- Login to your account – If you have not registered you can do so within a couple of minutes.
- Visit the auction page that has the item you want to bid on.
- Towards
the bottom of the auction description page you will see a “bidding
box." Enter in your bid and note that you must bid above the minimum
bid required in order for your bid to be accepted.
- Click on the “place bid” button.
- You
will then be asked to confirm you bid. Once you have done so, your bid
will be entered. If successful, you will receive a confirmation
message. If your bid fails to outbid the current high bidder, you will
be offered the option to place a higher bid.
Proxy bidding can aid your chances of winning an auction and help avoid you being
outbid at the last moment. To place a proxy bid, enter in the maximum
price you are willing to pay for an item. If another user places a bid
on the same auction, automatic bids will be placed on your behalf in
accordance with your maximum bid amount. With proxy bidding, you will pay the lowest possible price until someone else places a higher bid.
There is another way of bidding: Buy Out/Buy it Now auctions are auctions with a fixed price option.
Buy Out/Buy it Now prices are set by the seller. If you agree with that price, you can
click on the “Buy Out” button which is displayed at the bottom of the
auction page. After clicking on the button, you will be re-directed to
a confirmation page. On a standard auction, that auction will end
instantly as the item has been sold via Buy Out/Buy it Now.
