Ready to place your first bid?
Follow these simple steps before joining an auction.
01
Find an Auction
Browse active auctions and find an item you're interested in. You can explore categories or use search to find specific items.
02
Review the Listing
Read the description carefully, review the photographs, condition, shipping information and seller details.
03
Check the Current Bid
Review the current bid, remaining auction time and any other auction information before deciding how much you want to bid.
04
Enter Your Bid
Enter the amount you are prepared to bid and review the information carefully before submitting it.
05
Confirm Your Bid
Confirm your bid when prompted. Only place a bid when you are prepared to complete the purchase if you win.
06
Watch the Auction
Keep an eye on the auction while it remains active. Other bidders may place higher bids before it ends.
07
If You're Outbid
If another bidder places a higher qualifying bid, you can place another bid while the auction is still active.
08
Win the Auction
If you are the winning bidder when the auction ends, you'll need to complete the purchase according to the applicable auction terms.
09
Complete Payment
Follow the applicable checkout or payment process to complete your winning purchase.
10
Receive Your Item
Once payment and fulfillment are completed, the seller will ship the item according to the applicable shipping terms.
Before You Bid
Always review the complete auction listing before placing a bid. Bids should be intentional because winning an auction creates an expectation that the purchase will be completed according to the applicable terms.
