About STANDARD Auctions

The Stop The Drop Standard Auction provides the facility for sellers to upload their own goods for sale by paying a small upfront fixed price of either a £1.95 or £2.95 entry fee through PayPal with no commission charged. For information on fee’s please see the Selling on Standard Auction section on the Terms & Conditions link below

Alternatively a £5.95 payment can be made to receive 10 uploads. The uploads must be used within 7 days and your ‘Account’ area will be credited with this option once payment has been received. Payment for this option is setup for Paypal but we also accept other payment methods. Please contact questions@stopthedropauction.com for further information on this.

Each lot offered for sale on the Stop The Drop Standard Auction will appear for sale for an individual 2 week period. The highest and lowest prices together with the daily drop price will be clearly shown. Items can be purchased at the highest price by activating the green button. The drop part of the auction will start on the eighth day and the price will fall by one daily drop price each day for the last seven days.

During the drop part of the auction a white arrow will appear on the green button to show that the price is dropping. When a lot has been stopped at either the highest price or during the drop period and once the buyers details have been successfully completed on the purchase forms a red stop button will show until the end of the auction.

In the event of the purchase forms not being completed correctly within the 5 minute time limit the red button will not appear and the lot will continue to be available for purchase.

The successful buyer will be emailed confirmation of the sale together with the sellers details and the buyers details emailed to the seller. This will enable the two parties to contact each other in order to complete the transaction.

* Please note: 4 weeks will be classed as 30 days from the day you sign up to the scheme.
