CS Auction Rules

[star;]

Is it allowed if you send a bid, then the auctioneer sends it back changed? With pets added, without your permission? Since I've had that done several times, and it gets frustrating after a while. ^-^
Is it allowed? =3

If they did not like what you bid first and they change it, you can either change it back, adjust it to what you would want to bid, or cancel it. Just watch what you bid incase they slip a pet in that you do not notice. That's happened to me and I have canceled and sent the original back. That is when an auctioneer starts to step over the line from auctioning to trading.

Auctioning = receive bids of pets users are willing to trade.
Trading = negotiate the pets users are willing to trade.

Yea. Someone slipped a sorbet and a dogtag in one time. xD
thanks for clearing that up. I apreciate it. c:

Auctions without a specific end date mentioned will not be held over 1 month (4 weeks).

So are you allowed to hold an auction for a month without specifying an end date and then specify one and keep it going?

[star;]

Okay, I have another question. xD
I saw someone auctioning their ________, and then I saw another auction and I saw that the same person bid that pet in it. Is that allowed?

[!*Tawnystar*!]

Are you allowed to put lineart up for auction here?

Yes, it is. Only when the auctioned pet is a prize in an art competition is it not allowed.

Are you allowed to put lineart up for auction here?

Sorry but no. That goes in the Art for CS Pets forum.

I have a question.
I'm holding an auction for art as well as pets, so do I put it in art competitions or keep it here?

If you are auctioning off your art for pets - CS Trades - Pets for art/Art for pets
If you are auctioning off your pet for art - Art Competitions
If you are auctioning off your pet for pets - here.

Please make different topics since they are for different things.

Okay, one more question, if you don't mind.
What if the auctioneer accepts art as a bid, but they require a piece of finished work as part of the bid. And then, they end the auction, but don't tell you and let you continue to work on the art?
Someone did that to me and I'm not sure if it's allowed.
I sent them a suggestion with pets and PMed them about art. They give me references and I start to work on it. Some time later, I go check out the thread and find out that the auction was already finished. And they didn't cancel my suggestion or PM me to tell me the auction was over. They simply traded off the pet.
The suggestion didn't include the pet, so it wasn't automatically cancelled.
When I checked the thread, it had this on it.
Auctioneer: Up ^^
will end when Star !* has finished her art c:
Right under it,
Auctioneer:
Up ^^
With the rating of Star !*'s art, Savanna would've still won anyway.
So, the auction has ended.
Well done Savanna-chan! ^^
----
So, I'm quite positive they didn't forget I was still working on the art.

5. If you are into artwork - Do not use the pet(s) you are auctioning or bidding as part of an art trade/art competition prize at the same time you are auctioning it. Doing this will only bring you a warning because it will be concluded that you are scamming people out of art.

From what you said there, would that also be called scamming and could it be reported?
I can provide proof if needed.

I would advise not starting any artwork as part of an auction until you have won since there is nothing stopping them from getting a better bid and you would be out of a prize. Rule 5 is for Art Competitions where all entrants are scammed out of art when they take that prize and then offer it in an auction. If you had offered the art, it goes as part of the bid that someone out bid.

And if you are still working on the art and the other person hasn't confirmed any payment, I'd stop working on the art.
