Tips for
Buyers
Buying advertising through TheBikeAuction.comis a unique experience.
This section gives you advice about how to best use TheBikeAuction.com
as a buyer. If you're a seller, read Tips
for Sellers.
TheBikeAuction.com
is a venue that brings together the website owners and people that
want to advertise on those websites.
All categories and auctions on TheBikeAuction.com are for online
advertising and domain names only. For example, If you would like
to purchase advertising space on a golfing web site then browse
the Sports >> Golf categories.
There
is never a fee for buyers. Once the auction is complete then
you will contact the seller and arrange payment with him/her. Do
not send TheBikeAuction.com money for an auction that you have won.
Know The Item You Bid On
What you see is what you get on TheBikeAuction.com. Therefore, if
a description of an item is unclear, be sure to clarify the item
description with the seller before you bid.
Protect From Fraud
Most of the items for sale on TheBikeAuction.com are offered by
private individuals. As such, these sellers are unregulated which
makes protecting yourself from fraud extremely important. Please
check out sellers by reviewing their TheBikeAuction.com Feedback,
BBSonline, and state and local consumer agencies to find more information
about them or their company.
Remember, TheBikeAuction.com is only a venue and we do not represent
the ability of a seller to complete the transaction or the quality
of the items. Therefore, if you feel at all unsure about a transaction,
ask the seller to escrow the item and payment. You should negotiate
these terms with the seller before the close of an auction. Further,
credit card payments may insulate you from fraudulent transactions
for items over $50.00, so this may be a preferred payment method.
Complaint
Department
If you are having a problem with a seller or you did not receive
what was described in the auction. First contact the seller. If
you did not getting satisfactory results then you can file
a complaint against him/her. The complaint will be investigated
and further action will be taken.
Be Courteous To Other Users
A little bit of courtesy goes a long way, especially via email.
Simply taking the time to write in complete sentences, with a salutation
and closing, can make a big difference in how you are viewed via
email. Be sure to treat everyone with the courtesy that you expect
to receive.
Grade the seller
or buyer.
Click the number to the right of the user name - [ Auctionuser
(3)
] and make your comments be known in the feedback. This is a good
way to keep a check and balance and to help keep our participants
in good standing. If a user receive a negative feedback rating of
five then their accounts will be cancelled.
Make Note Of Auction Details
Copy the UserID of the seller, the auction number, the item description,
and the time, date, and price you bid on the item. That way, you
can contact the seller right away to begin completing the transaction
if you are the high bidder. If you return to the site of the item
right after closing, you will see the official results. The e-mail
notice about the end of the auction is not sent until the following
morning, so you don’t have to wait if you return to the item’s
page.
Contact The Seller
If you are the high bidder in an auction, be sure you take the time
to talk on the phone with the seller, especially if you have any
discomfort about your email exchanges. Email communication is sometimes
awkward, and it may be difficult to judge another person’s
personality, honesty, etc., without having an actual conversation
person-to-person.
Also, many people do not read their e-mail every day, so you should
not assume someone is ignoring you just because you have not heard
from them in a while.
