How Can I Determine Whether I Still Have the Top Bid?

Click the "My Bids" tab near the top right of the screen to display all your bids. If any of your bids are still the highest, they will be highlighted in red . You can also see a summary of the highest bid for each online auction item by selecting the " Top_Bids " report on the pulldown in the My Bids top tab. The same information shows in the " My Bids " tab under " My Account "

 

You'll also find a complete list of bids for a particular item by clicking the "Bid History" link adjacent to the "Number of Bids" heading on the corresponding Item Details page.

What is the "Buy Now" Link For?

The biddable auction items have a " Buy Now " link (after clicking the tile) and corresponding premium purchase price in the bid box. If you click this " Buy Now " link, you'll immediately outbid everyone and the item will show in your " My Bids " tab under " My Account " (and on the " My Bids " tab in the upper banner) in red text showing it has been purchased at that price.

 

Click back to home button, look again at your item and it should have SOLD written across the tile. You WON! and will be hearing from us at the end of the auction.
