Here's a step-by-step guide to listing an item for sale by auction, offer or buy out.
Most steps are the same for all types of listing.
1. Start by clicking on the Sell link on the main navigation bar:2. Choose whether you would like the item listed on the main auction site, in your shop only
(if you have one) or in both locations. Note that shop-only items will only be visible to
visitors to your store.
3. Choose a main category for your item. The active category list is indicated by an orange
border - each time you select a category, a list of appropriate sub-categories will be displayed
until no further detail is possible. Simply click on a category to select it: Once the category has been finalised, the
Next Step button will be highlighted:
4. You may select an additional category for your item if you wish. Some items fit naturally
into more than one category, and having an additional category can help more users find your item.
Riderstrader.com allows users to operate their own stores within the auction site. Selecting a
store as a favourite allows you quick and easy access to it directly from your Members'
Area, without having to search for it.

in the navigation bar:

the Buy Out logo.

You will be taken to a confirmation page showing the Buy Out price, postage costs andpayment methods for the item: Click Proceed if you are happy to continue.3. Your purchase will now be confirmed and you will be able to pay the seller's invoice: Swap Offers Instead of monetary offers, some sellers will accept Swap Offers - offers of an item of
appropriate value in exchange for the item being sold. The swap offer process works in a
very similar way to the standard Make Offer process.
