Once you have successfully logged in using the login forms from the main page or from the login page (click on the "login" button from the page header), you will be redirected to the members area page. This page is divided into four tabs:
a. Bidding On this page, you will be able to see the items your currently bidding on, as well as the status of the bids, items you have won, and watched items. By clicking on the "Auction Watch" link, you will be able to add keywords for auctions your interested. An email will be sent to your email address every time an auction that will contain the keyword in its name or description will be submitted. By clicking on the "View Details" link from the Won Items area, you will be able to see the details of the seller, and make contact with them in order to finish the sale.
b.Selling There are three areas available on this page. The "My Opened Auctions" area, where you will see details of auctions you currently have open; if no bids were submitted yet on an open auction, you are able to edit the auction. The "My Closed Auctions" area, where you will see the auctions submitted by yourself, and that were closed. You can choose to edit, delete or re-list a closed auction. On the "Sold Items" area, you will see the items you have sold, and by clicking on the "View Details" link, you will be redirected to a page where you will see the details of the buyer. If an end of auction fee is set from the admin area, then the seller will have to pay for the end of auction fee in order for you to see the buyer details. If, after the seller has contacted the bidder, and no sale has been made, you can claim back the end of auction fee. By clicking on the "Claim back end of auction fee", a claim back request will be sent to the site's administrator, and will be evaluated for fee refunding.
c.Feedback From this page, you will be able to see the feedbacks you have received, and leave feedbacks to other users.
d. Personal Info You can edit your personal information using this page, except for your username. You can also change the password for the account. If the password and confirm password fields are left empty, and then the password will remain the same.
If you have spotted on item you would like to place a bid on you can do so quickly and easily by following these steps:
(1) Login to your account. If you have not registered you can do so within 5 minutes
(2) Visit the auction page
(3) Towards the bottom of the auction description page you will see a "bidding box", you can use the shortcut link to the bidding box if you wish.
(4) Enter in your bid, note you must bid above the minimum bid required. More than one person can bid the minimum bid. If the item only receives a minimum bid, the last person to bid the minimum bid at the closing of the auction wins that item.
(5) Click on the "place bid" button
(6) You will then be asked to confirm your bid, once you have done so your bid will be entered, if successful you will receive a confirmation message. If you bid fails to outbid the current high bidder you will be offered the option to place a higher bid. You can not retract your bid once the bid has been made. You will be held to your bid. Proxy bidding can aid your chances of winning an auction and help avoid you being outbid at the last moment. To place a proxy bid enter in the maximum price you are willing to pay for the item. If another user places a bid on the same auction automatic bids will be placed on your behalf in accordance with your maximum bid amount. With proxy bidding you will pay the lowest possible price until someone else places a higher bid. On a Dutch auction, you can enter the amount of items you wish to buy (depending the quantity available).
If you purchase less than there are available in total, the auction will remain open with the number of items left available after you have purchased the amount you want.
Bids can NOT be retracted, so bid carefully.
If a user places a bid within Sniping Time of auction close, that auction will be automatically extended by the Sniping Time of 15 minutes.
The auction watch features notifies you of newly listed auctions which contain keywords you have chosen. For example if you are looking for a new Digital Camera you could enter in those keywords from within your members area area. Each time a new auction is listed containing those keywords you will be notified via email.
The item watch features lets you keep a close eye on any auction without having to place a bid on it. This feature means you can be kept up to date on how an auction is doing and prepares you to place a winning last minute bid. You can watch any auction by clicking on the ?Watch this item? link on any auction page.
