Your maximum bid is only placed when another bidder also bids up to that amount or when the reserve price equal to or greater than your maximum bid. The goal of automatic bidding is for you to win the auction at the lowest possible price. Simply enter your maximum bid, the highest amount you are willing to pay, click the “Review Bid” button, and then click on the “Finalize Bid” button.

It is at the seller’s discretion whether or not to cancel your bid.Īutomatic, or proxy bidding, places bids on your behalf at the lowest possible increments. In case of emergency, you can ask the seller to cancel your bid by clicking on the Goodwill’s name on the auction page and send them an email requesting a bid retraction. Do not bid on an item unless you are certain that you can pay for it. You cannot cancel your bid after you’ve confirmed it after you have clicked on Finalize Bid. Not allowed to bid: You may not be allowed to bid if you did not honor your winning bid on three previous auction items. To bid again, return to the auction page and enter a higher amount. Precedence is given to the earlier bidder in the case of a tie. Outbid confirmation: Another bidder might have previously placed an equal or higher bid and you were automatically outbid. To win, the auction must close without any higher bids. High bid confirmation: If your bid is the highest, you will be listed as the high bidder and notified of this fact by email. After placing your bid, you will receive one of the following confirmation messages on the results screen. Once you have found an item you wish to bid on, from the item detail screen enter your bid and your password. If an auction has a reserve price that has not yet been met, “Reserve Not Met” will be listed next to the item price. If the reserve price isn’t met, the item will not be sold and no contact information will be exchanged. The seller can choose to set a reserve price which is the lowest price the seller is willing to accept for the auction item. Starting bids are usually low, to attract bidders and drive up the price naturally. When posting an auction, a seller sets a starting price. Online shopping may seem confusing, but it’s really not!
