# Offers and bids

> Bidding on a whole collection or one specific NFT.

An offer is a standing bid with the money already set aside. There are two
kinds.

|                | Collection offer           | Offer on one NFT |
| -------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Applies to     | Anything in the collection | That NFT only    |
| Who can accept | Any holder                 | Whoever holds it |
| How many       | Can be several             | One              |

Naming a specific NFT makes it an NFT offer; leaving it off makes it a
collection offer. They're separate — a collection offer doesn't show up when
someone looks at offers on a single token, and vice versa.

## What you put up as a bidder

You set aside the full amount you'd pay, which is more than your bid:

```
what you set aside = your bid + the platform fee + the creator royalty
```

| Chain  | Platform fee |
| ------ | ------------ |
| Solana | 3.0%         |
| EVM    | 2.0%         |

The royalty is the collection's own. Where a collection hasn't set a valid one,
8% is used as a fallback — that's a backstop for missing data, not a standard
rate.

## Accepting one

If you hold something an offer covers, accept it from the token's page. The
money settles to you and the NFT goes to the bidder.

A collection offer for several NFTs gets used up one at a time. The rest stays
live.

## Expiry and getting your money back

Offers expire. When one does without being accepted, the money you set aside is
refunded automatically.

This is the usual explanation for outbound SOL from the platform wallet that
looks unexplained on an explorer — the escrow and treasury share an address.

## Cancelling

Cancel any unaccepted offer and take your money back. We check it hasn't already
been accepted before releasing.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="My collection offer isn't showing on a token I expected">
    Check the token really is in that collection as we have it recorded. Something
    indexed under a different collection record won't match.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is more money held than I bid?">
    Because accepting your offer triggers fees, and those are covered up front so
    an acceptance can't fail for lack of funds. The seller gets your bid; the rest
    is fees.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I bid on a collection that's only listed on Magic Eden or Tensor?">
    You can offer on anything we index, wherever its listings live. Whether a
    holder sees it is another matter — someone who only uses the other
    marketplace won't.
