Process: Create auction style templates
Flow
Objective
To create an auction style template.
Description
Using auction styles saves time when creating auctions. Auction styles are templates that automatically complete fields for you. For example, if you schedule Open Cry auctions and always use non-discriminative pricing, an auction style can complete the appropriate fields for the auction type and pricing mechanism, saving you the trouble of selecting these fields for each auction.
If some auction specifications, such as the product display template and the auction rule template, do not vary between your auctions, you can create an auction style that includes these values.
Sellers can create new auction styles, change or delete any existing styles.
Features
- Create auction style templates to be used for creating new auctions.
