How its work
Step 1:
Registering to Bid:
All users must be registered .To register, click on the ‘Register ’ or ‘Register’ link displayed at the top of the page. After completing and submitting the registration form you will receive a verification email containing the bidder info . You are now able to use your bidder number, as well as the password you registered with, to place a bid.
Step 2:
What You Need to Know Before You Bid:
1). Read & understand the auction details, terms & conditions. Each auction has a specific set of terms & conditions – which can be found on the auction’s details page.
2). Read & understand the description, location, condition & pictures of each item of interest.
3). Bidders must understand & agree to the auction buyers’ fees, payment terms, payment deadlines and removal deadlines.
4). Bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect items and ask any questions prior to bidding.
5). Submitting/making a bid is a legally binding contract which requires full compliance by bidders/buyers of all Nelami.pk Online Auction Terms & Conditions as well as full payment by the final highest bidder, plus buyers’ fees, per the terms listed.
6). Bidders/users are responsible for their actions. If an entry error is made, bidders must call Nelami.pk at (0342-514-7309) and the error will be examined to determine if it was an error and if it can be corrected. Errors will likely not be corrected within the last 12 hours of the auction’s conclusion. If you are unsure how to bid or are new to our website, we strongly suggest you do not wait until the very end of the auction to bid, and utilize the practice items to practice bidding on first. Once the auction item has ended – the auction is final and bidding errors cannot be corrected.
7). An Auction Buyer’s Fee will be added to all high bids to determine the final selling price. Auction buyers’ fee percentage is determined by actual amount of the final accepted high bid on each item. Please see the auctions details page to determine auction buyers’ fee(s).
8). Bidders must utilize the “refresh” feature in order to get the most accurate bid amount on an item.
Placing a Bid methods:
a). Using the ‘Your Bid’ When a bidder enters a bid amount in the ‘Your Bid’ box, the current bid amount of the item will increase to the amount entered in the ‘Your Bid’ box.
Example -1
You have found an item you wish to bid on. The current bid is Rs 500 and you would like to place a bid of Rs 1000 on this item. To enter your bid you enter Rs1000 in the ‘BID NOW’ box; click the button. If your bid was accepted the current bid will increase from Rs 500 to Rs 1000 – assuming no other bidder has placed a higher Auto bid. Your bidder name will be indicated in the ‘High Bidder’ column. At this point you are the high bidder and done. If someone outbids you, you will receive an email letting you know you have been outbid. You may bid again, and again and again using this method, if you desire. Be aware the amount you enter in the ‘Your Bid’ box will be exactly the current bid amount.
b). Using the ‘Your Maximum auto bid’ When a bidder enters a bid amount in the ‘Your Maximum auto bid’ box the current bid amount of the item will increase to the next minimum required bid indicated in the ‘Next Bid Required’ column and the system will automatically bid on your behalf up to the amount entered ,also called “Proxy bid”
Example -2
You have found an item you wish to bid on. The current bid is RS 500 and you would like to place a maximum bid of Rs 1000 on this item. To enter your bid you enter Rs 1000 in the ‘Your Maximum auto bid’ box; enter your bidder name and password at the bottom of the page; click the ‘Submit Bids’ button. After submitting your bid the next page will indicate if your bid was accepted or not. If your bid was accepted the current price will increase from Rs 500 to Rs 535 (Which was indicated in the ‘Next Required Bid’ column.) At this point you are the high bidder. If, later, someone bids against you, the system will automatically bid for you and bid the minimum amount needed to keep you the leader up to your specified Rs 1000 maximum. If someone outbids ‘Your Maximum auto bid’ amount prior to the auction closing time, you will receive an email letting you know you have been outbid. You may bid again, if you desire, following the above procedures.
11). Increasing Your Bid methods:
a). The current high bidder can increase their bid by using the ‘Bid Now’ box – By entering a new higher bid in the ‘ Bid Now’ box you will increase the current high bid to the new bid amount entered. Example: If you are the current high bidder at Rs 500 and enter a new bid for Rs 1000 in the ‘ Bid Now’ box – the current high bid will increase to Rs 1000.
b). The current high bidder can increase their bid by using the ‘Your Maximum Auto BID’ box – By entering a new higher bid in the ‘Your Maximum Auto Bid ’ box you will not increase the current high bid, unless your current high bid did not meet the minimum required bid increment. It will only increase your maximum bid amount or create a new maximum bid. Example: If you are the current high bidder at Rs 500 and enter a new bid for Rs 1000 in the ‘Your Maximum Auto Bid ’ box – the current high bid will remain at Rs 500 and your Maximum bid will now be Rs 1000.
c). The current high bidder can increase their bid by using both the ‘ Bid Now’ and ‘Your Maximum Auto Bid ’ boxes (NOTE: This is NOT a suggested practice). By entering a new higher bid in the ‘Bid Now’ and ‘Your Maximum Auto Bid ” boxes you will increase the current high bid to the new bid amount entered in the ‘ Bid NOW’ box and will increase your maximum bid amount or create a new maximum bid for the amount entered in the ‘Your Maximum Auto Bid’ box. Example: If you are the current high bidder at Rs 500 and enter a new bid for Rs 600 in the ‘ Bid Now ’ box and a new bid for Rs 1000 in the ‘Your Maximum Auto Bid ’ box – the current high bid will increase to Rs 600 and your Maximum bid will now be Rs 1000.
12). Outbid emails are sent to bidders if they have been outbid or their bid has been escalated. Outbid notices are only sent prior to the auction’s posted ending time. Once the auction begins to end – outbid notices are no longer sent.
13). Refresh the bidding: Auction bidding and the auction time remaining countdown do not automatically update. Bidders must utilize the “refresh” feature in order to get the most accurate bid amount and time remaining on an item. The ‘Refresh’ button is located at the top of each bidding page, also when there is less than 12 hours remaining a ‘Refresh’ link is displayed under each items bid box.
15). Bidding Increments: All auctions use the bid increments as per their respective sellers choice ,please read carefully .
