Wajas offers a system through which users can auction off their items for WC or CWP. This is another great way to earn currency on the site. There is currently no option for auctioning wajas, but this could become available in the future.

To access the Auction House, click on “World” 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 the item from the dropdown menu at the top of the page. All auctions containing one or more of this item will be revealed.

Creating an Auction

To create your own auction, click on "Home" and then on "Your Auctions". From here, 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. You then must go to your inventory (also under "Home") and click on the first item 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 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, simple 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.

Once you have added all the desired items to an auction, return to the "Your Auctions" 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 "World") 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.

Winning an Auction

Once an auction reaches the set end time, it will process the results. If you are the winner of the auction, you will receive a notification informing you that you have won the auction and the list of items won will be in this notification. 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.

Cancelling an Auction

Currently there is no way to close an auction before its end date. For this reason, it is extremely important to make sure you double check that everything is entered correctly before starting the auction.
