Bid
Wars:
It is rare, but on occasion, multiple users will bid on
the same auction. This situation is pretty uncommon and
although this does not increase the cost of the auction
(because it uses our same YHJ ID), it sill raises the maximum
bid. Under normal circumstances the cost of the auction
would go up and up and up because of the bidding war. However,
we found a way to save you some money!
Our
example auction is currently at 8,000 yen and user #1
is currently the high bidder with a max of 10,000 yen.
User number #2 decided's they want to try for the item,
and bids 15,000 yen. The auction ends, and user #2 wins,
however; the auction amount is still at 8,000 yen! Why?
Because using our same account we simply raised the maximum
bid instead of bidding with another account......thus
saving you money and keeping the ending price lower!
However,
for this service we charge $2.00 per ¥1,000 (rounded
up) on the difference between the actual cost and the
last high bid you defeated to win the auction. So user
#2 would pay an additional $4.00 in commission. (¥10,000-
¥8,000 = ¥2,000) Confusing? Well, check out these
examples:
-example
#1:
Won auction amount ¥12,500
User #1's bid = ¥16,000
User #2's bid = ¥24,000
Bidding War difference = ¥3,500 (High bid defeated
- Won auction) or ( ¥16,000 - ¥12,500)
Bid War commission = $8.00
Instead
of paying the difference of ¥3,500 (apx $30.00) as
normal, you only pay $8.00!
-example
#2
Won auction amount ¥43,000
User #1's bid = ¥46,000
User #2's bid = ¥58,000
User #3's bid = ¥64,000
User #4's bid = ¥80,000
Bid War difference = ¥21,000 (High bid defeated -
Won amount) or ( ¥64,000 - ¥43,000)
Bid War commission = $42.00
Instead
of paying the difference of ¥21,000 (apx $178.00)
as normal, you only pay $42.00!
