If bidding online, simply browse to the auction item that you would like to bid on and click the "Bid" button. Bidding must be done in whole dollar increments and your bid must be at least higher then the current bid. Please see terms of sale for information relative to check out. Bid Increments. Bid increments are done in whole dollars. No need to add cents. Bidding is done similar to an eBay style. Your high bid is not reached unless there is someone bidding against you.
Example: If you bid $50 on an item and there is no one else bidding against you, the item will open for a dollar. You will win the bid for a dollar if it closes with out any competing bids.
If you bid $50 on an item and the highest competing bid is $40, you win the item for $41. If the Competing bidder bids $60 then the bid goes to the competitor for $51.
