immediately. Once your order is executed:
-
Buyers: The card(s) you purchased will be reflected in your
Holdings and Balances, where you can choose to request delivery or leave them in
your account.
-

are not in your account.
thePit.com gives our account holders the option to choose the Minimum order
quantity when they place orders to buy or sell multiple cards.
For example, if you place a listing to buy 10 cards at $20ea.
and you leave the Minimum order quantity at 1, your listing maybe executed
anywhere from one to ten cards. If you choose 10 as the Minimum
order quantity, your Bid/Buy Offer Listing can only be executed for all 10 cards.
A marketable order is one that can be immediately executed. Your order is
considered marketable if it meets the price and quantity of an existing listing:
There are five possibilities when looking at the status column on your
Order Status Monitoring screen:
-
Open orders This is an order that is still open but has not been
executed. All
open orders remain available until they expire,
they are cancelled, or they are executed.
-
Executed orders This is a trade that has been executed. See Trade Settlements
for more information.
-
Canceled orders These are orders which have been
canceled.
-
Executed Partial orders This is similar to an executed
order, except that only a portion of the entire order quantity has been
executed. The balance is considered an open order until it is
executed or cancelled.
-
Cancel Partial orders This is the balance of a partially executed order
that was later canceled.
Purchase Trades: Upon purchasing an item, ThePit will first remove funds directly
from a users account. If there are not enough funds in the account, the system will then require
a Credit Card or PayPal. If posting a Bid/Buy Offer and funds are not available in the account,
the users Credit Card on file will be executed. Only after a confirmation of payment is received will
the transaction go through.
Sale Trades: There are two types of Sale Trades with thePit.com.
-

trade will settle immediately. Therefore, the card(s) will be removed
from the account, and the funds immediately credited.
-
SNIA (Sell Not In Account) - Users can sell their own cards that they are in possession of.
