You also have the ability to modify the invoice by adding extras etc and then sending them the final invoice amount to the buyer. It's not compulsory to create an invoice when you sell an item. For example, if the buyer came to you and paid cash as a private sale, there is no need to create an invoice so you can just archive the sale. If you do this however you will continue to have a 'listing awaiting action', to remove this you do need to create an invoice but do not need to send it. If you have any questions contact us. 

Q. Why you was outbid by less than the bidding increment?

A. Bidders can always bid any amount over the next required bid. At times this results in a subsequent bidder entering a bid slightly above your secret to bid. You can click on Bid History to see all the bids and proxy / automated bids. Bids executed at the exact same time indicate a new bid and the automatic entering of a proxy bid toward the earlier bidders secret high bid. The first bidder wins tie bids and this is one reason people often bid in odd amounts.

Q. What is the purpose of the three minute rule?

A. Many people do not like the eBay model where people use sniping computer programs to bid the last literally second with no time for the prior high bidder to respond. A real live auction does not end at a certain time, it ends when the auctioneer does not see any further bidding (going once, going twice, sold). Snipe programs don't work with our site or any other site aside from eBay (due to market size we imagine). avantgardez.com comes with what called Snipe Protection which extends the auction if someone bids in the last three minutes similar to a real old fashion in person auction.

Q. Why can't I Bid?

A. Try again making sure you are logged in, enter the amount of your bid, click the Submit Bid button. Finally, confirm the bid on the next page by clicking the Submit button. If you are still having problems contact us. 

Q. Auction Bidding

Your maximum bid is kept a secret from other users. Your bid is a contract between buyer and seller. If you have the highest bid you will enter into a legally binding purchase contract.
