YOU HAVE 3 BIDDING OPTIONS:

You can bid the amount in the NEXT BID field which will either be the MINIMUM BID for that item or the next BID INCREMENT amount. Click BID to submit your bid for this amount.

You can bid a greater amount than the NEXT BID amount. Enter a greater amount in the NEXT BID field using round numbers. Then Click BID.

You can place an AUTO-BID. This is the maximum amount on which you are prepared to bid on an item. The auction program will now automatically manage this bid for you, i.e. It will bid the next BID INCREMENT on your behalf against all other bidders up to the maximum amount of your AUTO-BID and no further. Place your maximum amount in the NEXT BID field. Check the AUTO-BID box. Then Click BID.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLACE YOUR BID AS AN AUTO-BID, SIT BACK, RELAX AND LET THE AUCTION PROGRAM BID ON YOUR BEHALF.
