Faster and Easier Payments for Maryland Surplus Property Online Auctions - GovDeals

State of Maryland GovDeals Customer: The Maryland Department of General Services (DGS) is improving the way buyers pay for surplus property purchased through the GovDeals online auction platform. Starting September 8, 2025, all payments will be processed directly through GovDeals' Financial Settlement Services (FSS). This change eliminates delays and creates a faster, smoother experience for buyers. What This Means for You: No More Delays – Pay online immediately after winning an auction. More Ways to Pay – Credit card, PayPal, or wire transfer for purchases over $5,000. Faster Pick-Ups – Once payment is confirmed, you can schedule pick-up right away. Industry Standard Security – Payments processed through GovDeals' PCI-compliant system. Simplified Process – All invoices, receipts, and confirmations come directly from GovDeals. Key Benefits: ✅ Quicker payment confirmations ✅ Reduced wait times for wire instructions ✅ Improved customer service and faster release of items ✅ Transparent, secure, and convenient payment system What's Changing: Buyers will no longer receive invoices via email or make payments directly to DGS. All payments must be submitted online through GovDeals before items can be released. Payment confirmations and instructions will come from GovDeals—not DGS. What to Do Next: Nothing is required on your part! Simply continue bidding on surplus property through GovDeals.com/mdgs  as usual. When you win, you'll follow the updated payment instructions on the GovDeals platform. We appreciate your continued participation in Maryland's Surplus Property Online Auction Program and look forward to providing a smoother, faster, and more convenient experience.
