I have just registered and haven't received my activation email

If you have completed the registration page successfully and have not yet received an activation email, there are one or two possibilities. You won't necessarily receive your activation email immediately upon registration as your email provider may be particularly busy, meaning your confirmation email might be delayed during this period. If you wait for an hour or two you should hopefully receive the email.

How do I arrange collection of produce?

Following receipt of payment, contact details will be provided for the vendor and collection address.

I registered quite a while ago and still haven't received my activation email

If you have already waited a long while for your activation email to arrive without success, your email provider might think that the email is spam or junk email. As the activation email is automated upon registration, email providers sometimes err on the side of caution and drop these emails in the 'Spam' or 'Bulk Mail' folder. You may be able to access your bulk mail folder either through your email client e.g. Outlook Express, or if you log on to view your email on line through your email provider's website.

What is the holding number for the market?

48/140/8000

My confirmation email doesn't have a confirmation link.

Your email/web mail client, e.g. Outlook Express or Yahoo, might not recognise the link in the activation email so it might simply appear as text within your email. If this is the case, please copy and paste the web address into your browser and hit 'Enter'. The activation web address will look likehttps://www.ylc.co.uk/confirm_registration.php?uid=999999&confirm_code=1a2b3c4d. Sometimes the web address may be on more than one line of your email like this:-
https://www.ylc.co.uk/confirm_registration.php?uid=999999&confirm_code=1a2b3c4d.
so please be careful to copy the entire address.

How can I make payment for the items I have purchased online?

The fastest & easiest method is by bank transfer and bank details can be found on your invoice. Debit card is accepted at the accounts office and also over the phone when the invoice amount is less then £500. We welcome cash up to £7500 and cheques by arrangement. Please be aware that we are unable to accept credit cards.  

My activation link doesn't work

If you have clicked on your activation link without successfully being logged in to your website your email client may have mis-interpreted the link. This might be because the link is split over more than one line. If this is the case, as per the instruction above, please copy the entire link into your browser and hit 'Enter'. Your link might also not work if you have already activated your account. To see if this is the case please go to the login page and enter your email and password.

What time does the auction finish?

When you are on our online bidding platform for any sale, you will see the end time shown on each lot.
