Auctions

Visit the auction page and enter your bid amount in the bidding form. Your bid must meet
the minimum next bid amount shown. Click "Place Bid" to submit. You'll receive a
confirmation email and be notified if you're outbid.

You'll receive an email notification letting you know someone has placed a higher bid.
You can return to the auction page and place a new bid at any time before the auction
ends. There's no limit to how many times you can bid.

Anti-snipe protection prevents last-second bidding from unfairly winning auctions.
If a bid is placed in the final minutes of an auction, the end time is automatically
extended to give other bidders a chance to respond. The extension length varies by auction.

A reserve price is the minimum amount the seller will accept. If bidding doesn't reach
the reserve price, the item may not be sold. The reserve isn't shown while bidding is
open; if it wasn't reached, the auction page says "Reserve price was not met" once
the auction ends.

Some auctions list a "Buy Now" price in their details. Buying at that price straight
from the auction page isn't available yet — to win the item, place a bid.

After an auction ends, the winning bidder is notified by email. The organization then
settles the auction, which is when the winning bid's payment is processed.
