On a Dutch Auction, the auctioneer has more items of the same product for sale.
The bidder will enter a maximum bid he is willing to pay for an item, and the number of items he wants to purchase.
The highest bidder(s) will receive the number of items they have bid on, and the remaining bidders will receive the number of items still available.
Buyers are able to bid more than once for the same item. Once a sale has been processed, both the seller and the buyer will be able to leave feedbacks for each other.
The feedback rating is from one star to five stars, and a feedback comment can also be left. The feedback can be left from the “Feedback” tab from the Members Area. The feedback can only be left once, and it cannot be edited afterwards.
The site admin will reserve its right to delete malicious or untrue feedbacks.
Please speak to the seller first before leaving feedback if there is a problem with the transaction.
We reserve the right to remove abusive feedback.
Feedback extortion will not be tolerated. The item watch features lets you keep a close eye on any auction without having to place a bid on it. This feature means you can be kept up to date on how an auction is doing and prepares you to place a winning last minute bid. You can watch any auction by clicking on the “Watch this item” link on any auction page The auction watch features notifies you of newly listed auctions which contain “keywords” you have chosen. For example if you are looking for a “Playstation 2” you could enter in those keywords from within your member’s area.
Each time a new auction is listed containing the term “Playstation 2” you will be notified via this web-site. You can enter in as many keywords as you like. Once you have signed up for an account, you will be able to sell items through the site.
In order to do that, you will have to click on the “Sell” link, and you will be redirected to a page, you can then select the main category of the product or service you want to sell.
This feature has been made in order to ease the subcategory choosing process.
No items can be sold by choosing only the main category; you will have to choose a subcategory for it.
The second step is entering the auction details, settings, payment methods available, and choosing a category.
An image that will come with the auction is free of charge, but the admin may charge for adding additional pictures.
On the Auction Settings tab, you can choose the type of the auction, the start price, whether to activate buy now or set a reserve price. Also, you will be able to choose what type of bid increment to use, the progressive one implemented into the site or a custom one. If you choose the custom one, you will have to enter an increment value.
You will also be able to choose whether to feature the item, and the duration of the auction. After setting the location, shipping and payment and subcategory, and by clicking on the “Next Step” button, you will be redirected to Step Three, where you can review the auction before submitting.
If everything is in order, you can click on the “Submit” button, and will be redirected to the payment page, or a confirmation page, if no fees have to be paid. The auction is activated once the payment is confirmed by the payment gateway, or instantly, if no fees need to be paid.
Please note we have included a auction extend for trial.
If your item receives a bid in the last minute the auction will extend for a further one minute.
This is a test which we will run for the first few months and if succesful will continue it.
Please note to enable a store you need to pay for your month subscription at that time.
If opening a store you can still take a smaller store and if for example the store is a 20 item store you can list 20 items in store and auction categoories and then for the rest of the listings you can put into auction categories.
Please keep a eye on when your stores are due to be paid, store settings are automated so if arent paid on the due date they will disable until you make your payment.
Listings will still show is listed in store and auction categories.
If you want to increase your store level half way through the month please contact admin so you pay prorata and don't get charged a full month again.
We are finding that the make a offer feature is very popular with buyers so it is really worth giving it a try. Registration is simple and only takes a matter minutes. To start the signup process, click on the “register” link at the top of this page. Only users with the age over 18 years are able to register. The next step is to fill in all your information, failure to supply all the required information will result in an error. By clicking on the “Register” button from the bottom of the page, you will be redirected to a page with a link to the confirmation page. Buyer accounts are automatically approved. Seller accounts need to be approved by Admin before you can start listing. If you have spotted on item you would like to place a bid on you can do so quickly and easily by following these steps:-
Wanted ads are a new and increasingly popular feature. As an advertiser you can list adverts for items you want and sellers can submit offers for items they are selling. It’s a quick, simple and hassle free way of sellers being able to meet buyers demands. List a new wanted ad and wait for sellers to contact you with offers. If you receive an offer your happy with you can bid on the item! Browse the wanted ads and if you see one that matches an item your selling make an offer and tell the buyer you have just what they are looking for! At this stage free email accounts (hotmail.com yahoo.com etc) will be allowed but closely monitored. Due to security reasons we may have to reconsider this in future management considerations. If your auction has concluded and a winning bid is achieved contact must be made within 7 days in an effort to close the sale. If no contact has been made between buyer and seller after 7 days the item will be considered still the possession of the original seller and then if required can be relisted.
With true, honest and proper intention planning and contact should be established within, if not before the expiration of this 7 day period. |
