Once an auction contract is signed between i-Naira.com and a Vendor, we will create the following:
1. An auction room for the vendor will be created - VIEW AUCTION ROOMS.  

2. A landing page with information about the vendor and items to be sold will be created. VIEW CLOSED AUCTION LANDING PAGE
3. Showcased items are only visible to customers who have made payment to gain access to a specific private room. A room is viewable by the public if the payment required to enter the room is set to zero (0).
4. When admitted into a room, you can then see the items the vendor is displaying.
5. Physical viewing dates are equally communicated for customers who want to phyiscally inspect assets that will be auctioned. Only registered members can be allowed access to view assets.

On auction day the following is how a customer can successfully bid for an item.
1. When you click on one item, a pop-up app opens and gives more details about the item that you are interested in.

10. Time left captures how long the bid will last in hours, minutes & seconds.
11. The box for bid entering is where bidders enter the amount they are offering for the item. Please enter your figures without comma or space.
