Another thing I’d like to see happen is if I make a bid higher than the “minimum”, but lower than the highest proxy, I want my bid to actually register and raise the going amount.

That should happen. Let’s say there as a bid on an item for 5,000  ,and there’s also the proxy bid of the same person(obviously) on it for 20,000 . You bid 10,000  on it, and it registers, but then the shown bid raises up to 11,000 , or somewhere around that, to beat out your using the proxy bid.

There’s a message that also displays that says your bid was successful but you are not he highest bidder because there was a proxy bid.

Q) Why are the above special items?

A) ????

Q: Can I see what else a particular seller is selling? a la ET

Right now the answer is no, sure it’s a feature request but I think it would be a good question to add to the FAQ.

Q: An Auction just ended, and I was the High Bidder. Why have I not received my item from BidSquid yet?

A: Three possibilities.

First, if the Seller set a minimum reserve price for the item, and if your highest bid did not equal or exceed that minimum reserve, then the Auction has ended and your bid will be returned momentarily.

Second, if you were the High Bidder and you met or exceeded the reserve price, then you have won the Auction! Just give Bidsquid a few minutes to finalize the transaction and he will delivery your item via Tubmail ASAP.

Third, it is possible that a glitch has occurred. We recommend that if you have not received either your bid refunded or the item in Tubmail after about ten minutes, then please report this as a Bug.

Q: Is there a way to track my bids?

A: Yes, look at My Bids.

Q: If my item got sold, do I get my deposit fee back?

A: Yes, you do.

What is the point in you reserve price? If I wanted to sell something at a price no less than X I’d just set the starting price at X and be done with it.

Hovewer if i put an invisible reserve price – i;m just playing chances with buyer – which is kind of pointless if i want to sell the thing.

I’m kind of new here so I’m obviously missing something. Is it related to the sum kyonay charges for auctioning?

Q) I got junk for pwning a forum. Should I sell it on Kyoubai?

A) Not really. The only reason anybody would want to buy your junk is to make a profit themselves, generally meaning a loss for you.

Q) There is a thing that says how much an item is worth. How should I use that to determine what price to make my item.

A) I recommend aiming under that price, but over the price you can get at Ppwn Shoppe.

Q) Why would I sell it for less than I bought it for? If I do that, I don’t get a profit.

A) That’s not the point of Kyoubai. It is to sell your items to make some of your money back.

I hope to see less useless junk on Kyoubai now. Log in to see images!

People make profit all the time

Only because the buyers are idiots.
