Duplicate Listings

In order to alleviate number inflating, listings may be duplicated two (2) times only. If you have more duplicate items to list, please put them in a dutch auction listing.

Listing Items

To list your item simply click on the Sell link found on the header navigational bar. The listing process is split up into several main sections, notably:-

• Category selection
• Item Details
• Auction Settings
• Shipping and Payment
• Listing preview
• Listing confirmation

The listing process is developed in such a way that you are guided through every step seamlessly.

1) The first part of the process is to choose the category you wish to list your item in, this can be revised at any time by using the Previous Step navigation button.

2) Step two enables you to enter your item title and description, a full wysiwyg editor is in place to enable you to use HTML descriptions.

If you have a voucher code to redeem this can be entered just below the description field.

3) Moving on to step three, this is the biggest stage of the listing process. On this step you can set the following:-

· Auction type:-

· Currency:-

You can select your preferred auction currency using the drop down menu available

· Quantity:-

This field is only active if listing a Dutch auction, please see above for an explanation of this listing type

· Auction Starts At:-

This requires you to enter the minimum bid you are willing to accept, you can also set a reserve price to ensure you do not sell the item for this amount. Please see below for more information on this.

· Reserve Price:-

Enabling a reserve price affectively means you will not sell the item for less than the amount set, for example you can set the start price at 5.00 but only accept winning bids over 50.00, should a bid be placed for 49.99 the item will close without a winner.

· Get It Now (if available):-

Get It Now allows you to set an amount you are willing to sell the item for – straight out. For example you can set the start price to 10.00 but offer interested parties the option to buy the item immediately for 100.00.

You can also list Get It Now only auctions, these auctions remove all bidding options meaning the listing can only be purchased for a set amount. To set a Get It Now only auction you need to set the buy out value to be exactly equal with the start bid.

· Bid increment:-

This option can be used to set your own custom bid increment if preferred.

· Item featuring (if available):-

The following options are available to you (fees may apply), these will highlight your item on site to ensure they reach more visitors:-

§ Home page featured

§ Category featured

§ Bold text

§ Highlighted background

· Auction Duration:-

You can choose the number of days you want your auction to be listed from the dropdown list.

· Private Auction:-

Private auction will hide the bidders identity on the item details page

· Image upload:-

To accompany your item you can either upload images from your local computer or enter the URL of an image(s) hosted elsewhere

· Auto Re-List

For convenience you can opt to have your items automatically re-listed for you, options are available to allow you to select whether the item should be re-listed if sold and how many re-list attempts should be made. Items may be re-listed up to six (6) times.

4) On the next step you can set your shipping and payment preferences including your shipping rates and available methods of delivery.

5) Proceeding on, you can then review the listing and make changes if required, please note you can still edit your listing once live via the members area.

Placing a bid on an item you are interested in couldn’t be easier, when viewing the item details page you will have two areas from where you can place your bid, one next to the item details and a second at the bottom of the page.

To place your bid simply enter the amount you wish to bid e.g. 50.00. Please note no currency symbols are required. The bid will be placed in the auction currency.

Once done you will be asked to review your bid and you will also be able to view vital item details such as the shipping conditions before confirming your bid. To submit your bid simply press the Place Bid button.

If your bid is high enough to take the lead in the auction a confirmation message will be displayed to you, however if your bid has not taken the lead be it due to a higher proxy bid or not meeting the reserve price you will be invited to make a further bid.

Should you decide to retract your bid this can be done via the Current Bids section of the member’s area.

You can also place a proxy bid, proxy bidding allows you to place your “High Bid”. At all times you will only pay the lowest required bid should you win the auction. For example, if the current bid on an auction is 500.00 you can place a proxy bid of 2,000. Should you remain the only bidder you will only pay 500.00. However should the item receive other bids the site will automatically re-bid for you (up to 2,000 in this scenario) to ensure you remain in the lead.

When a bid is placed on an item that has more than three (3) days remaining, the duration for that item will change to three (3) days.

If the option is available you can use Get It Now to purchase the item immediately without having to place a bid. Some sellers offer such an option which can be used at any time until a bid has been placed over any applicable reserve price.

The Get It Now option will appear on the item details page, you will be asked to confirm your intention to buy the item before it ends. Get It Now buys cannot be retracted.
