Wajas offers a system through which users can auction off their items or Wajas for WC or CWP. This is another great way to earn currency on the site.

To access the Auction House, click on “Shops” and then on “Auction House.” The Auction House is the list of all currently active auctions on the site, sorted by the end date/time. Auctions ending soonest are listed first. To search for a specific item in auctions, select “Filter Auctions” and search for the item you want. All auctions containing one or more of this item will be revealed. You may also look at item only auctions and Waja only auctions by selecting which you would like above the current list of auctions.

Creating an Auction

To create your own auction, click on "Home" and then on "Auctions". From here, click on “Sell” at the top of the auction page. Then enter the starting bid for your auction, the type of currency you want (WC or CWP), a description of your auction, and the bid increment (the amount each bid must increase by), then click the "Create" button. There is an optional “Buy it now price” that you may add in if you wish to offer that option. You then must go to your inventory or cave (also under "Home") and click on the first item or waja you wish to add to your auction. Select the auction option, and then select the auction you wish to add the item to as well as the quantity from the dropdown menu. Click submit to add this item or waja to your auction. You can repeat this process to add as many items to your auction as you wish. To remove an item from an auction, simply go back to the "Your Auctions" page and click the X in the upper right-hand corner of the item's thumbnail. Items can only be removed from auctions that have not started yet. To “Bulk Auction” items go to “Inventory” and click “Bulk Actions” at the top f the page. Click on the drop down and select “Bulk Auction”. You then need to select the quantities of the items you wish to auction. You may only use “Bulk Auction” on one inventory page at a time. When you have entered the number of items you wish to auction click “Auction” at the bottom or top of the page. This will bring you to a new page where you can pick which of your pending auctions you wish to add the items to. Once you have selected the auction you wish to put the items in select continue. The items will now be added to that auction and you may proceed by adding more items or beginning the auction.

Once you have added all the desired items to an auction, return to the "Sell" page, scroll to your "Pending Auctions" and click the "Update" button for the auction you wish to start. From here you can edit any of the information shown, choose the ending date of your auction, and choose to start your auction. If you want to start your auction, select the "Yes" option at the bottom of the box, and click submit.

When your auction has finished, you will receive a notification. If there were any bids on the auction, the winning amount is directly deposited into your account's on hand funds. If there were no bids on the auction, the item(s) are returned to your inventory. Auctions can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to process, so be patient when waiting to receive the notification/items.

Bidding on an Auction

If you find an auction in the "Auction House" (located under "Shops") which you would like to bid on, click the “Preview” button for that auction. You then enter the amount you wish to bid on the item(s) in the text box (making sure the amount is equal to or greater than the minimum, shown in parenthesis) and click the "bid" button. If you are outbid by another user, you will receive a notification. Clicking on this notification will direct you back to the auction’s preview where you may choose to place another bid on the auction.

The items will automatically appear in your inventory, at the same time as the notification arrives. The notification and items can take up to 15 minutes to arrive once the auction has ended.
