Notes: There may only be one account per email address.  The system will not let you create more than one account with the same email address.

Note: Not all categories allow items to be listed directly within them.  Only those categories that allow listings to be added have an Add an Auction link. 

Once you choose the correct category for your item,  simply follow all the onscreen instructions to add your item.  All options that have an associated charge will note that charge when you choose it. Use the Help links if you are confused by any options. You can use simple HTML in the Description, such as formatting and links, but not complex tags for things like frames, forms, and headers.

After the main item information screen, you will be able to add pictures. Pictures will be downsized by the system to a max of 400 by 400 pixels. If you try to upload a huge file (over 500 Kilobytes, such as a file from your digital camera) you will most likely get a timeout and the image won't load. Use image editing software such as your digital camera software (use the save for Web or save for Email option) or Microsoft Photopaint to reduce the file size.

Once you have entered all the information about your item,  you will be presented with a preview screen where you can review all of the information you have entered and options you have chosen. Use the Back button to go back and make any necessary changes.  Do not press the Finish button until you are absolutely sure that all of the information is correct.  You will have very few options to change or edit any information (though you can add to it and make changes to a few items, see below) once you press the Finish button.

Once you press the Finish button your auction will be listed immediately and you will be presented with a link to where you can view your auction.

Cancelling the auction. You cannot cancel an auction. You can, however close an auction early. This will send a notice to the high bidder that they have won the auction. Closing auctions and not delivering the product you placed for sale without good reason will result in negative Feedback and may result in termination of your account.

If you must close an auction early due to an error you did not catch in your listing, contact all the bidders before you close the auction, explain why you are closing it and that it will be relisted with corrections, and then close it. You'll find a Close button for each auction on the My Auctions menu item >> My Auctions tab >> Open Auctions page.
