How to Sell

After winning a bid, you own a product. To make a profit, you need to sell it. The new system gives you control over your sell: you set your desired profit and your price flexibility. The system then evaluates your sell within 24 hours.

Initiating a Sell

You can initiate a sell at any time. You do not need to wait for a session.

1. Go to your product inventory and find the product you want to sell.
2. You will see three fields: Profit Margin (%), Accept Below (%), and Accept Above (%).
3. Set your values (see below).
4. Review the price range summary that updates as you type.
5. Click "Place Sell Order."

Your sell is now queued. It will be processed within 24 hours.

The Three Sell Parameters

Profit Margin (%)

This is the profit you want to make, expressed as a percentage of the product value.

Example: You own a product worth $100. You set a profit margin of 5%. Your asking price becomes $105.

The form shows your asking price in real time as you adjust this field.

Accept Below (%)

This is the lowest you are willing to accept below your asking price. Think of it as your downside flexibility.

Example: Your asking price is $105 and you set Accept Below at 5%. That means 5% of $105 = $5.25. You would accept a price as low as $99.75.

A higher value means you are more flexible. Setting this to 0% means you only accept your exact asking price or higher.

Accept Above (%)

This is the highest you are willing to accept above your asking price.

Example: Your asking price is $105 and you set Accept Above at 5%. That means 5% of $105 = $5.25. You would accept a price as high as $110.25.

Setting a reasonable value here does not hurt you. It simply defines the upper bound.

Practical Advice

A common starting strategy: set your profit margin at 3 to 5%, Accept Below at 3 to 5%, and Accept Above at 3 to 5%. This gives the system room to find a workable price while keeping your profit in a comfortable range. Adjust based on your experience.

The Price Range Summary

As you fill in the three fields, a summary box updates in real time showing:

• Your asking price
• The minimum price you would accept (based on Accept Below)
• The maximum price you would accept (based on Accept Above)
• The total range for your quantity

Review this summary carefully before submitting.

The 24-Hour Evaluation

After you submit, the system processes your sell within 24 hours. During this period, your product remains in your inventory and you cannot submit another sell on the same product.

When evaluation completes, you will see the result in your sell history. If successful, your account is credited. If not, you keep the product and can submit again.

Why Sells Sometimes Do Not Go Through

The trading system evaluates sells competitively. Not every sell can be approved in every evaluation cycle. If your sell is not approved:

• You keep the product.
• Your balance is not affected.
• You can submit a new sell immediately.
• Consider adjusting your parameters. A lower margin or wider Accept Below can improve your chances.

This is a normal part of trading. Keep at it.

What Happens After a Successful Sell

When your sell is approved:

1. The product is removed from your inventory.
2. Your account is credited with the fill price for your quantity.
3. The fill price may differ slightly from your asking price (it will always be within the range you set).
4. Your profit is calculated and recorded.
5. Any applicable referral commissions are processed.

Example Walkthrough

You own a product worth $200.

1. You set: profit margin = 4%, Accept Below = 5%, Accept Above = 5%.
2. The form calculates your asking price: $200 + 4% = $208.
3. Minimum acceptable: $208 minus 5% of $208 = $197.60.
4. Maximum acceptable: $208 plus 5% of $208 = $218.40.
5. You review the summary and click "Place Sell Order."
6. Within 24 hours, the system processes your sell. If approved, you receive a fill price somewhere between $197.60 and $218.40.
