Selling With Auctions

[shir1966]

Hi,
I have just upgraded my account to seller + and have listed 5 items for sale but I seem to only be able to sell by buy it now.
How do I activate the bid auction?

Untick the 'Fixed Price' box.

Ooh Dunbar - not been there for years - is still a nice quiet fishing village?

Hi Astral 276

You cannot list an auction RunTilSold.
If you want your items to be both auctions & Buy Nows, or auctions only, they need to have a time specified.

Thanks every one I have just worked out where I was going wrong.
Just what you were saying Gothicina, I had to change from run until sold and add an auction time.

Read post #5 above (http://meetup.ebid.net/showpost.php?...51&postcount=5)

Your listing is Run Until Sold (RUS). You cannot have a RUS auction as it would never end.
