Question Title How do I bid on an item?

If you have found an item you would like to place a bid on, you can do so quickly and easily by following these steps:-

* Login to your account – If you have not registered you can do so within 5 minutes.
* Visit the auction page you are interested in purchasing.

BIDS:
Just below the gallery image towards the top of the auction page will be a "place bid" box (if there is not a bid box, then the auction is a "Buy Out" only auction). Enter in your bid and 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 you 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 the 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.

BUY OUT:
If a seller designates a "buy out" price, you will see this option just above the auction description. Buy Out prices are set by the seller, if you agree with that price, you can click on the “buy out” button and proceed with your purchase. After clicking on the "buy out" button you will be re-directed to a confirmation page. After clicking the "proceed" button, you are now obligated to purchase this item at the designated price listed.
