NEW AUCTION INSTRUCTIONS - STEP BY STEP GUIDE

Sellers list items free of charge. Each lot will be auctioned for 30 days from the date of entry.  When sold, the Seller sends the item directly to the winning bidder using a tracked service, and sends a copy of the posting receipt to the Auctioneer. The proceeds of the sale are sent to the Seller once the Buyer has received the item.
