The Post-Auction Process

What happens during the post-auction process is actually rather cut and dried. Put simply, you contact the winning bidder with a final price; he or she sends payment to you; you pocket the payment; you package and ship the item; the buyer receives the item; and you both leave feedback for each other.

In checklist form, here's what you have to look forward to:

Checklist: After the Auction
