What is Vending?
Vending is a way to buy and sell items on the Gaia Market.
If you have items that you have multiples of, or are not using any longer, you may want to sell them for gold by setting up your own store.
You will find that many items actually fetch a better price on the market than if you try to sell them back to the stores.
How do I set up shop and do my own vending?
First, you will need to obtain a vending pass from the Bank, located in the Isle De Gambino. A vending pass has a one-time cost of 1,000 Gaia Gold. Once you have a vending pass, you can add or remove items to sell, check on bids placed and customise your store page.
You can get to your store by clicking Marketplace, under the Community tab, or by using the World Map under the Games tab to get to the Isle De Gambino.
How do I sell an item in the Marketplace?
To place an item for sale, click the pulldown menu next to “Select an Unequipped Item to Sell“
Next, choose how you want to sell this item. You have three choices:
Both Bid and Buy: With this option, you are allowed to have users bid gold for your item, while maintaining an “Auto buy” price that you can set. When time expires on the sale, if there is a standing bid, the item will automaticly be transfered to the highest bidder, and the gold directly deposited in your account. If there are no bids placed, the item will be returned to your inventory.
Buy Only: This allows you to set an item for a certain price; it will only be sold at that set price. If its not sold when the time the limit you set expires, the item will be placed back in your inventory.
Bid Only: This option allows you to have an item that can only be bid on. This is usualy best for large items that have the possibility of going over a possible auto buy. Again, if time on the auction expires before any bids are placed, the item will be placed back into your inventory.
Next is the Auction Duration
This is the time limit that your item will be in the Marketplace. Once it expires, the item will either be sold to the high bidder, or returned to your inventory.
Next, fill in the Buy Now and Bid Price fields.
The Buy Now Price field is where you put the price that the item can be purchased at. If it is an auction, it is the auto-buy price. Remember that you do not need to use commas, if you do only the numbers before it will be accepted. For example, 50,000 will be only 50.
The Starting Bid Price field is where you put the starting bid price of the item you are selling.
Last, is the Minimum Bid Increment
This is where (if you are holding an auction) you can set a minimum price that must be placed to increase the bid. If you set it to 100g, and your item is at 1000g, the next bid must be at least 1100g, and the following would have to be 1200g ext.
When finished filling out this form, click sell!
Your item is now for sale in the Marketplace!
How many items can I sell at once?
You can sell any items from your inventory but only four at once. This is done in order to prevent abuse.
Where do my items and gold go when using the Marketplace?
Any items you are selling in the Marketplace are removed from your inventory, and put in your Marketplace Shop. Similarly, when you bid on an item in an auction, your gold is held in the Marketplace until the auction is completed — this is done to ensure that people don’t bid on items that they can’t afford and also to insure that bidders get their merchandise after winning a bid.
If my bid doesn’t win, do I get my gold back?
Yes, Gold is automatically returned to you.
What happens if no one buys or bids on my item?
If time runs out and no one bids on or buys your item, it will automatically be returned to your inventory.
Can I search for a specific item within the vending system?
You can search for a specific item by using the “Search Keyword” box. For example, if you were looking Mini Angel Wings, you could simply type “wings” and the search will bring up any items that contain the word ‘wings’ (Fairy Wings, Mini Nitemare Wings, etc…) . If no results are returned, it means the item you’re looking for is not currently being sold by anyone in the marketplace.
The default page for the Marketplace will show you the most recently added items for sale.
Does the system keep track of my vending transactions?
The system will send you a private message alerting the seller of the results of your vend.
When the transaction is completed:
- If you’re the seller, gold will be credited to your account.
- If you’re the buyer, the item will be added to your inventory.
