How to Sell

After winning a bid, you own a product. To make a profit, you need to sell it. The system gives you control over your sell: you set your desired profit and your price flexibility. Once you place a sell order, it is processed within 24 hours.

Placing a Sell Order

You can place a sell order at any time. You do not need to wait for a session.

1. Go to your product inventory and find the product you want to sell.
2. You will see three fields: Profit Margin (%), Recess (%), and Excess (%).
3. Set your values (see below).
4. Review the price range summary that updates as you type.
5. Click "Place Sell Order."

Your sell order is now queued. A 24-hour processing window begins from the moment you submit it. Each sell order has its own individual countdown.

The Three Sell Parameters

Profit Margin (%)

This is the profit you want to make, expressed as a percentage of the product value. Maximum 10%.

Example: You own a product worth $100. You set a profit margin of 5%. Your asking price becomes $105.

The form shows your asking price in real time as you adjust this field.

Recess (%)

This is the lowest you are willing to accept below your asking price. Think of it as your downside flexibility. Maximum 10%.

Example: Your asking price is $105 and you set Recess at 3%. That means 3% of $105 = $3.15. You would accept a price as low as $101.85.

A higher Recess means you are more flexible and more likely to secure a sale. A Recess of 0% means you only accept your exact asking price or higher.

When to use a higher Recess: If your previous sells have not been going through, increasing your Recess gives the market more room to match your order. A Recess of 2 to 3% is a good starting point.

Avoid setting Recess too wide

Never set your Recess so wide that your minimum acceptable price drops below the product's actual cost price. If it does, a fill at the bottom of your range means you lose money on the trade. Always check the "Minimum acceptable" value on the form before submitting. If it is below what you paid for the product, reduce your Recess.

Bonus: guaranteed sales with Recess. If your minimum acceptable price lands within the AI buyback margin (0.05% to 0.2% above product cost), your sell is guaranteed. For example, on a $200 product, the buyback zone runs from $200.10 to $200.40. If your Recess brings your floor into that range, the system guarantees the sale.

Excess (%)

This is the highest you are willing to accept above your asking price. Maximum 10%.

Example: Your asking price is $105 and you set Excess at 5%. That means 5% of $105 = $5.25. You would accept a price as high as $110.25.

Setting a reasonable Excess does not hurt you. It simply defines the upper bound. If the market price lands above your asking price but within your Excess range, you receive more than you expected.

When to use a higher Excess: There is no downside. A wider Excess means you benefit from any upward price movement.

Practical Advice

A common starting strategy: set your profit margin at 3 to 5%, Recess at 2 to 3%, and Excess at 3 to 5%. This gives the market room to find a workable price while keeping your floor safely above cost price. Always check the "Minimum acceptable" value on the form before submitting.

The AI Buyback Margin (Safety Net)

If your sells keep getting rejected, consider pricing within the AI buyback margin. This is a narrow zone between 0.05% and 0.2% above the product value where sells are guaranteed to go through regardless of market conditions.

How it works: If your asking price falls within 0.05% to 0.2% of the product value, the system automatically approves your sell at your asking price. No waiting, no competition.

Example: You own a product worth $100.

• Buyback zone minimum: $100 x 1.0005 = $100.05
• Buyback zone maximum: $100 x 1.002 = $100.20
• If your asking price is anywhere between $100.05 and $100.20, the sell is guaranteed.

To set this on the form, use a very small profit margin:

• For $100.05, set profit margin to 0.05%
• For $100.20, set profit margin to 0.2%
• Set Recess to 0% (you want the exact price)
• Set Excess to anything you like

When to use this: When you need to exit a position and do not want to risk another rejection. The profit is small per trade, but the sell is certain. Think of it as a safety net. You can always come back and trade again with the proceeds.

The compounding effect: A 0.05% to 0.2% margin may look small on a single trade. But if you trade consistently using the buyback margin, that daily return compounds. Over 30 days, even the minimum 0.05% daily adds up to more than 1.5% monthly. At 0.2% daily, you are looking at over 6% monthly. The buyback margin is not just an emergency exit. For consistent traders, it is a reliable income strategy.

INFO

The buyback margin tip is also shown on the sell form itself, below the price range summary.

The Price Range Summary

As you fill in the three fields, a summary box updates in real time showing:

• Your asking price
• The minimum price you would accept (based on Recess)
• The maximum price you would accept (based on Excess)
• The total range for your quantity

Review this summary carefully before submitting.

Processing Your Sell Order

After you place a sell order, a 24-hour processing window begins for that specific order. During this period, your product remains in your inventory and you cannot submit another sell on the same product.

Each sell order is processed individually. If you place a sell order at 14:00 on Monday, it is processed by 14:00 on Tuesday. If you place another sell order on a different product at 16:00 on Monday, that one is processed by 16:00 on Tuesday. They do not affect each other.

When processing completes, you will see the result in your sell history. If successful, your account is credited. If not, you keep the product and can place a new sell order immediately.

Why Sells Sometimes Do Not Go Through

The trading system processes sells competitively. Not every sell can be approved in every cycle. If your sell is not approved:

• You keep the product.
• Your balance is not affected.
• You can place a new sell order immediately.
• Consider adjusting your parameters. A lower margin or wider Recess can improve your chances.
• If your sells keep failing, use the AI buyback margin to guarantee a sale at a small profit.

This is a normal part of trading. Keep at it.

What Happens After a Successful Sell

When your sell is approved:

1. The product is removed from your inventory.
2. Your account is credited with the fill price for your quantity.
3. Proceeds go back to the wallet you used to bid on the product. If you bid with your main wallet, proceeds go to your main wallet. If you bid with your ICTP wallet, proceeds go to your ICTP balance.
4. The fill price may differ slightly from your asking price (it will always be within the range you set).
5. Your profit is calculated and recorded.
6. Any applicable referral commissions are processed (see below).

Referral Commissions on Sells

When a successful sell generates profit, referral commissions are paid to the seller's referral chain. GE-AS uses a three-tier affiliate structure:

Level	Who	Commission
1st Generation	The person who directly referred the seller	5% of the sell profit
2nd Generation	The person who referred the 1st generation referrer	3% of the sell profit
3rd Generation	The person who referred the 2nd generation referrer	2% of the sell profit

Example: You sell a product for $5 profit. Your referrer (1st generation) earns $0.25 (5% of $5). Their referrer (2nd generation) earns $0.15 (3% of $5). The 3rd generation earns $0.10 (2% of $5).

Commissions are only paid when a sell is successful and generates profit. Failed sells do not trigger any commissions. Profits earned using the ICTP wallet do not generate referral commissions for your downline. Only profits from trades placed using the main wallet earn commissions.

Example Walkthrough

You own a product worth $200. You purchased it using your main wallet.

1. You set: profit margin = 4%, Recess = 3%, Excess = 3%.
2. The form calculates your asking price: $200 + 4% = $208.
3. Minimum acceptable: $208 minus 3% of $208 = $201.76. This is above the $200 cost price, so you are safe.
4. Maximum acceptable: $208 plus 3% of $208 = $214.24.
5. You review the summary and click "Place Sell Order."
6. Your 24-hour processing window begins from this moment.
7. Within 24 hours, the system processes your sell. If approved, you receive a fill price somewhere between $201.76 and $214.24, credited to your main wallet (matching the wallet you used to bid).
