GENERAL AUCTION ISSUES

We hope to provide our clients with continuous auctions.

Previously we had some problems at the end of the auctions. It seems that the server did not accomodate all bids placed during the last few minutes.

During a non-cyber auction, items are auctioned off individually. The item is not sold until every bidder has had sufficient time to place a bid. Only if no more bids are received at the end, the item gets sold.

We want to attempt to auction off our plants in much the same way. There is however one important issue that we have to consider: Because of different time zones in the world we are not all available to to take part in the auction at the same time of day. We have made an adaptation to ensure that everybody has sufficient time to place a bid regardless of their time zone.

RULES FOR THE AUCTION

  1. Payment for each plant won should be made by PayPal (US DOLLAR ONLY) within 48 hours. Unfortunately S.A. banks only accept US dollar payments from PayPal. Conversion can be done at http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/ or you can email izimakana@gmail.com and we shall do the concersion for you.
  2. After payment you may request us to keep the plant(s) for you until you are ready to receive them
  3. We keep approximately ten plants at a time on the auction.
  4. Every plant has an initial bidding period of 5 days. If a plant has not had a bid for the last 24 hours (of the 5 days) it is sold. If it has received a bid during the last 24 hours of this period, the auction time for this item gets extended automatically for another 24 hours. If it gets bid on again during this extra period, the time gets extended again for 24 h etc until there have been no further bids for a 24 hour period. Then it is sold. Not all plants will then sell at the same time and there should be no bottleneck scrambling at the last minute.
  5. In the (somewhat unlikely) event that the bidding on an item carries on too long, we reserve the right to make a cut off time for the bidding.
  6. Soon after a plant is sold we replace it with a new one.
  7. Because of the high transport fee and weather conditions, the buyer does not need to take the purchased plants immediately. The bidder may be required to pay for plants won in the meantime.
  8. For payments above Euro 300 a wire transfer is preferred and for payments less than Euro 300 PayPal (in US $ please) is preferred. If the buyer wishes to pay larger amounts by PayPal he/she is welcome to do so as it is more convenient for the client especially if more than one payment is involved. Unfortunately we do not deal with credit cards anymore, but credit card payments can be made via PayPal although I believe the cost to the client is quite high (?).
