FEES CALCULATOR - The fees calculator allows you to calculate listing fees for an item before you create the listing. Simply select the fees that will apply to your listing and click proceed. The selling fee is excluded because it is a variable percentage based on the total sale price.
PREFILLED FIELDS - Power sellers may find that they have certain fields that always require the same data to be entered into them. The prefilled fields section allows this information to be saved and automatically populated into your auction listings.
BLOCKED USERS - If you wish to block certain users from bidding on any of your auction items, you can add their usernames to this page. You can also specify the reason you have blocked them. Likewise, you can also delete (unblock) users you have blocked.
SUGGEST A CATEGORY - If you don't see a specific category for the item you are listing, you may suggest a category. This section will allow you to send a message to the site owners with your suggestion. There are no guarantees that your suggestion will be implemented, but we are always looking for help in making Aggieland Auctions better for all users.
Your reputation (feedback) provides an indicator of how much trading you have done on the auction site and allows other buyers and sellers to get an idea of your reputation and experience. For each transaction, both the buyer and seller can award each other a rating from 1 to 5. When you first select the reputation section from the Members' Area, you will see your reputation (or feedback) rating. You can click on the Leave Comments section to leave a reputation rating for other members with whom you have completed a transaction. Before leaving a negative reputation rating, please contact the other member and try to get the issue resolved.
