Card Cash Auctions for ALL Members Starting Next Week!

[mikesilvia]

We will be offering Card Cash auctions for ALL members starting next week, possibly as early as Monday. After the bugs are worked out, our goal is to offer REAL cash storefronts and auctions this summer!

Starting next week, this will allow members to list items in the Card Cash store as listings or auctions. Members will be able to list auctions with a Buy It Now (BIN) option and tons of other features.

All auctions and storefronts will be FREE for the BETA phase of this system, likely throughout the summer. We can't charge members Card Cash or real cash until the system is proven. Stay tuned!

Just updated the application with a advance search tool in the My Store tabs to better search for store items. CC Auctions only will be open next monday morning for all members to list or bid. Be aware that once you list a card and you have a bid, only staff can pull the card from live auction as soon as one bid or more are registered. We have a SCF Auctions Feedback forum where all sugestions are welcome.

If you need to pull a item because you made a mistake please post there and we will attend it. Since the system is new we will be very understanding at first and until we can define the rules for auctions. This is why feedback is welcome. We still have to iron out how auction will work. Since it will be CC only, be aware that the maximum bid + shipping fee will be taken from your account and frozen until you are outbid or win the item. If you are outbid the CC are automatically refunded to you once a bigger bid then your maximum bid is registered so you can bid right away. In the case of a win, once the transaction is registered, the difference beyween the winning bid will be refunded to you and the sale ammount with shipping will be sent to the seller and automatically a trade will have been created, along with the payment sent as well since this is automatic with CC.

The real store is not yet open even if it let you list cards, no one can bid or buy them. This should come soon during the summer. The latest test did not show any issue but if you encounter any make sure to post about it so I can have a look at it. Hope you enjoy the new CC auction and be carefull as many member do not know of the system yet and it may mean few bidder. So listing high end cards for CC might not be a good idea until more members start using it. My suggestion is to start with card you can afford to let go for not too much and take the time to gage the system and buyer potential. Since you can't pull a item unless staff agreee to pull it for you, be aware that once you list a card for auction, you are commited to let it go for the sale total.

Hope you enjoy it and please post all feedback so we can read them and imporve the system.

CC auctions only are now open to all members to list and bid. Please pay attention to the time remaining as your maximum bid and shipping will be frozen. So if for intance a auction is set for 29 days and you bid 1000 CC + 200 shipping, you CC may end up being frozen a long time and will only be release if you are outbid or when you actually win the item. I see a member already listed some auctions for 30 days so make sure you do check the time left before you make your bid.

Since this will be new, we will try to be understanding if you ask us to cancel a bid. Mainly all payment are automated and taken from your account the same time you make your bid. This is to make sure no one start bidding left and right with CC they will not have when come the time to pay. It also assure sellers they will get paid the CC automaticaly when the sale is done. CC are refunded automatically when you are outbid. Record of CC movement are all recorder in the banking section with in the User CP section of the forums. This section is called:
Banking and Loans

here some example of entries:
