Shipping Guide

Everything you need to know about shipping with DHL Express on DropBid

For Sellers & For Buyers

DropBid uses DHL Express for international shipping. Below are instructions for both sellers and buyers.

For Sellers

1. Complete your profile

Before listing an item, add your full street address, city, postal code, and country to your profile. This is used as the DHL pickup address for all your shipments.

2. List the item

Enter accurate package weight (kg) and dimensions (cm) when creating your listing. These details determine the shipping cost estimate shown to buyers.

3. Item sold — create the shipment

Once a buyer wins and pays, go to My Listings and click Create DHL Shipment. The system automatically generates a DHL shipping label and tracking number.

4. Print the label

Download the PDF label from your listing. Print it and attach it securely to the outside of the package.

5. Book a DHL pickup

You must book the courier pickup yourself — the system does not auto-book a pickup. Schedule a pickup through DHL:

6. Or drop off at a DHL Service Point

If a courier pickup is not convenient, drop the labeled package at your nearest DHL Service Point:

7. Track the shipment & get paid

Tracking is automatic. The buyer receives status updates, and you receive your payout as soon as DHL confirms delivery — no action needed from you.

For Buyers

1. Win an auction & pay

Once you win an auction, proceed to checkout and pay. The DHL shipping cost is included in the total.

2. Enter your delivery address

Provide your full street address, postal code, city, and country at checkout. This is where DHL will deliver your item.

3. Track your order

You will receive email updates as the shipment moves. You can also track manually using the tracking number on the DHL tracking page:

4. Collect from a DHL Service Point

If you prefer to collect your package rather than receive home delivery, share the nearest Service Point with the seller:
