The front page feature service allows sellers to list their auctions on the home page of the website (in addition to the chosen auction category) for a non-refundable fee of 1.00 euro per listing. Here is how the front page system works:
The most current 30 auctions posted to the home page appear on the home page. As new auctions are listed on the home page, older auctions are forced down the page and then to page 2, 3, 4, etc. The duration of a particular listing on the home page and its position on the home page, is entirely dependant on the volume of auctions that sellers post to the home page.
For example, if a seller posts an auction to the home page, and then no other sellers post auctions to the home page for three days, the seller's listing will remain in the top position for three days. When three more auctions are posted to the home page, the seller's auction will get bumped down to the number 4 position. As soon as 30 newer auctions are posted to the home page, the seller's auction will then be bumped to page 2, and so on. Therefore, it is impossible to determine how long a seller's auction will remain on the home page. It could be a matter of hours, days, or even minutes, depending on the volume of auctions posted to the home page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The home page is a cached page. This means it is updated by the server every twenty minutes. Therefore, auctions posted to the home page can take anywhere between 1 and 20 minutes to appear on the home page.
