To use any of the screens under the Sell button you must have logged in using the Log In button.

Each of the buttons are explained below:

'Add New Items And  Categories'
There are a number of things you can do on this screen.
  1. You can view all the categories that are listed on your account. Any items that buyers are looking for that are listed in your categories will be identified and initially you will be emailed to inform you of the buyer's interest. Each week you will only receive the number of emails you specified when you registered.
  2. You can use the Text Entry search, or the Category drop down box search to select a new category. The Category search allows you to choose predefined categories that you can then add these categories to your account. You will then receive buyer's requests from these additional categories.
  3. You can suggest new categories and if bideasi adds your suggestion to the list of categories you may then add this new category to your account.
  4. It is possible to submit new items to bideasi ( these maybe items that you want to sell on a regular basis ). Listing your items with bideasi will greatly increase the chance that a buyer will make a request for that item
  5. bideasi is the only auction website where you can feature video clips of your products

Add Multiple Seller Categories
Search for categories by entering in a key word ( usually the fewer words the better ). Press Search or Multiple Search, Multiple Search will normally return more options. A list of possible categories will be listed.
You can select any of these categories. Once you have made your choice press the Confirm button. Finally, to add your chosen categories to your Current Sellers Categories press the
'Add These Categories To Your Account' button. Your newly added categories will now be shown under 'Your Categories'
   
Update Catalogue
Items
Select a country to show the items that you have added to the bideasi Catalogue. You can then select any of your items to display their details. To alter the item amend any detail of the item and then click on the Update Item button.
   
'New Buy Items'
This screen lists all buy items that you can make new price offers on.
The procedure on this screen is similar to the 'Revise Item' screen. The difference on this screen is that you have not yet made any price offers for the items listed.

The following options are available on this screen:

  1. Make new price offers. Your default delivery charge will be set for each new offer, but this can be changed later if necessary
  2. Display more detailed information about the buy item
  3. Buyers can be reported for setting unrealistic starting prices
  4. Guide prices can be reported as incorrect
   
'Revise Item'
To show a list of buy items with your current price offers select the country where the buy items were advertised. This will reveal a list of your personal price offers for buy items in the selected country.
Now you can either revise your price offers, or you can 'Report The Buyer'.
Sellers should only 'Report Buyers' when the seller believes the buyer has set the starting price of the buy items seriously lower than the guide price of the item. You will need to provide some proof of the expected guide price. This can be a web address displaying the item and a price, or a contact number of a company that sells the item.
It is important to 'Report Buyers' when unrealistic starting prices are made because:
  1. This will reduce the number of such buyers filling up your email inbox and your sellers account
  2. Improves the profit margins for your selling items
  3. Encourages serious buyers and discourages non-serious buyers
  4. Assists bideasi in providing a better service for buyers and sellers
Click on any of the listed items to display more detailed information about the buy item, or to change the delivery price, or to report incorrect guide prices. Note: Guide Prices for any items can also be set by any registered customer, as well as bideasi. If a guide price is incorrect it maybe out of date because the price hasn't been updated for a long time.
   
Search For Buy Items
Sellers don't have to wait until a buyer enters a buy item into one of a sellers categories; sellers can search individual categories for buy items. So, if a seller wants to search for any buy items that may not normally fall into their list of categories, this can be done on this screen.
For example, if you are a seller and you normally sell TV's you would add this category to your main categories, to ensure you are emailed when any buy items are entered into this category. But if you have a few miscellaneous items that you want to sell, that for example, fall into the cosmetics category, you can use this screen to search for any buyers who are looking for similar items.
There are a number of options available on this screen. You can enter new offer prices for any buy item, 'Report The Buyer' if the starting price set by the buyer is unrealistic. If you click on a buy item more detailed information will be displayed on another screen. On this screen you can 'Change Delivery' and report an 'Incorrect Guide Price'.
   
Advanced Buy Item Search
Use Text Entry search, or the Category drop down box search to select a category. You can then choose an additional criteria to search by, including 'When Buy Item End', 'Price Range' of the item,  and / or the 'Country' that the buy item was listed in. Press 'Show Buy Items' which will list all         buy items that match the criteria specified.
As previously described ,similar functions are available here as in 'Revise Item' and 'New Buy Items'. You can now click on any of the items listed to display more detailed information about the item, 'Report The Buyer', or make an offer on any buy items Click on 'Revise Offer Prices' button when you entered all the offers you want to make.

The higher the combined feedback rate the more preferential selling fees you will receive.

bideasi Watch
Although bideasi does work very hard to remove any listings that break any of our rules. It is impossible for bideasi to catch every single listing that breaks one of our rules. That is why bideasi automatically track listings and invites our members to report individual listings that are breaking our rules, but not even these measures ensure all listings comply with our rules.
This is where bideasi Watch becomes important. A bideasi Watch member can enter up to 20 keywords or keyphrases, which are used to search all listings. If the listing contains any of the keywords or keyphrases an email is sent to the member of the listing. If the member believes any rule has been broken the listing can be reported to bideasi. bideasi will then review the listing and remove it if it is agreed rules have been broken.
There are fees for joining and using bideasi Watch. Please see fees for current charges.
