Bidding Feature

[KevinVo]

I wonder how the bidding feature in Photopost Classified works?
I created 1 Category just for bidding option. I make Selection " Allow bidding on items?" to Yes. Then I uploaded a test Ad, but I don't see where to place a bid, basiclly I don't understand how it works? Is it something like Start Price, then Input your bidding price? Or something like Ebay?
Please explain to me . Many thanks for support.

If you have done all that when you upload an ad there is a checkbox to say whether to allow bidding or not. You must check this for it to be an auction. Once this is done it will allow bidding. Note you cant bid on your own item

Yes, I tried to upload an Ad, but I don't see any checkbox whether to allow bidding or not. So I am stuck.

Well if you do not see an allow bidding on item on upload script then in Admin => Edit Categories bidding is not enabled for that category

Content visible to verified customers only.

Gosh, it wasn't me this time, sorry Chuck.
Actually I only enable the bidding option for the Top Level Category "Fantasy Bidding" which contain No Ads, but there's some reasons it didn't apply the same setting for sub cats "Female Listing" and "Male Listing" which contain Ads.
So it all fixed now.
I noticed that for Ads which posted but forgot to check the Bidding checkbox when they upload the ads, then when they return to edit those Ads, they can't find any checkbox whether to allow other members bid on the Ads.
How do we fix this problem?

That would be because you only have the option to choose regular classifieds ad or auction on upload.

It is not a problem it is the way the software is designed
