Q:
How do I post something to the auction/freebies/want ads?
A: First you need to register. You can do so by clicking
on the Register Link in the menu on the left. Fill in the
form and press the submit button. You will receive an email
shortly that will contain the password that you need to post
on our site.
Now you can go to the auction, freebies or want ads (whichever
one you want to post to), and click on the "Post New
Item" link that is at the bottom of the page. Follow
the instructions and fill in the form(s) with the requested
data and enter your alias and password and you will be given
a preview of what your post will look like. Click the post
button and it is posted!
Q:
The password I was given when I registered
is difficult to remember. Can I change it?
A: Yes, just go to either the auction, freebies or
want ads and click on the "Change Registration Info"
link at the bottom of the page. The form that comes up will
allow you to change not just your password, but any of your
contact information as well.
Q:
I am having problems including an image
with my post to the auction/freebies/want ads. What am I doing
wrong?
A: It may not be your fault, but try these steps first:
- Make sure your image is either JPEG or GIF format
- Make sure your image is no bigger than 200 pixels tall by
200 pixels wide
- Try starting over and re-upload the image
- Try again later
If none of these things work it might be our fault. Email
us with your image's filename and any error messages that
came up. Sometimes when an error message comes up there is
an email link provided.
Q:
How much information should I provide
in my post's description?
A: As much as possible. Remember, the more information,
the more interested you can make a potential buyer. Try to
include a picture too, after all, a picture is worth a thousand
words!
Q:
How does the Auto-bidding work on the
auction?
A: By providing an initial bid, a maximum bid, your
alias and password, the auction system can keep track of the
item you auto-bidded on, and when someone else bids on the
item, automatically bids again for you, upto but not exceeding
your maximum bid. This does not mean that if you win an item
it will be at your maximum bid, unless someone else bid higher
than you until your maximum was reached and then the bidding
closed.
eg:
There is an item with a current bid of $1500, you place
an auto-bid starting at $1600 (must be higher than the current
bid) and ending at the maximum bid of $3600. Someone else
then bids on the item. Seeing the current bid of $1600 (your
initial bid) they bid $1700. The auto-bidder then bids $1800
for you. If the auction then closed, you would win the item
for $1800. But if someone bid $3500, the auto-bidder would
then bid $3600 for you. If the auction closed now, you would
win the item for $3600. But if someone bid $3700 before the
auction closed, that person would win because the auto-bidder
knows to stop bidding for you at $3600.
Also,
be sure to read the Terms & Conditions.
