RE: NFC: RE: Time for an Auction....

Ok, so this has me very confused!  How do I tell what are NFC auctions, and 
what are reg. aquabid auctions?  So, I post my stuff on aquabid, and then 
what?  Is there anything special that I do when I post?  Do I need to e-mail 
here what I've posted?????  Thanks,
