First bidder auctions allow you to set a start price which will decrease by a certain amount periodically until there is a bidder, or until the reserve price is met.
You will need to enter the start price, reserve price, bid decrement amount and bid decrement interval.

Enter the price that you would like the bidding to start at.

You can also set a reserve price to ensure you do not sell the item below a certain amount. Please see below for more information on this.

· Reserve Price:- (Optional)

Enabling a reserve price affectively means you will not sell 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 49.50 the item will close without a winner.

· Buy out:- (Optional)

Buy out allows you to set an amount you are willing to sell 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 50.00.

You can also list Buy out 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.

99% of Marketing companies and freelancers are honest, hard working, competent consultants and experts that contribute immensely to the success of many online businesses.

Please note that Webmarketers4hire.com is a listing service. We don’t have any direct affiliation with buyers or sellers.

As a result, we can’t guarantee transactions, provide an escrow service, or offer buyer protection on transactions.

We do our best to ensure all members abide by our terms of service, however

It is recommended to use your own due diligence when making online purchases of any kind.

For buyers, here are some recommended steps to help ensure a successful and safe trading experience.

Review the member’s feedback from previous transactions, as past behaviour is considered the best indicator for future performance.

If they have a website, take a few minutes to run an Internet search and don’t forget to search for reviews both positive and negative.

This includes blog sites like blogsearch.google.com, to see if bloggers have written good or bad things about them.

Ask the seller what their payment and delivery terms are before bidding.

This may include terms such as Milestone payments, Payment methods accepted and the delivery time frame of the service being sold.

If you don’t feel comfortable with their terms of service ‘don’t bid’, your better off finding a Seller you feel comfortable doing business with.

Exercise extra caution with high priced deals and auctions offering high risk payment terms such as Western Union, especially with international transactions. You may even consider using an escrow service to protect yourself. We recommend using only known reputable escrow services, as many escrow sites are fraudulent.

If you would like to use an escrow service for the transaction, make sure to Ask the Seller Before bidding on the auction.

Above all, Use common sense. If something seems too good to be true, it often is.

For Sellers, here are some recommended steps to help ensure a successful and safe trading experience.

Some people believe due diligence is only for buyers, but to reduce your risk, find out as much as you can about the person(s) bidding on your website auction.

Review the member’s feedback from previous transactions, as past behaviour is considered the best indicator for future performance.

Consider using milestone payment terms in your auctions and when bidding on projects. Make sure your terms are clear to potential customers.
