When the ad expires, do you just click ? or do you have to do it again?

as the title says, I'm not clear on the validity of the 6 days, is it to keep it visible? and do you just need to click on the ad or do you have to repeat the procedure? I also have other Festool accessories (a trunk) is the emergency button available?

If you put up an auction at 600 euros or 800 euros for a power tool, it’s hard for people to bid if you’ve also set the buy offer option.

Instead, do the buy now with buy offer.

And your auctions won’t have the 7-day expiration.

If you want to run an auction to let more different buyers take part (compete), usually you use a rather low price, but I don’t recommend it because then you risk having to give the items away.

Good morning dav894195

I also have old memories of a time now long gone when items were put up for auction at 1 euro and the first bids started coming in from the very first days.

Bid after bid, raise after raise, you could reach respectable figures, sometimes close to the market selling price or sometimes higher than the item's selling price/value.

Today it is quite RISKY to list an item with a starting bid of 1 euro because there are few bidders and they are also good at waiting until the last minutes, if not seconds, of the auction, and by doing so the prices stay low.

There are also automated bidding systems that place the bid a few seconds before the auction ends.

Basically, each person places their bid a few seconds before the end and you no longer have time to think it over, to process whether to keep raising the bid or not.

You started with a high starting price, so you don't have these problems.

However, if you put 600 euros in the auction, I won't make you a buy it now at a price above the limit; I'll place the bid on the auction starting price.

In any case, don't use an auction starting price with a reserve price because you have to pay even if nothing is sold.

Best regards

Since they’re your auctions, after the expiration date you’ll find the listings in expired listings.
Just select them and put them back up for sale.
