When you place a bid, you may also enter a bidding limit. The system will then bid automatically for
you up to the limit if someone else bids on the object. The following table is used for bidding:
| Current bid | Automatic bid
|
|---|
| NOK 1 - NOK 50 | Current bid + NOK 1
|
| NOK 51 - NOK 100 | Current bid + NOK 5
|
| NOK 101 - NOK 500 | Current bid + NOK 10
|
| NOK 501 - NOK 2.000 | Current bid + NOK 25
|
| NOK 1001 - | Current bid + NOK 50
|
Your limits will not be visible for anyone else.
Lets say you bid NOK 500,- on an object, with a limit of NOK 1000,- One of the following might happen:
- Someone bids NOK 600,-
Your bid is automatically raised to NOK 625,-.
- Someone bids NOK 980,-
Your bid should have been raised to 1005, but since your limit was NOK 1000,- that is what your bid
is raised to.
- Someone bids NOK 1001,-
You no longer have the bid.
- Someone bids NOK 600,- + LIMIT NOK 700,-
Your bid is raised to NOK 725,-
- Someone bids NOK 600,- + LIMIT NOK 1000,-
Your bid is raised to NOK 1000,-
- Someone bids NOK 600,- + LIMIT NOK 1200,-
The other person now has the bid: NOK 1100,-
When either of these situations occur, you will receive a notification by
email.
When an auction has reached countdown, there will be a period of time (60 seconds) before the first object on the list
is closed. After another period of tme (this period is auction dependent and might be 0), the second object
will close and so on. If someone bids on an object, this object will get extra 60 seconds "to live".
If you have spelled your email correctly, you will receive an email in the following situations:
- When someone overbids you
- When a bid of yours is automatically raised
- When you win objects on an auction
- When the system administrator wants to tell something to his customers.
If you don't want to receive these messages, you may turn this feature off from the registration form
(first time registration or by hitting the button "Profile").
In the registration form, you might enter your credit card number. If you do so, and later want to
edit your profile, the card number will not be transferred to your
browser for security reasons (The system
will keep your old number as long as you don't supply a new one).
If you want to pay by card, but don't want to supply your card number over Internet, please contact us by
phone or fax.
Whatever I try do to, I get the list of current auctions
Solution: To work properly, the auction system has to be able to set something called cookies
on your machine. Most browsers support this, but some of them have the possibility to turn
this feature off.
I get an error message telling that the object might have been deleted
You have probably switched between auctions, and then used the back-button to return to a previos visited auction.
Solution: You should always use the auction-button when you switch between
different auctions.
I still have problems
