why 2nd to the last bidder should also pay for the item he will not recieve? what if the 2nd to the last bidder wont pay?

3. All bids will be discarded if we are getting more than 15% loss.

then this is most likely a auction with nowhere to go if you didnt get enough bids?

Twist - second last bidder also have to pay for that this way the winner have to pay less than the actual price and if the second last bidder disagree to pay he will get a negative feedback and the auction is cancelled.

Yes i found a block though solo mining and it cost me 0.3 BTC so i can't afford to give it to you below that.

so your true minimum bid is 0.3BTC instead of 0.001BTC?

And I guess you'll use escrow, right?

#1 is terrible, so you get double what has been bid from the winning bid? Which takes me on to #2 you get double the winning bid but you will not accept less than a 15% loss? By what I understand you should have either sold 50 ltc with a reserve and out a really high price that is the twist getting double what has been bid.

Right that is good thanks for clearing that up. So the winner only pays 42.5 % which is a bargain the poor second bidder lol What would make this even better would be a much smaller reserve, but. It is your auction good luck! Here I will have a cheeky bid  :P  0.002btc

50 LTC as of now is 0.3719, and 85% of that is 0.316115. Based on your previous comment you restated that 85% equal to the last bid times 2 which is roughly 0.1580575BTC. Why didn't you make that your base bet if you weren't going to sell lower?

Yes, but then people will not get the fun of bidding.

Your fun of bidding will only cost spam since the starting bid is only .001

I suggest making it atleast .05 to prevent future spams
