Platform Guide · Updated June 30, 2026
A complete, plain-language guide to how Bangladesh's Hushburg marketplace works: real BDT auctions, free HBT training auctions, escrow-protected shopping, seller panels, the wallet, and the affiliate program.
What is Hushburg? Hushburg is an online marketplace based in Chittagong, Bangladesh, that combines escrow-protected e-commerce with live "highest unique bid" auctions. Shoppers buy fixed-price products from verified sellers, or join real-money BDT auctions to win products for far less than retail. New users can also practice in free HBT training auctions before ever spending real money. Hushburg runs on web and a dedicated Android app.
Hushburg is a multi-category online marketplace where people shop, bid, and sell from one app. It was built around a simple idea: shopping should feel safe and also feel like an event. Every transaction, whether it's a fixed-price purchase or an auction win, is protected by Hushburg's escrow system, which holds payment until the buyer confirms their order has arrived.
The platform serves both everyday shoppers and small business owners. Categories on Hushburg include electronics, phones, groceries, vehicles & parts, furniture, fashion, pet supplies, and DIY items, sold either at a fixed price in the Hushburg Store or through live auctions.
Hushburg's Store works like a standard online marketplace. Shoppers search or browse listings, check stock and view counts, and check out securely. Funds are held in escrow and only released to the seller once the order is confirmed received, which protects both sides of the transaction.
Hushburg runs two distinct kinds of live auction, and the difference matters: one uses real currency for real products, the other uses Hushburg's in-app currency purely to teach new users how bidding works.
Live auctions for genuine, deliverable products, paid for in real Bangladeshi Taka.
Practice auctions that use HBT, Hushburg's in-app currency, instead of real money.
Both auction formats are straightforward bidding systems with fixed rules, not games of chance. In real BDT auctions, security deposits are never lost outright; they are only ever applied toward a product the user actually wins and receives.
Auction availability changes throughout the day. Open the Hushburg app or visit the Auctions tab on hushburg.com to see real-time seat availability, current bid entries, and countdown timers for every live room.
HBT is Hushburg's in-app currency. It is not a substitute for cash and is not sold for money; it is earned through activity inside the app and spent on specific in-app utility.
Seller Panel subscriptions can be paid with earned HBT or through Google Play's in-app billing system, whichever the user prefers.
Every Hushburg account includes a wallet that tracks top-ups, spending, refunds, and affiliate earnings in one place. Real BDT balances can be withdrawn directly to local payment methods.
| Withdrawal Method | Type |
|---|---|
| bKash | Mobile banking |
| Nagad | Mobile banking |
| Rocket | Mobile banking |
| City Bank, BRAC Bank, Bank Asia, and others | Bank transfer |
Full transaction history, including auction deposits and refunds, is available under Shopping History and Wallet & Transactions in the app.
Hushburg offers four types of Seller Panel, letting businesses list and manage products or services directly inside the platform.
Sellers can pay their one-time Seller Panel fee using HBT or AED (via Google Play in-app billing), depending on their region and preference.
Beyond shopping and auctions, Hushburg offers bookable digital services, starting with photo studio sessions, with more service categories planned. Service bookings follow the same escrow protection as Store purchases.
Hushburg's affiliate program lets users earn by referring friends to the platform. Referral activity, along with earnings, is tracked transparently in the wallet's transaction reports alongside top-ups, spending, and refunds.
Hushburg is built around verifiable trust signals rather than blind buyer confidence:
No. Hushburg's auctions are fixed-rule "highest unique bid" auctions, not games of chance. There is no cash prize and no chance-based payout. In real BDT auctions, the security deposit is fully refundable if a user does not win, and is only ever applied toward a product the user actually receives.
BDT auctions use real Bangladeshi Taka for real, deliverable products, with a non-refundable seat booking fee and a refundable security deposit. HBT auctions use Hushburg's in-app currency instead of real money and exist to help new users learn how bidding works; items won are claimed in person at a Hushburg marketing booth rather than shipped.
No. Joining requires a small seat booking fee plus a security deposit based on the offer amount, not the full bid value. If the user wins, the deposit is applied toward the final payment and delivery fee.
No, the seat booking fee is non-refundable, since it covers the cost of joining the live auction room. The separate security deposit, however, is fully refundable if the user does not win.
Non-winning security deposits in BDT auctions are refunded within 6 to 24 hours.
HBT is Hushburg's in-app currency. It can be used to apply discounts on Store purchases, join free HBT training auctions, and pay for Seller Panel subscriptions (Store, Food, Auction, or Service Provider).
HBT is earned by playing the daily tap-to-earn mini game in the app, completing daily tasks, and adding Store products to the Interest List.
HBT is an in-app currency used for discounts, training auctions, and Seller Panel subscriptions; it is not a cash-equivalent withdrawal balance. Real BDT wallet balances, separate from HBT, can be withdrawn to bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or supported banks.
Users apply for a Seller Panel (Store, Food, Auction, or Service Provider) inside the app, pay the one-time panel fee using HBT or Google Play in-app billing, and receive a Blue Tick Verified badge once approved.
Hushburg supports withdrawals to bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and several banks including City Bank, BRAC Bank, and Bank Asia.
Hushburg is based in Chittagong, Bangladesh, and primarily serves the Bangladeshi market, with Seller Panel pricing also listed in AED for relevant regions.
All Store and service purchases use Hushburg's escrow system, which holds payment until the buyer confirms the order has been received, rather than releasing funds to the seller immediately.
Compliance note: Hushburg follows Google Play policy. Hushburg is not a gambling platform: there is no cash prize and no chance-based payout. Real BDT auctions involve a non-refundable seat booking fee and a fully refundable security deposit, used only toward a product the user actually wins. HBT training auctions use Hushburg's in-app currency, not real money, and are for learning purposes only, with items claimed in person at marketing booths.
