Metdream..i think for auctions..buy it now/reserve should be the same..because..would the reserve be lower than the BIN price??also if there was a reserve(ie:EBAY) nobody would bid on it!!! from my experiences

[MetDream]

Ok rules edited, I changed the Reserve Price to an optional Lowest Bid (see below). Because we can't do a hidden reserve price like ebay does, then we need to do something to protect the person who is starting an auction who doesnt want to give something away for below a specific price. Then if others really want it they can bid from there.

What do you guys think? We can change this again if anyone has a better idea.

* If an Auction - Please list all of the following:

• Starting Bid: The lowest price you will accept for an item. (Optional)
• Instant "Buy Now" Price + Postage: only if you wish to set a price for instant sale Example: $25 + Postage: $5 (domestic) $15 (international)
• Highest Bid + Date/Time Updated: to be updated by the seller daily, more frequently if possible. Bidders be sure to check the last post in the thread for any new bids that have come in after the most recent update. Example: Highest Bid: $47.50 Updated: Dec 1, 2007 at 9:33 AM

* Sale conditions: e.g. Shipping methods, estimated postage costs, countries you will sell to etc.

* Estimated closing time for sale: e.g. 3 days, 8th December

You can edit your own posts can't you? You can change it to whatever you want.

If someone who is selling things in an auction suspect shilling there are things we can do to investigate it.
