BUYING ON ELRAPI

From Browsing to Delivery

Each step is designed to make the bidding and purchasing process clear before you commit to a transaction.

Find a Lot

Browse active auctions and open any lot to review its photos, description, pedigree, location, current bid, Buy Now price when available, and remaining time.

Review Before You Commit

Check the band number, seller or loft, pigeon information, bidding history and marketplace details before placing a bid or choosing Buy Now.

Sign In & Get Approved

Bidding requires an ELRAPI account with a verified payment method and marketplace approval. This helps protect buyers, sellers and the integrity of the bidding system.

Place a Bid or Set a Maximum

Submit the next valid bid manually or set a private maximum bid. ELRAPI can automatically increase your visible bid only as needed, using the lot’s configured increments.

Win the Auction

When the countdown reaches zero, the highest valid bidder wins. Lots with an available Buy Now option may also be purchased immediately at the displayed Buy Now price.

Complete Payment

The winning buyer completes the required payment for the lot and any applicable transaction, shipping or delivery charges shown during the transaction process.

Shipping & Completion

The seller ships only after payment is confirmed and provides the required shipping or delivery information. The transaction is then completed according to ELRAPI marketplace policies.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

A Structured Marketplace Process

ELRAPI brings the important parts of a racing pigeon transaction together: seller identity, lot information, bidding, Buy Now, payment status, shipping information and transaction records.

Clear Lot Details Review the pigeon, seller, pedigree, photos and auction information before taking action.

Safer Bidding Flow Bid and Buy Now actions use confirmation steps to reduce accidental purchases or unintended bids.

Private Maximum Bidding Your maximum bid stays private. ELRAPI raises the visible bid only when needed under the configured bid increments.

Payment Before Shipping Sellers should not ship until the required payment has been confirmed for the transaction.

SELLING ON ELRAPI

Listing a Pigeon Is Simple

Approved users can buy and sell. There is no separate seller membership required.

Add Your Lot

Set the Starting Price

The Starting Price should be the minimum amount you are willing to accept. Buy Now can be added as an optional immediate-purchase price.

Publish & Sell
