Auctions are LIVE!

by Johnny Cash on May 15, 2012

Auctions are live!

In your Dashboard, under Provide, notice some new things:

You can easily switch your products and services to be sold in an auction (instead of fixed price), by visiting your "I'm Selling page":


From there, click on each of your products or services that you want to convert to an auction, and notice the new choice there:

Click the green "Continue" button, and on the next page, you'll find your auction controls:

Your Starting Price is where the bidding starts. Set this low to ensure you create excitement and your product or service gets lots of bids.

Remember, every time someone bids on your product or service, your item gets shown to all of their friends and fans -- so set your Starting Bid low to get lots of excitement and bids.

The "reserve price" is the very least you are willing to accept for your item. Your product or service will not be sold for less than that.

It is recommended that you do NOT use the reserve price - as it may turn people off from bidding on your items in the future. If you do use it, try and keep it as low as possible.

If you're selling a service, you can charge an additional "Gas cost" fee. If you're selling a Product, you can charge for Shipping. 

There are no fees taken out for Gas or Shipping. The entirety of that amount will be inserted into your bank when the sale is complete.

 

It's as simple as that!

The best way to learn how to use Auctions is to play with it!

Start by auctioning some things around the house that you are no longer using. The more interesting or valuable it is, the more likely you'll get lots of bids and excitement around your auction!


Do you want your Products & Services placed in front of 10 million people a day?

@ Vuong van D?: You are right, my friend. That is the plan.

It's going to be a busy summer. You will see a LOT of improvements to the social networking functions, as well as many new features, as the size of the engineering team is set to TRIPLE within the next 45 days. Thanks for your patience - we're almost there.

One question, If I earn from an Auction, when does the money become available to me? Is it immediate or does it have to mature?

12 months ago

Good business Tips. Thanks for sharing a helping post.

@Chrystal: Maturation from Auctions is the same as Fixed cost. As your volume increases, maturity accelerates to as little as 0 (zero) days.

You can read about faster maturation for Providers here: http://posts.fanbox.com/wttl4

Jc it looks great my only suggestion is to change the color for the click or change the color on the Thank You buttons since they are both green. You see what I mean by that so people will not think it is a Thank You instead. I just noticed that OR have they done away with the thank you and send feature when someone likes your blog or ad? I have not seen it in a few days. This is another great way to earn so the thread will be really reving up now! I too hope it does not detract from all the other nice features here. Of course I am still fairly new so what do I know LOL Great job FanBox!!

I have a question for you JC please tell us how to monitor the bidding that clients have created for the P&S? Meaning how do you see the bids you are getting? I just received this question from one of my clients :-)

Hello JC, I want to place my products and services to be sold in auction but the feature is not yet active in my country?

@Cindy Woods: To see the bids you are getting, visit your DashBoard, Provide tab. Click the "I'm selling" button to see a list of the things you are selling. Click any of them to see the product, and click "Bids" to see all the bids that product or service has received.

@Inamullah Khan: You cannot cancel your bid because that's not fair to the seller. When you place a winning bid, the last person's winning bid money is returned to them.

@Jose Ronito: Yes, it is live in all countries. Send me an email if you are still having an issue.

@Mona: I will pass your design / color suggestion to the design team.
