Xpress
 
How does it work?

All articles are displayed with one starting price that is valid at the outset of an auction. The actual price is concealed until you place a Credit. With each Credit placed, the price decreases, so the actual price is always less than the starting price - often considerably!

As soon as you have registered, you can buy various Credit packages (see above).

When you place a Credit, three things happen:

1. The actual price decreases by 25 cents
2. The current price will be displayed to you
3. You now have the possibility of purchasing the product for the price shown

Don’t hesitate for too long, or someone else may snatch up the item at a more favorable price.

Unique Bid
 
How does it work?

All auctions are presented for a limited time only. You can bid using any number of 20 cent increments (e.g. 1 euro, 2.20 euro, 3.80 euro etc.). The user who has placed the sole lowest bid acquires the item.

An example: several people have placed bids worth 1 euro, 2 euros, 3.20 euro, 4.20 euro and 5.40 euro. The amounts 3.20 and 4.20 euro were both placed once, whereas 3.20 euro is both the lowest and sole bid, and is therefore awarded the auction item. If another user places a bid of 3.20 euro in the course of the auction, this amount is no longer unique. Now, in our example, the 4.20 bidder would be the final buyer, as their bid is now the lowest single bid placed.

It is possible to place single bids, or to cover an entire span of bids (max. 1000 bids per span). However, in order to guarantee equal opportunity, only single bids will be accepted in the last five minutes before the end of an auction.
important notice:

If an auction does not produce a unique bid at its conclusion, then nobody is the final buyer and the auction starts again. If an auction results in a unique bid at its conclusion, the user with the lowest single bid is determined and then informed by email. The awardee can subsequently order and pay for the auctioned item in his member area (prices include sales tax, plus shipping charges). Goods are shipped by DUBLICOM Ltd., which is also the recipient of payments; items are sent as soon as payment has been received.

A single user may only be the final buyer in up to five “DubLi Auctions in one month. Therefore, once the member has placed five final bids (both lowest and unique), further bids will not be accepted. As soon as this user has been underbid in an auction, the placement of further bids is automatically accepted, until the maximum number of five successful final bids has been attained. Once a user has been awarded an auction, s/he may only participate in a further four auctions, et cetera. The number of awarded auctions, as well as the number of remaining auctions available in which to participate, can be accessed at any time in your back office. At the beginning of a new calendar month, the maximum number of five successful auctions is available to you once again. This is indicated in your member area in the form of a stoplight. If the stoplight displays, for example, a “red light”, you can only place a bid again in the next calender month.
Auto Bid Agent
Auto Bid Agent The "Auto Bid" is a new feature developed for the DubLi.com Xpress auctions. This feature will allow customers to setup individual automated bidding rules for auctions of their choice. It will allow customers, to have a comfortable way to bid on auctions without having to be online for the entire auction. With the Auto Bid in place, all the customer has to do is set everything up once and the system does all of the work for them.

Once a customer selects an Xpress auction and sets up an "Auto Bid", the system will automatically place single bids ("Show price" events) with the customer's specified attributes (i.e., 1 bid every 15 minutes) in the pre-determined bid intervals. The "Auto Bid" system will lower the price of the selected auction each time the customers "Bid Agent" places a bid, once the price, that the customer entered into the "Bid Agent" during setup is reached (equal or lower) while the "Bid Agent" is processing the customer's bid, the "Bid Agent" will also "buy" this auction immediately, halt the auction and record that customer as the successful buyer.

Upon successful completion of the auction the Customer will be sent an email notification. In the event that the customer was the successful bidder/buyer he/she will receive an email notification and will be given instructions on how to confirm and complete the purchase process and complete the order checkout. This will be exactly same process the customer would go through had they purchased the auction item without the auto bid.

In the event the auction ends and the customer wasn't the successful bidder/buyer, they will get an email notification informing them of that fact and providing a summary of auction details, including the number of credits they bid and the ultimate sales price of the auction. The credits left in the "Bid Agent" he set aside, will be released back to the customer's total account balance. Completed Xpress auctions that are sold to users by using a "Auto Bid", will display a new "Auto Bid" icon on the Completed auctions details page, to symbolize that auction was purchased by a customer using the new "Auto Bid" feature.
