Listing confirmation
The listing process is developed in such a way that you are guided through every step seamlessly.
You can use "Buy Now" to purchase the item immediately (at a fixed price) without having to place a bid. Some sellers offer this option to be used at any time until a bid has been placed over a set reserve price.
The "Buy Now" option will appear on the item details page. You will be asked to confirm your intention to purchase the item before the sale is concluded."Buy Now" can not be retracted.
Placing a bid on an item you are interested in could not be easier. When viewing the item details page, you will have two areas where you may place your bid. The first is next to the item details, and the second is 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. 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, you will receive a confirmation message. if your bid has not taken the lead due to a higher proxy bid or not meeting the reserve price, you will be invited to make a higher bid.
Should you decide to retract your bid, you may do so 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 you can place a proxy bid of 2,000.Should you remain the only bidder you will only pay 500.However, should the item receive other bids, the site will automatically re-bid for you (upto 2,000 in this scenario) to ensure you remain in the lead.
The item watch features allows you keep a close eye on any auction without having to place a bid on it. This feature allows you to keep up to date on how an auction is doing and prepares you to place a winning last minute bid. You may 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 card supply (stamp) you could enter in those keywords from within your members area. Each time a new auction is listed containing those keywords, you will be notified via email.
