| Run a Sale any time you want to |

Shoppers love discounts and everyone LOVES a sale, now sellers can be in control, have a sale whenever you please and run your business like the professionals!!!! You set the discount, the begining and ending times and selectivily choose the items to discount!
This handy New Selling tool will enable you to seamlessly configure a discount on just one or all Buy Now listed items in just minutes. NO more awkward post sale invoices where you have to calculate and refund your buyer if you want to have a sale or offer a discount (not very professional). The best part about this addition is that it calculates everything for you!!! Just set the discount and forget it! The very best part is that it is free to our members.
Perfect for reducing prices on slow or non moving items with out spending the time changin the auction page manually. Since you can turn this on or off in a split second, it is great for giving your business customers a commerical discount at a pre arranged time then reset to regular pricing.
NOTE: The Discounted price is visible on the MAIN PAGE FEATURED ITEMS, RECENTLY ADDED ITEMS, AUCTION SEARCHED ITEMS, AUCTION DETAILS PAGE. This is an incredible feature where shoppers will be able to check for discounted items in the "advance search".
Not even the big big e has this available. |
|
 |
|
 | Auction watch The auction watch features notifies you of newly listed auctions which contain keywords you have chosen. For example if you are looking for a Playstation 2 you could enter in those keywords from within your members area. Each time a new auction is listed containing the term Playstation 2 you will be notified via this web-site. You can enter in as many keywords as you like.
| Buy it now auctions. |
|
| Buy it now prices are set by the seller, if you agree with that price, you can click on the Buy Now button which is displayed on the auction details page. After clicking on the button you will be re-directed to a confirmation page. On a standard auction that auction will end instantly as the item has been sold via Buy it now. |
|
| CHECKOUT |
| Only on bidOwl can you add item details for the seller when you checkout. Eliminating additional emails to complete the purchase. |
 |
|
| Sellers; |
| If you enable Buy Now, buyers will be able to purchase your item instantly, without the need for the auction end time to be reached.
IMPORTANT; BuyNow listings qualify for Run A Sale and submission to GoogleBase web search engine. | Dutch auctions On a Dutch Auction, the auctioneer has more items of the same product for sale. The bidder will enter a maximum bid he is willing to pay for an item, and the number of items he wants to purchase. The highest bidder(s) will receive the number of items they have bid on, and the remaining bidders will receive the number of items still available. Buyers are able to bid more than once for the same item. Enable Dutch Auction for multiple items when using BuyNow listings.
On a Dutch auction, you can enter the amount of items you wish to buy (depending on the quantity available). If you purchase less than there are available in total, the auction will remain open with the number of items left available after you have purchased the amount you want.
Feedback system Please use the message board for all email messages as this area is intended for final
assessment of all transactions. No elaborate mathematical schemes are used to determine
feedback. Total feedback score consists of the actual number of clicks or stars that
are left by either party. 5 stars left equals 5 clicks added to the existing total score.
Once a sale has been processed, both the seller and the buyer will be able to leave feedbacks for each other. The feedback rating is from one star to five stars, and a feedback comment can also be left. The feedback can be left from the Feedback tab from the Members Area. The feedback can only be left once, and it cannot be edited afterwards. When either buyer or seller leaves feedback and no responsive feedback is received,
the system will automatically leave the highest feedback score by proxy within 30 days of transaction date.
Disputed feedbacks should be worked out by both parties not by bidOwl. We do not support ridiculous
fees under the guise of negations as a means of revenue. Reporting disputes within our system will only result
in removal of said feedback for both parties.
The site admin monitors feedbacks daily and reserves its right to delete improper, malicious or untrue feedbacks.
| Feedback Import: (Import Feedback Scores from other Auction Sites) |
As a seller, your Feedback rating is your life support system on any auction site. When a buyer is interested in making a purchase, most refer to a Sellers feedback to review their history. If you are new to our site, or have yet to establish a solid feedback history, you can import your Feedback Levels from other auction sites, to give you that added selling advantage. Its fast, free, and should be one of your top priorities.

Proxy bidding can aid your chances of winning an auction and help avoid you being outbid at the last moment. To place a proxy bid enter in the maximum price you are willing to pay for the item.

The New bidOwl - My WEB STORE |
|
|
| Registering Registration is simple and only takes a matter minutes. To start the signup process, click on the register link at the top of this page. Only users with the age over 21 years are able to register. The next step is to fill in all your information, failure to supply all the required information will result in an error. By clicking on the Register button from the bottom of the page, you will be redirected to a page with a link to the payment gateway if the signup fee is activated, or to a confirmation page, if signup is free. Your account will be activated instantly if there is no signup fee, or once the payment has been confirmed by the payment gateway.
| A word about Shipping Fees |
| Unlike other auction sites, there is no need to start your item at a low price then adjust the shipping fees to compensate for listing fees as bidOwl does not charge a fee for the insertion. You are charged a minimal end of auction fee based on the total value that you auction sold for plus any optional upgrades that were added to enhance the auction. |
|
| We have found that shoppers are much more informed about the actual value of goods as well as the cost of shipping and take the overall price into consideration before making a buying decision. We recommend that you do not fall into the sell low and ship high trap and to list your goods at a fair price and to charge them the actual shipping costs including the costs of packing materials. Keep in mind that you are not paying extorted selling fees. In the example below the most you would pay is around 12% for a $49.99 item sold if you include the normal selling features. |

| You and your Security |
| x |
| bidOwl monitors suspicious activity on this system for your security but can not screen every merchant or buyer. All transactions on this site are between the Merchant and Buyer. Each Merchant is responsible for their listings and each Buyer is responsible for their purchases. Every transaction is a legal binding contract between the Merchant and the Buyer. Our references listed here are mostly a common sense approach to buying a high ticket item but can be applied to any purchase anywhere from anyone. |
| x |
|
| For your own security, you should follow a few basic rules. |
| x |
- If it looks too good to be true. Question the Merchant and ask for more proof. Referrals, feedback on other sites and references from other buyers especially on high ticket items. Not all good deals are to be considered suspicious as this is the nature of an auction.
|
- Basic instinct is hard to beat. If you question it, maybe you should pass it up.
|
|
|
- Request shipping information. Package tracking number and if insured an Insurance claim number.
|
- Try to use a secure payment method such as Postal money orders, PayPal or Google Checkout instead of supplying a credit card number or even a personal check.
|
Validate the tracking number supplied.
|
| x |
| Reasons to think that you have been defrauded |
| x |
- Unreasonable shipping time with no proof of shipping. Postal deliveries can take unreasonable delivery times 15 days are common.
|
- Members contact information does not corresponds with the shipping address.
|
- Can not supply a tracking number or insurance claim number.
|
- Offers many excuses for non receipt of item.
|
- Stalls refund and or re-shipping for long periods of time.
|
- Will not communicate or answer emails.
|
|
In general, many of the examples can be legitimate but should never take more than a few days to resolve. |
| x |
| If fraud is evident, Take Action do not wait |

Contact the service used to send or receive payment and report non receipt of goods. You may be able to stop payment in full. |
Contact local law enforcement in your area, as well as the buyer's area. |
File a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center. |
Contact bidOwl and report the issues. |
