Acceptance

Bids may purchase in Sri Lankan Rupees and charging take place based on the subscribed package on auto renewal basis (fallback charging applicable) and Rs.2+tax for extra bid if paid by mobile phone. You must ensure you have the bill payer's permission before entering Our Reverse Auction.
