The listing process is developed in such a way that you are guided through every step without effort.

The first part of the process is to choose the category and subcategories you wish to list your item in, this can be revised at any time by using the “Previous Step” navigation button. You will next be given an option to choose a second main category for your listing. You can skip a second category if you wish.

You will then be prompted to enter your item title and description, a full wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor is in place. You can also use HTML descriptions, if you are familiar with this coding alternative.

Look for the Voucher Code box if you have a voucher code to redeem. This box can be found just below the description field.

Next is Step 3. On this step you can set the following:

Choose Listing Type:

Full Listing - all listing options are shown

Quick Listing - only basic listing options are shown

Buy Out Option - create a quick buy only item - instant purchase only format

Auction Type:

Standard Auction

This is a single quantity auction

Dutch Auction

Dutch auction enables you to list a multiple quantity auction, for example if you have 50 identical items to sell you can list all of these together in a single lot. Bidders will be able to select how many they wish to bid for.

· Quantity:

This field is only active if listing a Dutch auction, please see above for an explanation of this listing type

· Auction Starting Price:

This requires you to enter the minimum bid you are willing to accept, you can also set a reserve price to ensure you do not sell the item for this amount. Please see below for more information on this.

· Reserve Price:

Enabling a reserve price effectively means you will not sell the item for less than the amount set, for example you can set the start price at 100.00 but only accept winning bids over 200.00, should a bid be placed for 199.99 the item will close without a winner.

· Enable Buy It Now (if chosen):

Bid4Jeeps offers it's members a feature called "Buy It Now" which allows you to set an amount you are willing to sell the item for and remove the wait time involved with an auction. For example you can set the start price to 5.00 but offer interested parties the option to buy the item immediately for 25.00.

You can also list Buy It Now only auctions, these auctions remove all bidding options meaning the listing can only be purchased for a set amount. To set a Buy It Now only auction you need to set the buy out value to be exactly equal with the start bid.

· Offer-Range (if chosen):

You can set a price bracket in which you are willing to listing to offer, for example if you set the price brackets from 10.00 to 50.00 interested parties will be able to offer you an amount within these brackets, you can opt whether to accept or decline these offers at any time via your members area.

· Bid increments:

This option can be used to set your own custom bid increment if preferred.

· Item featuring (if chosen):

The following options are available to you (nominal fees apply), these will highlight your item on site to ensure they reach more visitors:

§ Home Page Featured

§ Category Featured

§ Bold Text

§ Highlighted Background

· Set Custom Start/End Time:

You can either opt to list your item right away and set a defined number of days for it to be live for, or you also have the option to define your own custom start/end date & time.

· Private Auction:

Private auction will hide the bidders identity on the item details page

· Image Uploads:

To accompany your item(s) you can upload up to 10 images (each no larger than 500kb file size) from your local computer for each listing. Bid4Jeeps allows your first 2 images, per listing, free of charge. 8 additional images may be uploaded at a small payment of just $0.10 each. It is highly recommended to include an image. Pictures sell!

· Media/Video Uploads:

In addition to images you can also upload media/video files, please note only .avi/.mpeg/.mov are supported at this time. Videos cannot be more than 2 MB's each.

· Auto Re-List:

For your convenience you can choose to have your items automatically re-listed for you, options are available to allow you to select whether the item should be re-listed if sold and how many re-list attempts should be made. Bid4Jeeps allows each member to set their re-list for each auction up to 3 times without charge!

On the next step you can set your shipping and payment preferences including your shipping rates and available methods of delivery.

Now you can review the listing and make changes if required, please note you can still edit your listing at any time through your Control Panel.

Placing a bid on an item you are interested in couldn’t be easier, when viewing the item details page you can place your bid in the bid box.

To place your bid simply enter the amount you wish to bid e.g., 2.00. Please Note: Currency symbols are not needed. The bid will be placed in the auction's currency automatically.

Once done you will be asked to review your bid and you will also be able to view vital item details such as the shipping conditions before bid confirmation. To submit your bid simply press the “Place Bid” button.

If your bid is high enough to take the lead in the auction, a confirmation message will be displayed to you, however if your bid has not taken the lead, be it due to a higher proxy bid or not meeting the reserve price, you will be invited to make a further bid.

Should you decide to retract your bid this can be done via the “Current Bids” section located within your member vault.

You can also place a proxy bid. Proxy bidding allows you to place your “High Bid” for our system to call on if necessary. At all times you will only pay the lowest required bid should you win the auction and your proxy bid amount is never shown to anyone. For example, you can place a proxy bid of 400.00 on an auction. If it results in your current high bid on an auction being 100.00 that is where it will remain unless someone else bids higher. Should you remain the only bidder at 100.00 you will only pay the $100.00. However should the item receive other bids the site will automatically re-bid for you (up to your 400.00 in this scenario) to give you every opportunity to secure the item.

The auction watch feature notifies you of newly listed auctions which contain keywords you have chosen from within your member vault area. For example if you are looking for a new "Blu-ray player" you could enter in those keywords from within your Control Panel. Each time a new auction is listed containing those keywords you will be notified via email. You may add as many keywords as you desire on all types of items. The more specific your combination of keywords, the more defined your notifications will be (only those auctions that meet all the keywords you submitted). To add keywords go to your Control Panel and in the "Bidding" area click "Keywords Watch".

The Item Watch feature allows 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 progressing and prepares you to place a winning last minute bid. You can watch an auction by clicking on the “Watch this item” link located at the upper right of any auction.
However, be aware that placing a last minute bid is considered "sniping" and any bids placed within the last two minutes of the auction will extend that auction for an additional two minutes.
