The third is a drop-down list from which you can choose "Group 1", "Group 2" up to "Group 10". <br /> <br />Let's say that you are after a particular widget, but you don't want to pay more than 100 pounds/dollars/zloty/shekels/whatever for one. We'll also use "Group 3" (for no particular reason - you could choose any number) for this exercise. <br /> <br />As you find examples of the widget on eBay, you would enter them in to Gixen, giving the eBay number, your maximum bid (which might vary from widget to widget depending on condition, shipping charges, currency, etc) and selecting Group 3 from the drop-down. <br /> <br />When you have done this, you will have a number of auctions in Gixen - and under the auction number, on the left hand side, you will see "Group : 3". <br /> <br />When the first auction reaches its conclusion, Gixen will bid for you. If you win the auction, Gixen will cancel all the other bids in Group 3 (you only wanted to buy one widget, remember). If, on the other hand, you are outbid, then Gixen will wait and bid on the second auction in the group. It will keep on doing this until you have won a widget (or it runs out of auctions to bid on - in which case you have either been very unlucky or unrealistic in your expectations of how cheaply you can buy a widget!) <br /> <br />Hope that this makes sense.</span></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Koninda</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2015 6:17 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>mario wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Johann, it's very simple.

But I don't know how to set up a group. I haven't been able to find any instructions, help, or guidance. This topic seems like it ought to cover the subject, but like everything else in Support, it assumes that the reader knows how, or will figure it out without any guidance. Perhaps it seems obvious to everyone else, but it isn't obvious to me. If it is obvious, then it ought to be easy to explain in a sentence or two. <br /> <br />Is there a place on the site with simple instructions to simple activities?
