Getting Started

 On this page we will try to answer questions on how to use our site and also about online auctions in general. 

 Once you have logged into our members page please feel free to browse the items, On all the descriptions it has a shipping cost, this shipping cost is what you as our customer pays us for postage and in turn an idea of what to charge your customers for postage and packaging. All prices include VAT, there is no tax added onto your bill at the end.

Once you have decided on what products you are interested in it is time to decide on how you wish to sell them, some people buy the products from us first then take their own pictures and write their own descriptions for the product before auctioning, others right click on the picture and save it to use in their auction and copy the text description. Customers who do it this way then wait till they have received payment from the auction winner, then order the item/items from us and we ship the items straight to the winning bidders address. 

 To place an order simply find the item/items you would like, fill in the quantity box and go to the 'checkout' link, when filling in your order form please remember to put your details where it asks for billing details and your customer's details where it asks for shipping details. Once we have received payment through Paypal (if this method of payment is not convenient for you please email Info@wantedbyall.com and we will arrange an alternative method of payment) your parcel/parcels will be dispatched as soon as possible.

Beginner's Guide to Online Auctions

Auctions can be quite frightening for the newcomer. Although it may seem overwhelming, an auctioneer needs to know only a few things to start out on the right foot.

Registration

Registration is necessary for all online auctions. This process is usually very simple, and very secure. However, auctioneers must be at least 18 to participate in most auctions.

Know About Fees
Although some online auctions are free, most charge some kind of seller fee.

Know Bidding and Selling Rules
Auctions are rigorously structured, and rightly so. Therefore, it is important to know what your given role in an auction involves. It is important to know what kind of responsibilities both the buyer and seller have in the auction relationship. These may involve bid honouring, payment or shipping. Not only is it important to know these rules but it is also important to know what could happen if you break them.

Seller Tips

  • Keep It Serious: You wouldn't participate in an auction with haphazardly written descriptions and poorly outlined policies; buyers will expect the same from you.
  • Keep it Concise: Avoid lengthy descriptions or worded sales pitches. Although these approaches might work elsewhere, they have no place in online auctions.
  • Include a Photo: Photos add to authenticity. Try to include one if you can. Remember to keep it focused and relatively compact.
  • Answer Questions: Include an email address and answer questions promptly and thoroughly. People will buy from sources that they can trust.
  • Finish It Up: Don't drop your buyers at the moment of purchase. Be prepared for follow up emails and inquiries. You may have the sale now, but you might not in the future.
  • Ship it Right: Don't rip people off in the shipping. Try to bundle items together and package them properly.
