Cubicdissection Marketplace

Cubicdissection Marketplace utilizes a proxy bidding system. That means that when you place a bid, the site automatically bids the minimum necessary amount to maintain status as the highest bidder without revealing the amount of your maximum bid. You pay only what is necessary to win the auction within the constraints of the bidding increment.

All bids are anonymous to protect the identity of bidders. Sellers usernames are clearly shown.

Auctions within one day of closing are protected by an anti-sniping feature. Due to the international nature of the clientele, any bid placed within the last 24 hours automatically extends the bidding time by a certain amount the moment the bid is placed. Therefore, “sniping” auctions is foiled. A sniper bidding during the last few seconds of the auction simply extends the auction time, allowing the sniped bidder to reply. The time extension follows this table:

Overtime day 1 through 5............................24 hour extension

Overtime day 5 through 8............................12 hour extension

Overtime day 8 through 9............................6 hour extension

Overtime 9 days plus...................................3 hour extension

IMPORTANT: If an item is protected by a reserve, the anti snipe feature will not be activated unless the previous bid has met the reserve. To say it another way, if you place a bid and it does not meet the reserve requirement, the auction will end at the originally scheduled time, and will not be extended.

To place a bid:

When viewing the item details page you, you may place a bid on the item using the “Place a Bid” field at the bottom of the page. If the seller has not agreed to ship items internationally, and you do not live in the same country as the seller, you will not be able to place a bid.

To place your bid simply enter the amount you wish to bid (e.g. 50.00). Please note no currency symbols are required. The bid will be placed in the default auction currency ($USD).

Once finished, you will be asked to review your bid. At this time you should also review vital item details such as the shipping conditions before confirming your bid. To submit your bid simply press the “Place Bid” button.
