11. Now it is as good as done, now click on the box underneath "cache Auction" and then it goes on to preview. Here you have the opportunity to review your information again and check. If anything should be in order, click on "change" and correct your information. If everything so far that they can release it, so choose the Enable Auction Now" .
12. Minimum Price:  The point minimum price includes several features, which are: you have a high-quality articles that you want to sell by bid. Now, if such an article is not enough bidders place, the obligation the item to the highest bidder shall be given. Your article is for example € 800 value and the bidders are only 20 € met, the loss of money for you is very high and the article is generally gone. One can deal with the item "Reserve". Here you can enter a price at which you want to sell in any case. Example: The o.g. Article is used again, but now with Minimum price: Prices start at € 1, your secret reserve price (visible only to you, not for the bidder) is as 650 €, the buyout price at 800 €. Now comes a bidder goes to "buyout" and immediately bought the product for 800 €, the auction is successfully completed. Same article, same condition, but this time will be offered normal, with the first bid falls off the buyout price and it can only be increased by the bid price and the items will be auctioned. The first bidder shall deliver his bid (we put in our first offer a maximum price limit ahead of 100 €, too, is once again secret, known only to the bidders the price) The price increases with the first bid by the set command step. As a rule, is without the extra bid specifications now 50 cents, the price is thus at 1.50 €. It follows no other bidders, the price stops and at the end of the term given to the seller and the buyer sent an email in the following or similar is "your item has not sold because the reserve price was not met" That is absolutely correct and even if only one bidder has offered, thus preventing the minimum price setting, that you are now rid of your article for 1,50 €. Third case, the same condition, a bidder, but this time its maximum secret maximum bid at 700 €. By order of the price rises again to 1.50 €. It follows no other bidders, the item remains until the end of the period at 1.50 €, are still your item is now sold. Here again sent an email that is done in the following or similar. Your item was sold for 650 €. The explanation: The bidder is ready to be a maximum of 700 € for this article and would pay for other bidders to bid up to this price automatically. But even without bidders our system recognizes its maximum rate, and compares it with your reserve price. If his winning bid over your reserve price, then after the end of the auction accepted your minimum price as the purchase price and the auction ended so successfully. ! The minimum price is always a secret, the same goes for the maximum amount a bidder!

Congratulations to the successful setting of your article in Kouro..  Your Kouro - Team wishes you good luck!!

What is the minimum price and what is it good for?
