For Sellers: Listings & Charge

What types of items are allowed to list on orengeo™?

Although orengeo™ encourages a potential seller to list and sell a variety of items, we do prohibit certain items from being listed and sold at orengeo™ site. Please refer to the Prohibited Items Policy and Acceptable Use Policy for further information. Finally, orengeo™ reserves a right to update the above mentioned policies at any time at its own sole discretion without any advanced notification to the users.

What are the charges to sell my item(s)?

Please review the Fee Structure for more information.

Is the online auction the only way to sell my item(s)?

No, you have an option to list and sell item(s) through an option called Express Buy. Through the Express Buy option, any registered buyer can simply purchase the item without waiting for an auction to end. In addition, if you have bulk items but do not have time to list them on your own, you can contact orengeo™ and have orengeo™ list and sell the item(s) for you via online auction or offline sales channels. If you would like to get more information about how best sell your item(s), please contact us.

How do I get my money for the sold item(s)?

Once your item(s) are sold with winning bid(s) or through Express Buy, all transactions will go through our transactions processes to protect both the buyer and you as the seller.

For Buyers : Purchasing & Paying for Item(s)

Is the online auction the only way to buy item(s)?

No. In addition to the auction, you can purchase an item via Express Buy without any auction process. Not all items will be available via Express Buy, but those items available for Express Buy will be clearly marked as Express Buy items.

How do I pay for the item(s) I 've won?

Even though orengeo™ accepts all payments as a part of escrow process for all transactions, it is up to each registered seller to indicate what type of payments he or she is willing to accept for the item(s) at the time of listings. The acceptable payment types are credit cards (VISA, Master Card, and Discover), PayPal, and orengeo™ credit.

Can I place a reserve bid above the asking price?

Yes, you can place a bid above the asking price. Any amount above the minimum bid price will be set aside as the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the item. Until the current bid amount reaches your maximum reserve bid amount, you will be the winning bidder for the given item. Once another bidder places a higher bid than your maximum reserve bid amount, you will be no longer the highest bidder.

To place a reserve bid, simply enter the maximum amount you would pay for the item on the page that describes the item.

What happens when two maximum reserve bids are the same for the same item? Who wins the item?

If two buyers place the same maximum reserve bid amounts, the winner would be the buyer who places the maximum reserve bid amount first. The second bidder would have to reserve a higher maximum bid in order to win the item.

Feedback

Why do you we ask for feedback on sellers?

orengeo™ requests that all buyers provide feedback on the item(s) they purchase. orengeo™ uses the feedback to not only evaluate quality of the sellers, but also release payment(s) to the sellers (please refer to Transaction Service Agreement for more information). In addition, the feedback will give the buyers and/or the sellers opportunities to review history of particular buyer/seller and to decide if they'd like to do business with that particular buyer/seller.

Can I leave feedback on buyers?

Yes. As a part of improving the overall user experience and making each transaction transparent, you as a seller are encouraged to leave a feedback on a buyer. However, unlike the feedback for seller, this is an optional.

How will negative feedback affect my account™ membership?

Each feedback will be used to evaluate quality of seller/buyer. If a seller or a buyer receives a predetermined unacceptable number of negative feedbacks, orengeo™ reserves a right to disable the membership to ensure the overall experience of the orengeo™ site remains positive for the rest of the users.

Shipping

Who pays for shipping?

The shipping policy is typically stated in the item description posted by the seller. In most cases the buyer would have to pay for shipping. In other cases, shipping would be free or the buyer will have to arrange a local pick-up. Alternatively, the seller can provide an option for the buyer to use his or her own shipping method, thereby eliminating any potential for over charging and providing a maximum flexibility for the buyer. Please review each item's description for more information.

Who will ship the item to me?

The seller is responsible for shipping the item to you. There might be instances where the seller requests a local pick-up only. In addition, when the seller provides an option for the buyer to use his or her own shipping method and the buyer chooses this option, then the buyer is fully responsible for arranging and delivery of the item. In such case, the seller is only responsible for packing the item and will not be responsible for shipping the item. Please review each item’s description for more information. If additional questions arise, please contact the sellers.

Can I pick-up the item(s) myself?

If the seller indicates that the item is available for local pickup, then the item is available for the local pickup. Each seller might have different reason for allowing or not allowing local pickup. So, please review each item’s description for more information.

Conflict Resolution

How do I resolve a conflict?

As a user of the orengeo™ auction site, you are entitled to file a dispute with the auction site if you are unhappy with the services provided. When you do file a dispute with the site, we request that you provide a detailed description of the “problem” to us.

When a problem rises between a buyer and a seller, orengeo™ encourages both parties to resolve the problem. However, we do understand that at times it is simply not possible to overcome the difference and to resolve the problem. When such situation does occur, you can file a dispute with the other party. Once the dispute is filed, a 3rd party arbitrator will work with both parties to resolve the problem. Please refer to Transaction Service Agreement for more information on how to resolve a dispute.
