CAC Auction

Q & A

So post your question here, now and after the launch.

I just registered, clicked on the link in the e-mail that was sent to me to confirm, and here is what was posted on the web page :

Your registration has already been confirmed or your confirmation has expired. You will have to reregister.

[CACAdmin]

Sorry you had a problem BadGuy, just checking to see where the error came from.

[CACAdmin]

Badguy, instead of clicking the link in the email, try copying (making sure you get the entire link) & pasting it in browser address line.

[_BaDgUy_]

Yep, it worked.

Noticed that the last underscore in my nickname was not underlined for the URL!

[CACAdmin]

Glad you had success this time. :thumbup:

from the forum no link to go to the auction

[CACAdmin]

You'll find the link to the Auction is under the Classifieds section: Auction (http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=63) :smile:

A question about entering prices in the listing process has come up so I will clarify it here as well as add it to the FAQ's on the Auction site.

Your 'Buy Now' price must be equal to or greater than your 'Minimum Bid' or 'Reserve Price'. This is because ’Buy Now’ button is displayed as an option only until the ‘Reserve Price’ has been met. After the reserve price is met the ‘Buy Now’ option is removed from your listing.

Is there a way to search expired auctions that are not your own?

[CACAdmin]

Not that I'm aware of but I will investigate and post here if there is.

Another question. I put in a reserve price but my auction says no reserve.

[CACAdmin]

Another question. I put in a reserve price but my auction says no reserve.The only thing which will show in the 'Browse Listings' until a bid is made is http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/ClassAuction/images/misc/nores.gif if in fact there is no reserve price. Otherwise nothing will show about a Reserve Price there until a bid is made.

If you put a reserve price on an item the http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/ClassAuction/images/misc/resnotmet.gifdoes show in the details, just not on the Browse List until a bid has been made. Upon a bid being made, it will then either show either http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/ClassAuction/images/misc/resmet.gifor http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/ClassAuction/images/misc/resnotmet.gif (depending upon the bid and your reserve price) in both the Browse List and details.

I hope this answers your question. If not, please let me know and I'll be happy to sort it out for you. Either here or in a PM. :smile:

[CACAdmin]

Pam, I tested one of your ads yesterday to verify all was working correctly by posting bids by 'administration'. As these were test bids and all appears to be working fine, they have been removed leaving only actual bids on the auction to ensure the # of bids and price are not artificially inflated.

If there are any other problems or concerns, let me know and I'll investigate.
