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:
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. Reserve - The Reserve price is the absolute minimum dollar amount the Seller will accept for an item. The seller agrees to sell the item to the highest bidder upon the term listing expiration if the bidding has reached or exceeded this price. 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 highest bidder. The ability to set a Reserve price is only available to Traditional Auctions. Buy Now - When listing an item, you may have the option of setting a Buy Now price. The Buy Now feature allows instant purchasing. The Buy Now feature is available for the following listing types:
Request for a Quote (RFQ) - RFQ allow drawing/image uploads and dynamic communication between the Outsourcer/Subcontractor and all potential Buyers. When listing a RFQ, you have an option to enter your budget price, and the shipping price you are willing to pay, and any information/description/requests about the item or service you are requesting. When an arrangement has been reached between the buyer and the seller, the seller can manually end the RFQ listing. Purchase Directors, Plant Managers and Business Owners can request services, outsource or subcontract work to shops around the country.The system supports the following file formats: .GIF, .JPG, .DOC, .PDF and .RTF Note:The person whom created the listing selects the winning offer rather than the system automatically accepting the lowest bid as the winner (same as reverse auction - high to low). Classified Ad - Unlike traditional text only classified ads, our Classified Ads allow image uploads and dynamic communication between the Seller and all potential Buyers. When listing a Classified Ad, you enter your asking price, the shipping cost, and any information about the item or service you are selling. When an arrangement has been reached between the buyer and the seller, the seller can manually end the Classified Ad. Place your ads today and generate leads with this informative listing! Note: The sale is completed through the seller/buyer not the system.
Stores - for a small fee you can set-up your own personal store. Sell more than one item, bulk, a group of items or list and auction off a complete operation, complete plant or complete business equipment.
