If
the option is available you can use “Buy Out” to purchase the item immediately
without having to place a bid. Some sellers offer such an option which can be
used at any time until a bid has been placed over any applicable reserve price.
The
“Buy Out” option will appear on the item details page, you will be asked to
confirm your intention to buy out the item before the sale is concluded. Buy
out’s cannot be retracted.
The
item watch features lets you keep a close eye on any auction without having to
place a bid on it. This feature means you can be kept up to date on how an
auction is doing and prepares you to place a winning last minute bid. You can
watch any auction by clicking on the “Watch this item” link on any auction
page.
The
auction watch features notifies you of newly listed auctions which contain
keywords you have chosen. For example if you are looking for a new Digital
Camera you could enter in those keywords from within your member’s area. Each
time a new auction is listed containing those keywords you will be notified via
email.
Placing
a bid on an item you are interested in couldn’t be easier, when viewing the
item details page you will have two areas from where you can place your bid,
one next to the item details and a second at the bottom of the page.
To
place your bid simply enter the amount you wish to bid e.g. 50.00. Please note
no currency symbols are required. The bid will be placed in the auction
currency.
Once
done you will be asked to review your bid and you will also be able to view
vital item details such as the shipping conditions before confirming your bid.
To submit your bid simply press the “Place Bid” button.
If
your bid is high enough to take the lead in the auction a confirmation message
will be displayed to you, however if your bid has not taken the lead be it due
to a higher proxy bid or not meeting the reserve price you will be invited to
make a further bid.
Should
you decide to retract your bid this can be done via the “Current Bids” section
of the member’s area.
You can also place a proxy bid, proxy bidding allows
you to place your “High Bid”. At all times you will only pay the lowest
required bid should you win the auction. For example, if the current bid on an
auction is 500.00 you can place a proxy bid of 2,000. Should you remain the
only bidder you will only pay 500.00. However should the item receive other
bids the site will automatically re-bid for you (up to 2,000 in this scenario)
to ensure you remain in the lead.
