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
- Choose the category you wish to list your item in, this can be revised at any time by using the “Previous Step” navigation button.
- Enter your item title and description, a full WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") 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.
- Moving on to step three, this is the biggest stage of the listing process. On this step you can set the following:
- Auction type - Standard or Dutch. Standard is a single quantity auction. Dutch enables you to list multiple quantity auctions.
- Currency - Only US currency is currently accepted at this time.
- Quantity -This field is only active if listing a Dutch auction.
- Auction Starts At - Required field, enter the minimum bid (or start price) you are willing to accept.
- Reserve Price - Enabling a reserve price means you will not sell the item for less than this amount. For example: If you list a start price of $5.00 and a reserve price of $50.00, if the bidding only goes to $49.99, the auction will close without a winner.
- Buy-out - Allows you to set up a straight buy-out of the item you are selling. You can also list buy out only auctions, these auctions remove all bidding options meaning the listing can only be purchased for a set amount. To set a buy out only auction you need to set the buy out value to be exactly equal with the start bid.
- Bid increment - Enter your own custom bid increment.
- Item features - The following added value options are available to you (fees may apply), these will highlight your item to ensure they reach more visitors.
