In an Auction Listing you will be able to place bids against other buyers. Before you are able to place bid you will need an account that is fully verified. Click here to learn more about registering an account
Each listing you will see on the website will be either a fixed price 'Buy it Now' item or a Auction. We have made it easy to differentiate between the two listing types by making the Buy It Now items have a green "add to cart" button and Auctions will have a price and a bid gavel.
On the item page, an auction will show a "Place Bid" button, while a Buy It Now item will show a green Add To Cart Button.
The first thing to understand is that we have two types of auctions. Click on the link below to learn more about them and how to differentiate them:
Once you find an item you are interested in bidding on, click on the title link to go to the listing page. Look for the box that says “place bid”. Enter your maximum amount you are willing to pay straight away. The way the auction system works, is that the system will enter the minimum possible bid automatically on your behalf.
There are several different scenarios that can occur when you place a bid.
Scenario A: You are the first person to bid on the item The system will accept your bid at the lowest possible amount (the Minimum Bid), and your secret Maximum Bid will be remembered in case someone tries to outbid you.
Scenario B: Your Maximum Bid is greater than the secret Maximum Bid of all other bidders We will enter the previous highest Maximum Bid as a new bid automatically, and your bid will be entered at the next lowest possible bid. You will be the new highest bidder.
Scenario C: Your bid is less than or equal to the Maximum Bid of the current highest bidder We will accept your bid and automatically place a new bid on behalf of the other bidder, however you will need to increase your Maximum Bid to win the item. If two identical bids are placed on an item, the first bidder will be the winner unless their bid is exceeded.
Scenario D: Your bid is below the Reserve Price If you bid below the secret Reserve Price for an item, you need to increase your bid until you meet the Reserve Price.
Scenario E: Your bid is above the Reserve Price If you bid above the secret Reserve Price for an item we will reduce your bid to match the Reserve Price.
If the auction has less than 5 minutes remaining, the auction end time is increased by 60 seconds to give other bidders an opportunity to bid.
For example, consider an auction where the Minimum Bid is $90.00, the bid increment is $1.00, and the secret Maximum Bid of another bidder is $110.00 - and you enter a bid of $100.00. Your bid will be accepted at $100.00, but the system will place a bid immediately for $101.00 on behalf of the previous bidder. This will continue until you exceed the secret Maximum Bid of the other bidder, which is $110.00.
New members will be required to add a credit card to their account before they can start bidding. You will be asked to enter a credit card to confirm you are a real bidder. You do not have to pay for any wins using this card, and it is not stored anywhere. It is purely for identification purposes only.
You may see a small $1 charge on your card which will be refunded immediately. This is to check that the card is working and that the details provided are accurate.
To make sure buyers don't bid on, or buy, more than they're comfortable with, we occasionally place limits on a member's buying activity. We may also restrict buying if we believe a member has violated a policy.
To lift the restriction you will need to pay for any wins you have outstanding before placing more bids. If you do not have any items waiting for payment, the restriction will apply to the number of auctions you can bid on at one time. If you have exceed this limit you will need to wait until some of your auctions are finished before you can bid again.
Please use the current bid tab to see how many items you are currently bidding on.

找到感興趣的項目後,單擊標題鏈接進入列表頁面。查找顯示“出價”的框。輸入您願意立即支付的最高金額。拍賣系統的工作方式是,系統將代表您自動輸入最低出價。
出價時可能會發生幾種不同的情況。
如果拍賣剩餘時間不到5分鐘,則拍賣結束時間會增加60秒,從而使其他競標者有機會競標。
例如,考慮一個拍賣,其中“最低出價”為$ 90.00,出價增量為$ 1.00,另一個競標者的秘密“最高出價”為$ 110.00-您輸入的出價為$ 100.00。您的出價將被接受為$ 100.00,但是系統將立即代表前一個出價者將出價為$ 101.00。這將繼續進行,直到您超過另一個競標者的秘密最高出價(110.00美元)為止。
新會員將需要在其帳戶中添加信用卡。系統將要求您輸入信用卡以確認您是真正的競標者。您無需使用此卡就可贏取任何獎金,它不會存儲在任何地方。它僅用於識別目的。
您的卡上可能會看到1美元的小額費用,該費用會立即退還。這是為了檢查卡是否正常工作以及提供的詳細信息是否正確。
為確保買家不會出價或購買超出其滿意程度的商品,我們有時會限制會員的購買活動。如果我們認為會員違反了政策,我們可能還會限制購買。
為了解除限制,您需要先支付所有未贏的獎金,然後再設置更多出價。如果您沒有任何等待付款的物品,則該限制將適用於您一次可以競標的拍賣數量。如果您超出了此限制,則需要等待某些拍賣結束才能再次出價。
請使用當前出價標籤查看您當前正在出價的項目數。
