| Trading in
Auction |
| Auction is
the process of buying and selling goods by offering them up for bid,
taking bids, and then selling the item to the winning bidder. On
ePtoP.com platform, an auction item owner can set a starting price,
and specify a given bidding period for buyers to bid. The bidding
price always goes bottom-up. Basically, a simple bidding rule is
that a buyer with a higher bidding price will become the auction
item winner. When the bidding time is end, the winner and the seller
will get an email of trade notification. Seller and buyer can
communicate with each other, and exchange the auction product and
payment. |

higher bidding price. Last price

greater or equal to the sum of the last
bidding price and a increment amount. A success
bidder will become the last winner, and the bidding price will be
the last bidding price. AutoBid is
bidding with a limit price.
Bidder sets a price limit for his bid. If other bidder bids the
selling item with an acceptable bidding price, and the price is
lower than the limit price. The system will automatically help you
to put a bid with a price as the sum of current bidding price and
the current increment. During the bidding process, the limit price
will be not displayed in bidding history.

click bid. Just a click, you will bid the auction
item with a price at the sum of last bidding price and increment. It
is a quick bidding mode. BuyNow
