Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some questions that have been asked regarding the use of the Blooming Auction. 

A:  Feedback can be left by clicking the "leave feedback" button on any closed auction page.  Feedback on this auction site is item specific.  One feedback comment for each successful transaction can be left.  Only the two users involved in the transaction can leave feedback for each other. 

To leave feedback, users must be logged in.  Closed auctions (displaying the feedback button) can be found by searching the item #, clicking on the item # in feedback which has been received, or by viewing closed items on the "My Auction" page.

Q:  WHY DO I RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE when I try to log in? "Passwords do not match.  Login Information Is Incorrect!"

A:  You will receive this message if your user name or password is incorrect, or if your "Caps Lock" is on.  Please try again using lower case letters.

Q:  I can't seem to login to the auction.  What am I doing wrong? 

A:  At the top left corner of each auction it says: "LOGIN/VERIFY ACCOUNT".  They are two different links.  Users need to click on "LOGIN" not 'VERIFY ACCOUNT".

Q: What happens if I don't get an email with the verification numbers.?

1: There could be several reasons for this.  If you have a spam block on your computer the message will go into that folder as the return address from the auction program states "webmaster@". 

2:  There may be a misspelling in the email address you entered into the program.

3:  If you are using a yahoo account etc. they are notorious for blocking mail. 

4.  Forgotten the password that you had entered

In any of the above cases, just email, and I will be more than happy to help you. I can either manually verify your account using the same email address on the message you sent to me, or send you an email so you can verify with a click though to the program. 

Happy Gardening!
