NownowSales Bidding and Buying Help

At NownowSales, we aim to provide all our sellers a seamless and enjoyable bidding and buying experience. This guide outlines the processes, tips, and best practices for successfully navigating our platform. By participating in bidding and buying on NownowSales, you agree to comply with these guidelines.

1. Getting Started with Bidding

a. Understanding Auctions

• Auction Format: Items listed in auction format allow buyers to place bids. The highest bid at the end of the auction wins the item.

• Starting Price: Sellers set a starting price, which is the minimum bid amount.

• Reserve Price: Some auctions have a reserve price, which is the minimum price the seller is willing to accept. If the reserve price is not met, the item will not be sold.

b. Placing a Bid

• Finding Auctions: Browse or search for items listed in auction format.

• Placing Bids: Enter your maximum bid amount. NownowSales will automatically increase your bid incrementally to keep you in the lead, up to your maximum bid.

• Winning an Auction: If you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction, you win the item and are obligated to complete the purchase.

c. Tips for Successful Bidding

• Set a Budget: Decide your maximum bid amount before participating in an auction.

• Monitor Auctions: Keep track of your bids and monitor the auction's progress. You can set up alerts to notify you if you are outbid.

• Bid Strategically: Consider placing your maximum bid early or waiting until the auction is about to end (sniping) to increase your chances of winning.

2. Fixed Price Buying

a. Buy It Now

• Immediate Purchase: Items listed with a Buy It Now option can be purchased immediately at the listed price without waiting for an auction to end.

• Adding to Cart: Add items to your cart and proceed to checkout to complete the purchase.

b. Best Offer

• Negotiation: Some listings allow you to make an offer lower than the Buy It Now price. The seller can accept, reject, or counter your offer.

• Offer Limits: You may have a limited number of offers you can make per item. Use them wisely to negotiate the best price.

3. Payment and Checkout

a. Payment Methods

• Accepted Payments: NownowSales accepts various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, PayPal, and other options specified at checkout.

• Secure Payments: All transactions are processed securely to protect your payment information.

b. Checkout Process

• Review Order: Before completing your purchase, review your order details, including item price, shipping costs, and any applicable taxes.

• Complete Payment: Follow the prompts to enter your payment information and complete the checkout process.

4. Managing Purchases
