To register, you can do any of the following:
1) Click on the Button that says "Register" under it
2) Go to the bottom of the page and click on "Register"
Click on the Sell link on the main menu located at the top of the webpage. If you have a store you will be asked where to list your item, there are 3 choices:
*Site
List your item on the main site. Normal listing fees will apply
*Shop
List your item in your shop. No listing fees will apply in this case
*Both
List your item on both the main site and in your shop. Normal listing fees will apply
Step 1: Main Category:
Click the Main Category that your item fits in to best, then choose the appropriate sub-categories. *Note: If you selected to list your item in "Both"(site and shop) if you created categories in your shop then those are the only categories that will show up as an option. If you need to include more categories then you can add others by clicking the Custom Categories link under MY Store in your members area.
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. 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 available 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 Now" 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 $25.00, and your auction ended with the highest bid at $24.00, your item would end as unsold.
Enable Buy Out: Enter a buy now 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.
Other Options: Featured Item, Category Featured, Highlight, Bold
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.
Accept Swap Offers: By enabling this option, swap offers will be accepted for this auction.
Materials: List the materials used to create your item. (this is a searchable field)
Tags: Think about how you would classify your item in a store, or what keywords you would enter into a search engine to find it. (this is a searchable field)
Upload Picture: Click the browse button and locate the picture for the auction from your computer. Once you find 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. 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.
Auto Relist: Check this option if you want your item to automatically relist if unsold.
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.
Enter your country and zip code, then click the next step button.

How can I keep track of items I'm selling?
You can keep an eye on everything you are selling by visiting your "Members Area" and selecting the "Selling" page.
How can I keep track of items I'm bidding on?
You can keep an eye on everything you are bidding on by visiting your "Members Area" and selecting the "Bidding" page. On this page you can see your current and past bids, favorite stores, and items you are watching as well!
How do I know if I am outbid on an item?
Our auction system will automatically notify you via email if you are outbid.
How do I set up a store?
Setting up a store is very easy to do. Go to your "Member's Area" and click on the "Store" button. Once in the store section, you will be given the chance to name your store, activate the URL, add a logo, description, store policies, and edit categories. Once you have finished this, you will "save settings" and your store will be up and running!
How do I add items to my store?
You will add items to your store the same way you sell items normally. Click on the "Sell" button on the top of the page. When you have a store it will give you three options: 1) Store, 2) Auction, or 3) Both. You should ALWAYS choose "Both". By choosing "Both", you will have your items listed in your store and also within the main categories. Choose "Store" if you would like to list some items just for your customers to find. Choose "Auction" if you are selling an item that you for some reason do not want in your store.
After you have chosen where you want you item(s) placed, you will then fill out the title, description (this is where you put html), shipping, and all other important information. When you are finished and submit the item, as long as you have chosen either "Store" or "Both", it will appear in your store!
This is because you did not choose "Both" when given the option of where to place your item(s). If you have chosen to place items in your "Store" only, but would like them available in "Auction" as well, then please contact us and we will fix this for you
