The way TalkValley works

You search for your name in the top search box. If your profile is already created by someone then you claim your profile. If you don't find your profile on TalkValley then you can create one in no time. To authenticate your existing profile or self-created profile you will need to verify yourself by work-email, credit/debit card information, or video verification (For more details on verification click here). Depending on your status we may require you to authenticate using one or a combination of the three verification methods. Once you verify your profile you can begin to talk with interested buyers and start earning. Without verification you cannot sell your talk time.

We will determine whether the appropriate auction format for your profile will be Token auction or not. There are three different types of auctions:

• MaxBid auction:
  In this auction format, buyers commit the price they will pay and the number of minutes they want to talk with you. We rank buyers based on their committed prices per minute and prefer higher over lower. For more details please click here..
• Fixed price auction:
  There is only one difference in this auction and MaxBid auction is that buyers see the minimum rate (rate below which you will not talk) set by you in Fixed price auction whereas it is hidden from buyers in MaxBid auction. An expected behavior from a buyer on seeing the minimum rate is not to bid higher than the minimum, unless there is high demand for you. For more details please click here.
• Token auction:
  Unlike earlier auctions, participation in this auction is not free for buyers. To participate, buyers need to purchase tokens and they can use these tokens during the auction any time. The 1^st position will go to a buyer who is the last person to use a token before you become available. 2^nd position will go to a buyer who has used the highest token amount across all your previous and the current auctions. 3^rd position will go to a buyer who has used the 2^nd highest token amount across all your previous and the current auctions, and so on and so forth.

The way TalkValley works

You search for a person (seller) you want to talk with in the top search box.

Scenario 1: You find the profile of the seller you want to talk with: You will participate in the auction and depending on the auction rules we will determine your rank among other buyers for this seller. If you happen to be the highest ranked buyer when this person becomes available we will put you in the conference call with the seller. There are three different types of auctions:

• MaxBid auction:
  In this auction format, you commit the price you will pay and the number of minutes you want to talk with a seller. We will rank you among other bidders based on the committed price per minute. Thus, if you commit to pay the maximum price per minute, you will be the first buyer to talk with this seller. For more details please click here..
• Fixed price auction:
  There is only one difference in this auction as compared to MaxBid auction- you see the minimum rate (set by a seller below which this seller will not talk) in Fixed price auction whereas the minimum rate is hidden from you in MaxBid auction. For more details please click here.
• Token auction:
