| Q: |
Recently
we read in the media about a baseball that was sold at auction
for a substantial amount, and the high bidder did not pay for the item. What safeguards does
Create Auction have for its clients when it is time to collect
payments? |
| A: |
The
item you are referring to was not sold by a Create Auction client. As with
any online auction, there is the potential for the high bidder
to not follow through with their purchase(s). In order to
address this activity, Create Auction provides on the
registration form a place for new bidders to provide references
including their eBay ID. The references can be checked by
the auctioneer to provide a level of comfort that the high
bidder will follow through with payment at the completion of the
auction. Create Auction can also provide an SSL encrypted
registration page where the registrants billing address can be
verified against their credit card. For high ticket items,
Create Auction recommends that the auctioneer verifies the users
bank reference. |
