BID VALUE AND COST

EesAuction is a special value added deposit auction

Bid Value is the value addition cost and consideration for each bid that a bidder makes in the auction, which is clearly displayed beneath, beside or on the “Bid Button”.

EesAuction determines the bid value of each auction item, and is based on the Actual Value or Worth of the product or item.

For every bid made by a Bidder, the bid value is deducted from the Bidder’s e-wallet.

the bid value is non-refundable. The Bidder may click as many times as he desires; the more strategically he bids, the better his chances of winning the auction, but the is advised to be strategic in his bids.

EesAuction is time-based auction that commences and terminates at a particular time, therefore the timing for entry into the auction is a critical factor in bid process:

A Bidder may wish to join the auction and bid only at the last minute or second, it is the Bidder’s choice.

Each auction time (duration) is divided into three (3) segments. For example:

for an auction with one (1) minute duration, the time is divided as follows: First fifty percent (50%) of the auction duration (second 1 to second 30) is referred to as “the Wiseman Entry” period (First Segment);

The following thirty-three point three percent (33.3%) of the auction duration (second 31 to second 50) is the “Smooth Roll” period (Second Segment);

The last sixteen point seven percent (16.7%) of the auction duration (second 51 to second 60) is the “Super-Premium” period (Third Segment);

A Bidder who joins the auction within “the Wiseman Entry” period (First Segment) attracts and is entitled to the normal bid value (1x) per bid throughout the auction.

A Bidder who joins the auction within the “Smooth Roll” period (Second Segment) attracts twice (2x) the bid value per bid throughout the auction.

A Bidder who joins the auction within the “Super-Premium” period (Third Segment) attracts thrice (3x) the bid value per bid throughout the auction.
