On a Dutch Auction, the auctioneer has more items of the same product for sale. The bidder will enter a maximum bid they are willing to pay for an item, and the number of items they want to purchase. The highest bidder(s) will receive the number of items they have bid on, and the remaining bidders will receive the number of items still available. Buyers are able to bid more than once for the same item.

Once a sale has been processed, both the seller and the buyer will be able to leave feedback for each other. The feedback rating is from one star to five stars, and a feedback comment can also be left. The feedback can be left from the “Feedback” tab in the Members Area. Feedback can only be left once, and it cannot be edited afterwards. The site admin will reserve its right to delete malicious or untrue feedback.
