   • High Bid confirmation: If your bid is the highest, you will be notified of this fact. If you wish to cancel your bid, you must do so now from this preview page. Bids cannot be retracted once confirmed.
     
     
   • Outbid confirmation: Another bidder might have placed a bid using automatic bidding, in which case an updated bid was placed on their behalf and you were automatically outbid. If this does happen and you want to bid again, return to the auction page and enter a higher amount.
     
     
   • Bid is below reserve price confirmation: In some cases, a seller may set a reserve price, which is the lowest price the seller is willing to accept. Any bid less than the reserve price will not win the auction. If this happens and you want to bid again, return to the auction page and enter a higher amount.

2. Click on the "Sell" button.
   
   
3. Browse through the auctions directory to the category that best matches for your item. Look for similar items within that category. Be as specific as possible when locating the correct category -- this will help potential bidders find your item.
   
   
4. Once you've decided where to place your item for sale, you'll need to fill out the submission page.
   
   Here's a quick list of the information you need to provide on the submission page:
   
   
   • Title: Describe your item in a simple, straightforward way. Uppercase letters, multiple exclamation points, and excessive sales hype in your title create problems and will be automatically removed. Clear, accurate titles help buyers find what they're looking for.
     
     
   • Enter a description: Provide facts and details. How old is the item? What condition is it in? Where did you get it? The more information you provide, the happier your customers will be.
     
     
   • Enter your sales policies and shipping information: Choose the payment and shipping methods that you prefer. These policies will be posted on your auction for bidders to view. If you would like to post additional information about your payment and shipping policies, we suggest you do so in your auction description. If you are willing to ship your item (s) internationally, be sure to check the box next to "ship internationally." This lets international bidders know that they can bid on your auction.
     
     
   • Choose quantity: Auctions are typically for one item. Auctions with a quantity of identical items (e.g., 50 Stollers) are called Dutch auctions.
     
     
   • Choose your starting price: This is the offering price for your item when bidding opens. We suggest that you set this as low as possible to encourage bidding.
     
     
   • Set the length of your auction: You select the number of days that your auction will be open for bidding (from 1-10 days).
     
     
   • Select additional selling options: Customize the following selling options as auction preferences. You may select these features at submission time:
     
     
     • Reserve price

Insertion Fees

• Regular Listings

  The Insertion Fee is based on the starting price of the item.

• Reserve Price Listings

  The Insertion Fee is based upon the reserve price of the item you list for sale.

  When you list a Reserve Price Auction, you will also be charged a Reserve Price Auction Fee, which is based upon the reserve price.

• Multiple Item Listings

  The Insertion Fee is based on the starting price of the item. Since you are selling multiple quantities, your Insertion Fee is doubled.

Final Value Fees

At the end of an auction, you will be charged a Final Value Fee based on the final sale price (final value) of your item:
• Regular and Reserve Price Listings (when the reserve has been met)

  The final value is the closing bid. Remember, there is no Final Value Fee charged if the reserve is not met.

• Multiple Item Listings

  The Final Value Fee is calculated per item sold, based on the final sale price of the item.

You will not be charged a Final Value Fee if:
• There were no bids on your item.

• If there were no bids that met your reserve price for your Reserve Price Listing.

But you will be charged a Final Value Fee:
• If you item is won by a buyer.

Track specific categories, favorite sellers, or search for your selected keywords across all categories. When a new item matches your interest, you will receive an email with the details of the auction. You must be signed in to create your alerts.
  
  
• Auto Resubmit: This option for sellers automatically resubmits your auction if your item is not sold when the auction closes. The auction reopens with the same information.
  
  
• Automatic Bidding: The system automatically places bids on your behalf at the lowest possible increments. You enter the highest amount you are willing to pay, then the computer goes to work for you. The goal is for you to win your item at the lowest possible price. Your maximum bid amount is placed only when another bidder has actually bid up to that amount.
  
  
• Buy Price: The price at which the seller is willing to sell the listed item. The auction closes automatically when a bidder meets the buy price.
  
  
• Credit Card Verification: Credit card verification is an added step to ensure a safe environment for auction participants. Your credit card will not be charged. All sellers are required to provide a credit card to verify their identity before they can sell. Bidders may participate in auctions without providing a credit card.
  
  
• Length of Auction: The number of days people can bid on your auction. You select a length of time from one to ten days.
  
  
• Minimum Bidder Rating: This option determines which bidders are required to provide credit card verification before bidding on your auction. The default rating is None -- this means that no bidder is required to enter a card number. Select a rating number and any bidder with a lower rating number will be required to enter their credit card number; set it to All Bidders to require every bidder to enter their credit card number. Note: we currently do not have credit card verification available in all countries, therefore if minimum ratings are enabled users from those countries may be blocked from bidding.
  
  
• Photo Upload: Photo Upload is a feature for adding photos to your auctions using the KidZMart.com Auctions submission process.
  
  
• Register: In order to place a bid or sell an item you need to register at KidZMart.com. Registration is free and it is required. This helps provide all participants with a safer environment to buy and sell. Your registration information is private.
  
  
• Reserve Price: The reserve price is the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell an item. The seller sets a "Starting Price" and allows buyers to drive up the price by placing bids. If at the close of auction, the bidders have not met the reserve price, the seller is not obligated to sell.
  
  
• Sales Policies: As a seller, you choose how you want your transactions to proceed. There are three things you need to specify:
  
  
  1. Decide what types of payment you are willing to accept from buyers (personal checks, cashiers checks, money orders, credit cards, or payment via an escrow service).
     
     
  2. Specify who pays the shipping costs -- you or the buyer.
     
     
  3. Indicate whether you will ship the item after the close of the auction or after you receive payment.
     
     
• Starting Price: All bidding for your item will start at this price. Please keep this amount as low as possible. Bids below this amount will not be accepted.
