Auction - Bidding on an auction is done in specified increments. The user with the highest successful bid "wins" the auction and the ability to purchase the item. Auctions use Proxy Bidding (see definition below).

Proxy Bidding - An automatic method of bidding that increases your bid to the next lowest price when another user bids on the same item. Your bid is increased until your maximum bid amount is reached or the auction ends. Bids that do not meet the Reserve are entered in full regardless of any previously entered bid.

PROXY BIDS ARE CONFIDENTIAL and not visible to auction administrators.

Late Bids - Bids entered during the last 5 minutes of an auction will extend the closing time 5 minutes from the time of that bid.

Bid Retractions - must be processed by the auction Administrator. To reach the Administrator go to "Contact" at the bottom of any auction page. Bids cannot be retracted within 48 hours of the auction close.

Ask The Seller - Near the top of every listing there is provision "Ask the Seller a Question".
