Frequently Asked Questions

Allowed: Links to your own website!
Contrary to almost all other auction sites we do allow links in sellers item description to their own website. We would like to tear down the walls separating auction and web sites.
We believe in the benefits of a combined marketing approach.
That allows you to link to documentation and manuals or items not currently offered by you on techbid.
We expect a reciprocal link to techbid! That doesn't need to be to the home page, could be the same or similar item or a store category, whatever you considers best from your viewpoint.
Occasionally we will look at the link-back situation and will send reminders to sellers with no return link.
Item prices on techbid should be the same or possibly lower then on your website since our cost structure does beat hosting and related cost for your own site. And we expect fair use resulting in benefits for both sides!
Penalties for sellers that are drawing traffic from techbid to their site by using lower pricing or other unfair ways do include temporary or permanent suspension of the account. We will refine this policy as we gain more experience!
Not Allowed: Links to other auction sides!
Currently other auction sites won't allow links in their item descriptions, consequently you can't link to your items over there from here. But we would consider a reciprocal agreement with selected sites.
Phone numbers in your item description:
Sellers can opt to supply a phone number in their item description, could be toll free if available.
A quick call can save a lot of time in some situations for both, buyer and seller.. Also, buyers will place higher trust in sellers they can contact more easily.
Our current category list is extremely short,
basically just tending to the technology focus of this site.
As a result you won't see a lot of categories here with zero items!
But there is a whole set of categories supplied as default, waiting to be enabled as needed.
If you are a seller just drop us a note and we will enable your category.

Or better yet there is a ' Suggested Category ' area on techbid. We would appreciate your input as an expert in your field of sales and will consider all proposals. You might this way just get the ideal category structure you always wanted! But there might also be conflicting ideas and not everything can be implemented.
Please keep in mind that our category structure is 6 levels deep. We would like to end up with master and subcategories in a logical and tree-like arrangement.
