Bid in auctions
Bidding places an offer on an auction listing; the highest bid when the timer ends wins (subject to any reserve).
Steps
- Open an auction listing.
- Place your bid before the timer ends.
- Watch the status — if there's a reserve, the sale completes only once it's met; otherwise the listing shows Reserve not met.
Tips & tricks
- Add an auction to your Watchlist and enable notifications so you're alerted before it closes.
- Bids are commitments — only bid what you're prepared to honor.
