You have to register to be able to bid. We need to capture your information to be able to let you know if you have won the items you were Buying for, arrange delivery to you and arrange payment. The information we capture is only relevant to this and includes name and contact details, email address, username and password chosen, company name and contact details, job titles if relevant and business type etc.
We may at times ask you for voluntary information such as your business type and the type of stock you are most interested in Buying for, this is so we can ensure that Ladduwala provides the products and services our members are looking for.

• Your username and password is how the website will recognise you in the future. It can, within reason, be anything you like. As a bidder, you can select an identity that is either anonymous or a natural variant on your actual name. Please note that offensive usernames and passwords will not be allowed.
• You cannot have exactly the same username as someone else, therefore you may be asked to try again. Please note that variants with numbers are most likely to give you a unique username. (such as Ratan247 rather than simply RatanK)
• Near the end of the registration process you will be asked to enter a graphic code to show that you have read and accept the terms & conditions. If you do not wish to accept them then we are unable to register you but no harm will be done and we will not keep any of the information about you that you previously supplied.
• Once entered please click on the 'Register’ button. If all information is correct and mandatory fields completed then an automated email will be sent confirming we have received your application.

• We immediately acknowledge your registration application via email.
• The email confirms your chosen username and password.
• Within a working day (usually a couple of hours during office hours) we review your application and email you to confirm that your account is active and ready to use.
• Once you receive your activation email all the members facilities will be available to you.
• If there are any matters that require clarification (an unrecognised address for example) we will attempt to contact you via email or phone to avoid unnecessary delays.

What is the search for? 

The search function enables you to find auctions currently on site that are of specific interest to you. It is a short cut alternative to browsing through categories and sub categories at random to find what you are looking for.

• Click in the Search box on the homepage.
• Enter the text you would like to search for. (ie. skirt or phone etc)
• In the drop down list choose whether you want to search all categories or just individual ones. Once selected click on the 'Go' button.
• All relevant results will then be shown on the page with their basic details, you can click on any of these to see further details and place bids.
• All results will be shown automatically but you can further refine your search to ‘Auction’ items or ‘Buy It Now’ items by clicking on the associated tab across the top of the results page.
• Please remember to be as specific as possible in your searches. If you are looking for software then by typing in the search textbox you could bring up both  Soft ware' and Soft Toys'. Therefore typing in the search text 'software' would bring up more relevant results for you.
• Search results can be sorted by the use of the 'sort by' drop down list once the results of your search are displayed.
• To narrow your search you can also click on the Advanced Search Option link within the search box itself. This works in the same way as the standard search box but allows you to further define your search to only results which have photographs attached, bids against them etc.
