Auction Basics
Once you find an auction listing you're interested in, you're able to place bids against other buyers. Look for the button that says "place bid" and enter the amount you're willing to pay.
If you want to participate in the auctions of our website, you must register and become a member. Provide your contact information and a valid credit card so we can verify that you are a real person.
In this type of auction, buyers bid until the auction ends. Bidding starts at $1, and the seller must sell the item to the highest bidder.
In this type of auction, the seller has a preset bid amount that must be matched or exceeded. When you bid on a reserve price item, you will be notified if you met the reserve price.
There are no buyer's hidden fees. If you win, what you bid is what you pay.
