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.

• Add at least the minimum bid to the bid field and click place 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.
