Auction
Watch
This feature allows your to register an interest for projects you want. When
projects meeting your criteria are listed, you will be notified via email.
Additionally, you have the option to make your auction watch public;
Auctioneers can use public auction watches to decide to list a matching
item.
Memorized Auctions
With a click of a button you can select any auction your are viewing and add
it to your list of Memorized Auctions. That is, one central place to keep
track of all the projects in which you are interested
Auctioneer Marketplace
In this area power listers are featured with a short profile and a link to
their current projects. This allows new bidders to see some of the most
trustworthy listers on our site.
User Ratings and Feedback
To allow users to feel more secure about
who they might be dealing with, users can rate and leave feedback on each
other. Our public comment system encourages honesty and fair deals since
problem users are quickly exposed. Since users are only permitted to rate
and comment on other users with whom they have conducted a transaction,
artificially inflated ratings are avoided.
Automatic Activity Email
We keep you informed of auction activity in
auctions you have bid on. You automatically receive email notices when an
auction ends and when you have been outbid on a project. You also receive
status emails to keep you reminded of what you have active on our site.
Special Views
ITC Auction provides a number of views, or
ways you can look through all the projects that have been posted. This makes
it easy for site visitors to find projects of interest to them.
Gallery View
The Gallery view allows you to find only
auctions that have images associated with them.
Multiple Views Within Categories
You can choose a filter to display certain
results within a category: New, Current, Closing Today,
Last Chance, Closed, Featured and Premiere.
Searching the Auction Database
ITC Auction provides comprehensive search
functionality and more powerful than ever. You can search with multiple
keywords either within a category that interests you or else within the
entire auction database. You can search for items by many fields and you can
specify as many or as few of these fields as you want. You can include all
the active auctions posted by a particular company.
Special and Additional Icons
Icons help projects stand out. There is a
HOT icon for auctions that have a lot of bidding activity. There is a
PICTURE icon for auctions that have an image attached to them.
Comprehensive Help
ITC Auction is easy to use. Since certain
options or terminology might not be clear to new users, pop-up help windows
are used extensively throughout the auction's user interface for added
guidance. By clicking on the help links conveniently located next to a user
option, you will see a pop up window with an explanation. A Buyer's Guide
and a Seller's Guide are also provided to help you familiarize yourself with
how the online auctions work.
Account Management
You can manage your own account details,
and make changes to phone numbers, email addresses, etc. You can also update
and change your billing information (new card expiration dates, change
accounts, etc).
Easy Image Uploading
ITC Auction allows you to upload images for
your auction directly to our server. This option is seamlessly integrated
into the auction posting interface. You do not need your own place to store
and host those files.
Optional Thumbnail Creation
When you upload images, thumbnails are
automatically generated to make them stand out in different listing views.
Auto Extend Closings
This feature allows an auction closing to
be delayed if there is any last minute activity.
