How Auctions Work

1. Find an Auction

Browse active auctions on the Auctions page. Each listing shows the current bid, time remaining, bid count, and whether the seller's reserve price has been met.

2. Review the Listing

Before bidding, review the minimum bid amount, reserve price indicator, and auction end time. Check the seller's reputation and item condition notes.

3. Place a Bid

Enter a bid amount above the current minimum. Watch the countdown and you will be notified if you are outbid.

4. If You Win

When the auction ends and you hold the highest bid, you have 48 hours to complete payment. If you do not pay within 3 days your bid will be forfeited.

5. If You Are Outbid

When someone places a higher bid you are instantly notified. You are free to bid again or move on to the next auction.
