For Sellers: How to List Your Products
As a seller on Local Best Bid, you can post your items for auction without needing to create an account. Each product you list will include several key fields to help potential buyers understand what you’re offering:
Product Name: The title of your item. Make it clear and concise to attract attention.
Product Description: A detailed overview of your product, including any relevant information like condition, features, and specifications. This helps buyers make informed decisions.
Product Image: Upload a clear and high-quality image of the item. Visuals are crucial in attracting bids.
Reserve Price: The minimum amount you’re willing to accept for your item. The auction will not result in a sale unless this price is met.
Highest Bid: This field automatically updates as bids are placed, showing the current highest offer for your item. It’s important to monitor this to see if your reserve price is met.
Bid Increment: The minimum amount by which each new bid must exceed the previous highest bid. This ensures that bids increase in reasonable steps.
Auction End Date: The deadline for when the auction will close. Make sure to set an appropriate timeframe to allow for enough bidding activity.
Seller Email: Your contact email, where notifications about bids and other important information will be sent. Ensure this is correct, as it will be used to coordinate with the winning bidder.
Category: Select the category that best fits your item. This helps buyers find your product when browsing through listings.
Meet-Up Location: Specify where you are willing to meet the buyer to exchange the item. This could be a public place or your address, depending on your preference.
Delivery Options: If you offer delivery, describe the available options (e.g., courier, postal service, local delivery) and any associated costs.
For Bidders: How to Place a Bid
As a bidder on Local Best Bid, you can place bids on products without needing to create an account. Here’s what each field means when you’re ready to bid:
Bid Amount: Enter the amount you’re willing to offer for the item. Ensure it meets or exceeds the current highest bid plus the bid increment.
Bidder Email: Provide your email address so that the seller can contact you if you win the auction. This is also where you’ll receive confirmation of your bid.
Bidder Phone: Optionally provide your phone number for quicker communication with the seller. This can be useful if the seller prefers to arrange the meet-up or delivery via phone.
How the Process Works
Posting a Product: Sellers can post their items by filling out the product form with all necessary details, including the reserve price, auction end date, and meet-up location. Once listed, the product is live for bidding.
Placing a Bid: Bidders browse the available products and place bids by entering their bid amount and contact information. Each time a bid is placed, the seller is notified via email.
Auction End: The auction ends at the specified time, but note that our platform does not automatically send notifications when the auction ends. The seller should check their auction status and contact the highest bidder directly.
Exchange: The seller and buyer meet up at the agreed location or arrange for delivery, and the transaction is completed outside of the platform.
