Auctions

Visit the auction page and enter your bid amount in the bidding form. Your bid must meet
the minimum next bid amount shown. Click "Place Bid" to submit. You'll receive a
confirmation email and be notified if you're outbid.

You'll receive an email notification letting you know someone has placed a higher bid.
You can return to the auction page and place a new bid at any time before the auction
ends. There's no limit to how many times you can bid.

Anti-snipe protection prevents last-second bidding from unfairly winning auctions.
If a bid is placed in the final minutes of an auction, the end time is automatically
extended to give other bidders a chance to respond. The extension length varies by auction.

A reserve price is the minimum amount the seller will accept. If bidding doesn't reach
the reserve price, the item may not be sold. You'll see "Reserve not met" on the auction
page until bids reach the threshold.

Some auctions offer a "Buy Now" option that lets you purchase the item immediately at a
fixed price without waiting for the auction to end. Once someone uses Buy Now, the auction
ends and the item is sold.

After an auction ends, the winning bidder is notified and payment is collected. The
organization then settles the auction, confirming all transactions are complete. You'll
receive a receipt once your payment is processed.
