Create sale sus help
Put simply, Sign-Up-Sales are lotto style sales for when you have a lot of buyers for a few items. People enter the sale, and when you want to end the sale you simply draw winners from the pool of entries.
This is the kind of sale this site was set up for, as you can tell from the site name. Hence it is the default sale type on the Create sale form..
