You are obligated to sell your item at the high bid price, with the only exception being reserve price auctions

Also, you cannot sell that item to anybody until the end of the auction you started


58


OvertimeNormally, an auction closes at the scheduled time as displayed within the listingHowever, if there are successful bids entered within the last 5 minutes of the closing time, then the auction will go into overtime The auction is extended until there are no further bids for a continuous 5 minutes The overtime lasts for 20 more minutes.It is possible for an auction to be extended continuously


59


Reserve BidsThe reserve price is the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell an item

The reserve price is never disclosed to bidders

A seller might specify a reserve price if he/she is unsure of the real value of his/her item and would like to reserve the right to refuse to sell the item if the market value is below a certain price


60

Future AuctionsIt is possible to enter auctions that will start in the future.

Completion of auctionSend notifications to high bidder & seller

Both the buyer and seller are expected to contact each other via email, within 3 days after the end of the auction

We recommend that you speak over the phone before sending payment, or before shipping merchandise


62


…Completion of auctionOnce contact has begun, the payment arrangements, shipping arrangements, and expected dates should be settled upon.

The goal is to complete the transaction within 10 days of auction closing. This may vary a little, depending on payment type, how long to wait to clear, when seller can get the item to carrier, etc.

Basically, the specific dates should be worked out between the buyer and seller, and each party should follow through with their part of the schedule.
