Bidding Increment & Matched Bids
|
The bidding process has been improved and actually simplified as follows: Increment All bids must now meet or exceed the next increment to be placed. Bids like $35.01 will not win an auction if an earlier bid of $35 is placed, the $35.01 bid would need to meet the next bid amount so for example with an increment of $1, would need to be $36. This was requested by multiple sellers. Matched Bid On the bidding details of an auction, you may see ‘Matched Bid’. This is when an earlier placed ‘Maximum Bid’ (‘Proxy Bid’) beats a later placed bid of the same value. Earlier placed bids take precedent where equal bids are placed.

Adding Auctions
|
Adding Auctions works in much the same way, you enter the auction information, preview the auction and Add! There are some new features here worth noting: Aircraft Type & Keywords This field allows you to select an aircraft type which will help with buyers searching for your auctions. The field is free text so you do not have to select a type but you can do so and you can also add other pertinent keywords you feel relevant. If you do not enter a type or keywords your auction can only be found by its description so it’s worth considering this. Image Watermark We’ve introduced a simple watermark process that strategically places some text well within the image bounds to make it difficult for others to use/copy your image. This is optional. Feature Item Featuring an Item will also now post it to the AircraftSlides X account (formerly twitter). This will help increase the visibility of your auctions with a link back to the site when for example existing/new enthusiasts may be searching for items on Social Media. The image is hash-tagged (e.g. #F-4) by using text from the description, aircraft type and keywords data. Note: You can also now Feature an item after you have added the auction if you want to.

Shipping Info
|
New in the latest release is the ability for sellers to mark items ‘shipped’ and add an optional shipping comment, for example a tracking number. Buyers will see that an item/s have been marked ship and can read the shipping comment. If you used to email buyers after shipping items, there is now no need!

Invoicing
|
We’ve improved the invoicing system. It’s now even easier to manage the after-sales process. The system works in much the same way as the old one but now provides the ability to add in an additional invoice amount if required. Furthermore, when using the invoicing system you can fast-track leaving feedback on the associated invoice items as well as marking all items shipped (optional) Try it out after your auctions close, it should make marrying-up buyers to auctions a breeze!

Feedback & Member Ratings
|
We’ve introduced a new Feedback system and Member Rating. We encourage you to leave feedback on your buying and/or selling experience post auction closure. You can do this from the Buying and Selling History pages as a single or bulk action. You do not leave to leave any detailed comments, you can simply give a positive, neutral or negative response. The Member Rating gives other users an indication of how easy and reliable a member is to do business with. Member Ratings are derived from things like time someone has been a member, amount of positive feedback and whether someone has been blocked from bidding by other users.
