Online Auction Tips:
Here are a few tips to help you use the "Self Listing" auction at RodeoStockyard.com.
Reminder, if you self list your auction it is only a 3% Sales Commission.
When registering as an online auction user you only need to enter credit card or other payment
information if you are going to sell an item and you want to pay your 3% commission online.
Remember that the Online Auctions and The Classifieds are two separate systems and you will need
to register for an account on each one. You can use the same login and password.
.. The Dutch Auction will be gone soon, but until then, if you are selling a semen package,
just put one (1) in the Quantity box, then explain how many straws they are bidding on.
.. Put as much information as you can about your sale item and use photos. If you had
problems with photos in the past a fix to the program was just completed this week.
If you have any problems contact Mike or Greg and we will get your auction up and running, ASAP.
