or you can read through the instructions below
To list your deposit simply click on the Offer link found on the header navigational bar. The listing process is split up into several main sections, notably:-
- Category selection
- Item Details
- Auction Settings
- Transfer and Payment
- Listing preview
- Listing confirmation
- Payment of listing fees
The listing process is developed in such a way that you are guided through every step seamlessly.
The first part of the process is to choose the category you wish to list your item in, this can be revised at any time by using the “Previous Step†navigation button. Categories are divided into Days of Deposits, Type of Deposits (cash or securities).
Step two enables you to enter the description, a full wysiwyg editor is in place to enable you to use HTML descriptions. The Item Title has been disable so that all items will be consistent. There is also the input for Deposit Value - you need to input the value of the deposits (ie in dollar or other currency). For securities, you need to multiply the current share price and units to convert to value. They must be within the range given in the categories (eg 1-999, 1000-9999 as selected previously).
If you have a voucher code to redeem this can be entered just below the description field. This option may be available from time to time.
Moving on to step three, this is the biggest stage of the listing process. On this step you can set the following:-
· Auction type:-
Standard Auction
This is a single quantity auction
Dutch Auction
Dutch auction enables you to list a multiple quantity auction, for example if you have 100 deposits of same value to offer you can list all of these together in a single lot. Bidders will be able to select how many they wish to bid for.
· Currency:-
You can select your preferred auction currency using the drop down menu available
· Quantity:-
This field is only active if listing a Dutch auction, please see above for an explanation of this listing type
· Auction Starts At:-
This requires you to enter the minimum bid you are willing to accept, you can also set a reserve price to ensure you do not offer the item for this amount. Please see below for more information on this. Our system requires the Interest Income to be your price, ie the interest you expect which will be calculated as a percentage annualised to assist understanding.
· Reserve Price:-
Enabling a reserve price affectively means you will not offer the item for less than the amount set, for example you can set the start price at 5.00 but only accept winning bids over 50.00, should a bid be placed for 49.99 the item will close without a winner.
Â. Enable Depositee to accept fixed interest request or TakeNow(if available):-
TakeNow allows you to set an amount you are willing to offer the item for – straight out. For example you can set the start price to 10.00 but offer interested parties the option to buy the item immediately for 100.00 (by paying you this fixed interest income).
You can also list TakeNow only auctions, these auctions remove all bidding options meaning the listing can only be purchased for a set amount. To set a buy out only auction you need to set the buy out value to be exactly equal with the start bid.
· Offer-Range (if available):-
You can set a price bracket in which you are willing to listing to offer, for example if you set the price brackets from 15.00 to 100.00 interested parties will be able to offer you an amount within these brackets, you can opt whether to accept or decline these offers at any time via the members area. The range is not visible to the bidders as set by the Administrator.
· Bid increment:-
This option can be used to set your own custom bid increment if preferred.
· Item featuring (if available):-
The following options are available to you (fees may apply), these will highlight your item on site to ensure they reach more visitors:-
§ Home page featured
§ Category featured
§ Bold text
§ Highlighted background
· Set Deposit start/end time:-
You can either opt to list your item right away and set a defined number of days for it to be live for or you also have the option to define your own custom start/end time (which is extra).
· Private Auction:-
Private auction will hide the bidders identity on the item details page
· Image upload:-
There is no image upload
· Media upload:-
There is no media upload
· Auto Re-List
For convenience you can opt to have your items automatically re-listed for you, options are available to allow you to select whether the item should be re-listed if sold and how many re-list attempts should be made.
· Deposit Start
You can select when you will make your deposit from END of Auction date. By default we set this to 2 days (to allow transfer). Obviously if you choose to end your auction early (which is under your control) you can informed the winner that those deposits will only be available from those given dates. Typically if you end an existing deposit arrangement, the Bank may pro-rata your interest to you and/or set a penalty. So is prudent to check with your bank first before terminating existing arrangement.
For Securities Deposit Only
