💳 Why Some Charges Appear as “Recurring” on Bank Statements

If a bidder reaches out wondering why their charge looks “recurring” on their bank statement, here’s what’s happening — and why it’s nothing to worry about. Stripe, our payment processor, marks certain transactions this way for security and convenience.

🔁 What “Recurring” Really Means

When a bidder sees “recurring” next to their charge, it doesn’t mean they’ve signed up for a subscription or that they’ll be charged again automatically.

• Stripe flags some charges as recurring to allow secure storage of card details.

• This allows bidders to check out quickly without re-entering their CVC code every time.

• The “recurring” label is about how the card data is handled, not the frequency of billing.
