  Old  Can't find a great design? MyFreelanceAuction.com !

It's hard, isn't it? When you can't find what you're looking for? I'm here to solve that problem. Recently launched is a new breed of website, which is quickly gaining lots of attention and extremely inspired replicas (). This website is:

MyFreelanceAuction.com

It's was launched a couple of weeks back and is already becoming a great place to find designs/domains, with hundreds of registered auctioneers already, and that number continuing to rise everyday, this may be the place to find what you're looking for.

But MyFreelanceAuction is not a community like this one, it's something much more special. It gives you all these features, all on one page:
  • View the design you're bidding on
  • Place a bid without registering, for free
  • Place a BIN price if applicable, and win the auction instantly (without registering, for free)
  • See live stats like when the auction ends
  • Read a description of the item, whether it's unique, and how payment will be received etc.
You can see the long list of items for sale by clicking here .

Also, if you're a designer/developer and want to sell something, take a look around, the homepage will show you how. Just remember guys, MyFreelanceAuction.com was the original, and still the best.

MyFreelanceAuction.com

Thanks,
Matt Dempsey

Nice idea! Anyway I'd love to see how many bids have been placed on any open auction.

Thanks for the comment. As of yet, 7 is the most bids we've had on any one auction before it ends .

'blindchild02' - When an auction has ended, it is the auctioneers responsibility to contact the highest bidder. Our system is set up so that anyone who has placed a bid has to be confirmed. When they place their bid an email is sent to their email address and they have to click a confirmation link, this confirms that their email address is active and bids are not submited by test@test.com for example. The auctioneer is then provided these email addresses to contact the winner.

Unfortunately if the email address you sent the email to doesn't respond, there's not much we can do. Give it a couple of days to allow for a response, but there's really nothing we can do. If they place a bid and then don't contact you, it's out of our control. The only thing we could do is make MFA into a full auction system like eBay and make bidders include their telephone numbers addresses etc etc - but then MFA loses it's appeal. It's no longer a simple system to assist people selling templates/domains etc. And if we did make it just like eBay, then why not just use eBay?

Also we want bidders to find the process easy. I personally think that if you post in a forum it's sometimes hard for somebody to bid. You might have to send a PM, email, IM message or forum post, which is effort. Especially if the potential bidder is not part of the forum already. I bet a lot of potential bidders don't bid because the effort of signing up to a forum is too great. So making it more like eBay kind of defeats the point of MFA.

I apologise if your bidders aren't responding, and I hope they will, but it's pretty much out of our control. If you have any suggestions you'd like to make to make it more secure while keeping it simple, then go ahead, I'd love to hear them.

I had the same problem as blindchild.. I personally dont care for bid systems.. getting a few more bucks out of a design compared the the first offer really doesnt matter to me.

I appreciate that might be your opinion Blaine but it won't be everyones. Lot's of people will want to get as much as they can out of their auction, and if that means advertising it more (which we've made easy) then so be it.

Happy Christmas everyone! I promised myself I wouldn't turn on my PC today .
