If this is the first time you are bidding on an item in this auction you will be prompted to enter your email address and create a password to login to the auction.

When do I pay for the item I won?
It's done automatically! When the auction closes your credit card will be charged for any won items, based on the card details you shared before you placed your first bid. You'll be notified of this charge to your account by email and text notifications.
How will I know if I’ve been outbid?
When you are outbid on an item, you will receive an email letting you know you’ve been outbid. You also have the option to enable text notifications for quick updates or browser notifications.
How will I know when the auction starts and ends?
If you sign into the auction before it begins, you will receive an email when the auction begins and another email when the auction closes.
What happens if two people bid the same amount with automated bidding?
The first person to set up their bids with automated bidding will win the item when the auction closes. We'd encourage you to set up automated bidding early so you have the best chances of winning!
