale are essential — especially because online bidding is legally binding once placed.
