How To Bid?
If you've identified an item you want to bid on, you can quickly and easily place a bid by following these steps:
- Log in to your account. If you haven't registered, you can do so within 5 minutes.
- Visit the auction page.
- Towards the bottom of the auction description page, you will see a "bidding box". You can use the shortcut link to the bidding box if you wish.
- Enter your bid. Note that you must bid above the minimum bid required.
- Click on the "place bid" button.
- You will then be asked to confirm your bid. Once you've done so, your bid will be entered. If successful, you'll receive a confirmation message. If your bid fails to outbid the current high bidder, you'll be offered the option to place a higher bid.
Proxy bidding can increase your chances of winning an auction and help prevent you from being outbid at the last moment. To place a proxy bid, enter the maximum price you're willing to pay for the item. If another user places a bid on the same auction, automatic bids will be placed on your behalf according to your maximum bid amount. With proxy bidding, you'll pay the lowest possible price until someone else places a higher bid.
There's another way of bidding: Buy it now auctions. Buy it now prices are set by the seller. If you agree with that price, you can click on the "Buy Now" button displayed on the auction details page. After clicking on the button, you'll be redirected to a confirmation page. On a standard auction, the auction will end instantly as the item has been sold via Buy it now. On a Dutch auction, you can enter the number of items you wish to buy (depending on the quantity available). If you purchase fewer than the total available, the auction will remain open with the number of items left available after your purchase.
How To Sell?
If you want to sell items through the site, you'll need to sign up for an account. To do so, click on the "Register" link at the top of this page. Only users over 16 years old are eligible to register.
After registering, click on the "Sell" link, which will redirect you to your account page. You can then choose whether to create an auction or a classified listing. The site has a main category page, which can help ease the subcategory selection process. No items can be sold by selecting only the main category. You'll need to choose a subcategory.
Next, enter the auction details, settings, payment methods available, and choose your media. You can post ten images or five video links for free, but you can add ten additional pictures for $0.20 each.
On the Auction Settings tab, choose the auction type, start price, whether to activate buy now or set a reserve price, and the type of bid increment to use. You can choose the progressive one implemented into the site (which can be edited from the admin area) or a custom one. If you choose the custom one, you'll need to enter an increment value.
You can also choose whether to feature the item and the duration of the auction. After setting the location, shipping, payment, and subcategory, click on the "Next Step" button to review the auction before submitting. If everything is in order, click on the "Submit" button, and you'll be redirected to the payment page or a confirmation page if no fees are required. The auction is activated once payment is confirmed by the payment gateway or instantly if no fees need to be paid.
Registration:
Registration is simple and takes only a few minutes. To start the signup process, click on the "Register" link at the top of this page. Make sure to fill. To begin the registration process, click on the "register" link at the top of this page. Registration is a straightforward process that only takes a few minutes.
