B-Stock Credit Guide

How to view and use your Multi-Currency credits

With marketplaces around the world, buyers on B-Stock are often dealing with foreign currencies when paying for auctions located overseas. Occasionally, B-Stock will issue an account credit to a buyer based on the currency of the respective auction.

This guide is to help you check your B-Stock Credit and show you how to apply it to unpaid orders.


 

On the Order Details page, you will now see a My B-Stock Credits section.

No B-Stock Credits

  • If you don‘t have any B-Stock credits to apply to your order, you will see this message underneath the “My B-Stock Credits section”.

Applied B-Stock Credits

  • After you select Redeem Credits and B-Stock has successfully processed the payment, any remaining B-Stock Credit will be updated in real-time. (There may be a delay of up to 15 minutes as our accounting system updates your B-Stock credits.) Note: Once any portion of your credits have been applied, it cannot be undone.
My Orders Balance Button

To apply any remaining B-Stock Credits to another unpaid order, navigate to the Order Details page for the next order that you want to pay.

Again, go to the My B-Stock Credits section to see your updated credits.

If the order is eligible for payment with your remaining B-Stock credits, you will see the Redeem Credits button.

Click the Redeem Credits button to apply your credit and view the updated order total.

  • If you do not have B-Stock credits in the currency the winning auction was listed in, the “Redeem Credits” button will be greyed out and you will be unable to select the credits.
  • A B-Stock Credit can only be applied in whole amounts. See the below examples for different scenarios and how they may apply when using your B-Stock Credits.

    Example #1

    If you have $1000 in B-Stock Credits and an unpaid order for $500 that you‘d like to pay for with your credits, you do not have the option to apply any amount of your credits less than $500. If you select Redeem Credits for the order, B-Stock will apply $500 from your credits, leaving you with $500 remaining credits.

    Example #2

    If you have B-Stock Credits of $1000 and an unpaid order of $5000, you can select Redeem Credits and B-Stock will apply your full balance to the order. The unpaid amount due for that order will be updated to $4000, payable via the standard B-Stock payment methods.

  • Orders that don‘t allow the use of B-Stock Credits:You may see a grayed out “Redeem Credits” button for an order because that seller has made a business decision not to enable order payments using B-Stock Credits.
