Deposit Policy


This Deposit Policy applies to all deposit-backed auctions on AYLENSALE operated by AYLENSALE LTD.


1. Purpose of deposits

Deposits confirm serious bidding intent, reduce time-wasting, and protect sellers and the marketplace from failed completion.


2. When a deposit is required

Sellers may require a deposit for auctions. The deposit amount and currency (GBP) are shown before you pay.


3. Payment and holding

Deposits are paid through our approved payment provider. Funds are held according to auction outcome and applicable law. AYLENSALE LTD does not treat user deposits as client money unless separately agreed in writing.


4. Winner outcome

If you win an auction, your deposit may be retained and applied toward completion obligations or forfeiture if you fail to complete in accordance with Auction Terms.


5. Non-winner outcome

If you do not win, your deposit becomes eligible for refund subject to verification, fraud checks, and submission of a valid refund request where required.


6. Forfeiture

Deposits may be forfeited for no-pay, fraudulent conduct, chargebacks, policy breaches, or failure to complete a won auction.


7. Refunds

Refund requests are processed under our Refund Policy. One refund request per deposit unless otherwise required by law.


8. B2B and B2C

Business users acknowledge deposits are commercial risk tools. Consumer users retain applicable statutory protections.
