Auction Help

FEES
There are NO FEES associated with listing a basic auction item on our website. That means you can list as many items as you want, upload photos, use spiffy HTML ads and not pay for it. When you sell an item, you will not pay an end of auction fee (value fee). However, this website operates through your dontations and, to a lesser extent, through advertising. If you find the website useful and wish to continue using it, please consider donating.

There are NO Fees for the following options:
Listing (insertion), Regular Listings, Reserve Price Listings, Dutch Listings, Buy It Now Listings.

EXCEPTION to fees:
For extra features, like bold titles, different color titles, subtitles, featured auction, etc. (see full list below) you WILL be charged a very small fee, if you choose to use the special listing options. Our choice was to either charge a small fee or remove these features, and we decided these would be useful to the most frequent customers. Besides, if we made that free, everyone would load up on special features and it would cause a visual smorgashbord, resulting in absolute CHAOS (raining cats and dogs).  You will only be billed (twice monthly) for any special listing options you used.  If you didn't use any, you won't receive a bill! 

DONATIONS: 
As we said, we operate on donations.  As you are creating your auction listing, one option presented to you will be to donate 50 cents to Bid4Critters.com.  If you choose to donate at this time, just check the box and you will be billed for it as if it were a special listing feature.  It will appear on your bi-weekly bill itemized as a donation.  Another option is to just donate at your convenience by clicking on the "DONATE" button on the homepage.  We use Paypal as our primary method of payment.  Thank you for any contributions you make!  But we won't hassle you if you choose not to :)

Note - Fees pay for the right to sell an item(s) on Bid4Critters.com. You do not purchase any exclusive rights to a Web page on our site. Bid4Critters may, in our sole discretion, and without your consent or payment to you, place third party advertisements on any Web page within our site.

Fees for additional listing options
When you list your item for sale, you can choose several listing options to promote your listing. Make it stand out and get more bids! These options also have non-refundable fees.

• Title Enhancement
  You can put the title of your item in boldface text or color in the listing pages.

• Featured Auctions
  Showcase your items and give them more visibility with either:
1. A Featured Auction listing, with your item appearing in the Featured Auctions section. It could also be randomly selected to appear in the Featured display area on the main Home page, in the Featured Items section of the category index page, and on the main category page.
2. A Category Featured Auction listing, with your item appearing on the first page of listings in the category of your choice. Your featured item may also be selected at random to be displayed in the Featured Items section of related category index pages.
• Gallery Listing
  Featuring your items in the Gallery section where buyers browse by images.
