π Auction Guidelines
Use SparkCoins: All auction bids must be made using your available SparkCoin balance.
Opening Bids: Each auction has a specified starting bid. Bids below this amount will not be accepted.
Bid Increments: Every auction specifies a minimum bidding increment. Your next bid must meet or exceed that amount above the current highest bid.
Public Bidding: All bids must be posted as replies in the relevant auction topic.
Genuine Bids Only: Only place bids you genuinely intend and are able to pay.
No Bid Retractions: Once placed, bids cannot be withdrawn. Please think carefully before bidding.
Highest Bid Wins: The member with the highest valid bid when the auction closes wins the advertising placement.
Sufficient Balance: You must have enough SparkCoins to cover your bid when the auction closes, not just when you place it.
Insufficient Funds: If the winning bidder does not have enough SparkCoins when the auction closes, their winning bid will be disqualified and they will forfeit the placement. The next-highest valid bidder with sufficient SparkCoins will then be offered the placement at their final bid. If no other valid bids remain, the auction may be relisted.
No Post-Auction Top-Ups: You cannot earn additional SparkCoins after the auction closes to make up a shortfall and reclaim your winning bid.
One Winner, Exclusive Placement: Each auction has one winner. Their advertisement receives the advertised placement without rotation for the specified period.
Advertisement Requirements: Winners must supply their advertisement materials, including images, links, and descriptions where applicable, within the timeframe provided.
Follow Forum Rules: All advertisements must comply with Spark Promotion's rules. We reserve the right to reject inappropriate or unsuitable advertising.
Fair Play: Attempts to manipulate auctions, interfere with other bidders, or place fake bids may result in disqualification.
π What Happens When You Win?
Once an auction closes:
The highest valid bidder will be announced as the winner.
The winning SparkCoins will be deducted from their account.
The winner will be contacted regarding their advertisement materials.
Their advertisement will be displayed in the agreed placement for the advertised period.
