How bidding works- PLEASE READ. This Auction uses Proxy Bidding.

Proxy Bidding allows you to place your highest maximum bid (if you want) and have the system automatically bid against other bidders on your behalf. You only have to pay the winning bid amount - not your maximum bid amount. For example- Sally places her highest maximum bid/proxy bid of $100.00 on an item that is currently bid to $50.00. John comes along and bids $75.00 - the system automatically places a bid of $77.00 on the item on behalf of Sally. If no other bids drive up the price Sally wins the auction and only has to pay $77.00. In a traditional auction if Sally places a $100.00 bid the item would instantly shoot up to $100.00.

Auction - A Traditional Auction listing allows you to sell items to the highest bidder. You specify the start price, and people bid against each other in specified bid increments. Traditional Auctions allow the Seller to set both a Reserve and Buy Now price. When listing a Traditional Auction, the quantity of goods is equal to one.

Example:

• One pair of jeans has a quantity of 1.
• A lot of 5 different men’s shirts have a quantity of 1 because they are all sold together as one item.

Fixed Price - A Fixed Price listing does not allow bidding. The seller specifies the only acceptable price for the item(s). You can sell one item or multiple identical items with one Fixed price listing. Because there is no bidding on fixed priced listings, all items are Buy Now.

Buy Now - When listing an item, you may have the option of setting a Buy Now price. The Buy Now feature allows instant purchasing.

• Traditional Auction
• All Fixed Price listings - The Fixed Price is automatically the Buy Now price.

Reserve - The Reserve price is the absolute minimum dollar amount the Seller will accept for an item. Buyers are notified after placing their bid if it is below the Reserve price.If a Buyer's maximum bid is greater than the Reserve price, the Reserve is automatically met and that user is the high bidder. The ability to set a Reserve price is only available to Traditional Auctions .
