4. Auction - Bidding Auction System and Rules:
The screen of the Editor (moderator) desk is taken as reference in determining the validity of all bids placed in the auction. The editor screen is always considered a notary. In Endemigo, products can be auctioned using different systems.
Some of these systems;
For products with an announced opening price, the product will not be put up for sale before the opening price arrives. We announce the opening bid for the product and wait 20 seconds. If the starting bid does not come, the product is withdrawn from the auction. The product with the starting bid is now up for auction, you have the chance to raise your bid every 5 seconds. If there is no upgrade within 5 seconds, the server announces that a sold message will be sent to the buyers. 20 seconds after this announcement, a Sold message is sent by the editors. The bidder with the highest price right before the Sold sign appears is entitled to buy the product. In case of repeated bids, the first bidder is entitled to buy the product.
Products opened at a free price: Participants can bid on products opened at a free price, starting from any price they want.
Bid Raises: Up to 10,000 TL, it is increased in 100 TL and its multiples, 10,000 TL and above is increased in 500 TL, 20,000 TL and above is increased in 1,000 TL and its multiples. After 20,000 TL, an upgrade is made at the auction server's discretion and the product is sold directive is given. There is no counting of seconds between bids over 20,000 TL.
Products opened to Bought by Reduction Method: The price of the product is shared, the first person to say "I bought it" from the moment the price of the product is announced is entitled to buy the product. If the buyers do not write "I bought" for the first price within 5 seconds, the price of the product starts to decrease at 5-second intervals. The customer who best chooses the point where the product will be called "I bought" wins the auction.
Those who bid 2nd and 3rd among the other bids that came before the last bid are kept on the reserve list.
Products opened with Free Bidding: For products that have not been auctioned with a base price and are offered for auction with a free price, the person who bids the highest is entitled to purchase the product. Suppliers of products offered for sale with free bidding during the auction may withdraw their products and give up selling them after the auction by paying the penalty commission determined by Endemigo before the auction. For products opened with a free bid, the buyer is entitled to purchase the product after the suppliers approve the sales price of those products after the auction.
