Listing an item is developed in such a way as to be a self-guided process so every step is seamless.

To list your item, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Click on the “Sell” link found on the header navigational bar. The listing process is split into several main sections:

Category Selection
Item Details
Auction Settings
Shipping and Payment
Listing Preview
Listing Confirmation

Step 2: Select the category that most suits the item you wish to list for auction. This category may be revised at any time by clicking the “Previous Step” navigation button.

Step 4: At this step, this is where you will establish the type of Auction you want.

Select between the following types:

Standard – this type is for a single quantity auction.

Dutch – this type is available to list a multiple quantity auction. For example, if you have 100 pens to sell you would list all these together in a single bid lot. Bidders would be able to select the amount of the item and to make their bid based on the determined amount.

Currency

Select the preferred auction currency using the drop-down menu.

Quantity

This field will be active only if the “Dutch” auction type is selected. Please see the above explanation of this listing type.

Auction Starts At

This field will allow you to enter the minimum bid amount you are willing to accept for the item.

Reserve Price

Setting a ‘reserve” price means you effectively establish the price to sell the item for and no less than the amount set. For example, you set the reserve at 50.00, should the highest bid be 49.99, the item will close without a winning bid.

Buy-Out (if available)

Buy-Out allows you to establish the price amount you are willing to sell the item. For example, you may set the start price at 10.00, but offer the interested bidders the option to buy the item immediately for 100.00.

You can also list a Buy-Out Only auction. This auction removes the bidding options meaning the listing may only be made for the purchase price. To set a “Buy-Out Only” auction you will set the “buy-out” value to be exactly equal with the start bid.

Offer-Range (if available)
You may set a price-offer range for the item you are listing. By establishing amounts within the brackets, the bidder may state an amount and you are able to opt whether or not you accept or decline that bidder’s offer at any time via the Members area. For example, set the price brackets from 15.00 to 100.00 for all interested parties to bid within the guidelines of the bracket amounts.

Bid Increment

This option is available for you to set your preferred custom bid increment amount.

Item Feature (if available)

The following options are available for you to highlight your item on the site to ensure it will attract more visitors.

Set Start/End Time

You may either opt to list your item immediately and set a defined number of days for it to be “live” or you have the option to define your own custom start/end time.

Private Auction

You may use this option to hide the bidder’s identity on the item details page.

Image Upload

You may upload images to accompany your item to sell from either your home computer or to enter the URL of an image(s) hosted elsewhere.

Auto Re-List

For convenience, you may opt to have your items automatically re-listed. Options are available to allow you to select whether the item should be re-listed if not sold and how many times the re-list attempt(s) should be made.

Tip: At any time, while the listing is “live” you may adjust or edit your listing selections as desired in the “Members” area.
