Participating in Auctions
To place a bid on an auction, follow these steps:
Navigation prompt
Go to Community in the side nav > click Auctions > click on an Auction to explore the detail and continue with the steps below
Observe the minimum bid increment and the current bid. Your minimum bid will be the current amount plus the minimum bid increment.

Your bid should now be the leading bid.
You will not be the leading bid if:
Someone placed a higher bid just before you did.
The auction closed before you clicked place bid.
