If you are not using the WeBidz Auction Manager software, you will need to follow the below steps to list your items. Click on the “Sell” link on the main menu located at the top of the webpage. You will be sent to step 1 of listing your item.
Step 1: Main Category:
Click the Main Category that your item fits in to best, then choose the appropriate sub-categories.
Step 2: Second Category:
Click a second category for your item (optional). If you do not want a second category for your item, click the text button "No Thanks, I do Not Want To List In A Second Category!"
Step 3: Item Details:
Item Name: Enter the title of your auction in the "Item Name" text box. Enter as descriptive text as possible, as this is what will drive buyers to look at your auction.(45 character limit) Description: In the description box enter your text description, or your own html(no java). To enter your own html simply click the view html source button, which looks like this "<>". Then copy and paste your html into the box. Click the view html source button and you can see how your ad will look.
If you are not using your own html, you can just type your text into the description box. This program works similar to a word processor, so if you want to get fancy you can use the tools avialable to change fonts, add bullets, change font color, insert images, plus much more.
Step 4: Auction Settings
Auction Type: Choose the auction type from the drop down menu. Standard auction is for one item. If you want to list a quantity of greater than one, select dutch auction.
Auction Currency: Change the currency setting if you are a seller outside the US.
Item Quantity: Enter the quantity of items to be sold on this auction.
Auction Starts at: Enter the price you want your auction to start at. (NOTE: If you want to list a "Buy Out Only" auction, you need to set the start price equal to the buy out price.)
Reserve Price: Enter a reserve price (optional). Reserve price is the lowest you would be willing to sell your item at. So if you set a reserve price of $20.00, and your auction ended with the highest bid at $19.00, your item would end as unsold.
Buy Out: Enter a buy out price (optional). This would enable prospective buyer the option of buying at the price listed instead of waiting until the end of the auction. The buy now price must be equal to or higher than the start price.
Bid Increment: Leave this as it is, unless you want to set the bid increments to a different setting. A bid increment is the amount a bidder must bid over the previous bidder. So if you set the bid increment at $1.00 and there was a bid on your item of $5.00, the next bidder would have to bid at least $6.00.
Featured Item: These are options that have a fee involved. You will see the current price for these items next to each item.
Start Time: Your auction will start immediaty upon submission, unless you click the custom box and enter the date and time you want your auction to start.
Duration: Choose the length of the auction you want from the drop down menu.
Private Auction: Choose this if you wish your bidders ID hidden.
Auto Relist: Check this option if you want your item to automatically relist if unsold. If you choose enhanced options like homepage featured on this auction, you will incur the fees for the initial listing of that item, but you will not incur the fees for that listing each time this auction is relisted.
Upload Picture: Click the browse button and locate the picture for the auction from your computer. Once you find the picture or enter the url of the picture, click the "upload file" button. The page will refresh and you will now see a thumbnail of your picture in the images section of the listing page.
Your pictures should be less than 100kb and jpeg format to upload correctly. If your picture does not show up when listed, your picture is either the wrong format, too large, or you failed to click the "upload file" button before proceeding to the next step.
Picture Gallery: Here you can upload up to three additional pictures. Size limitations are the same as above. There is a fee for each additional picture uploaded, which is listed here.
Choose auto relist if you want your auction to relist if unsold. Choose auto relist if sold when you want your auctions to relist even if sold. Enter the amount of times you want your item to relist. The maximum is 99 times.
Enter your country and zip code, then click the next step button.
