Offer' button. Bob will be able to enter in his offer amount along
with a short message. Bob then clicks on 'Submit' to send the offer
to the Sally. |
| When
Bob makes an offer, he receives an email from AntiqueSpider confirming
his sent offer. Bob may track all offers made to sellers in the 'My
Account' section > under heading (3) Buying Controls > 'Offers'.
This is where Bob may track the status of all offers he made, counter
offers received by sellers, or declines, and acceptance. All correspondence
from buyer to seller, and seller to buyer are sent to the emails of
both parties as a back up and status reminder. |
|
Sally Seller receives an email notifying her that Buyer Bob made an offer on her item. The email will
contain the item name, the offer amount, and the name of the buyer. |
| Sally
may track and respond to offers from the 'My Account' section, under
the 'Selling Controls' > heading (2) > on the left side of the
page, > 'Offers'. link. Sally can track all offers made by buyers.
Sally may easily make counter offers, decline an offer, or accept
an offer. If a she accepts the offer, the item is removed from the
list of her active items, is made a 'Successful Item', and is now
awaiting her invoicing. Final step is to send the invoice for the
sold item to Bob. In 'My Account' under Heading (5) > Invoices
> Sales, Sally may send the invoice, edit it, and more. |
|
Note: Bob is aware that making an
offer contractually obligates him to complete the sale. He cannot back out of the sale at that point unless
both parties agree to cancel the sale. If Bob does not complete the
sale, he is subject to receive negative feedback from Sally. Multiple
buyer infractions or complaints of this type may lead to Bob having
his account suspended. |
 |
Note:
When Sally accepts an offer she is aware that she too is contractually
obligated to complete the sale. If Sally sends a counter offer, the
Bob may accept or decline the counter offer. If Bob accepts the counter
offer, Sally is contractually obligated to complete the sale. There
is no backing out unless both parties agree to cancel the sale. If
Sally Seller does not complete the sale, i.e., if she does not ship the item, she
is subject to Bob's negative feedback. Multiple seller infractions
or complaints of this type may lead to Sally having her account suspended. |
