This also ensures that all bidders are bidding with intent to purchase and to uphold the integrity of the sale. This is not a charge, but a preauthorization or "pending transaction".

HOW TO BID, BIDDER DISPUTES, EQUIPMENT/SOFTWARE/PROGRAM ERRORS. During an active auction, bidders can place their bids with two bidding options: 1. Enter each bid as the highest bid increases, engaging in a competitive bidding atmosphere. 2. Enter maximum bid in which the auction platform will automatically enter the lowest bid amount possible until you are outbid. Max bids are secret to each bidders account and are never shared to the public! All auctions have scheduled ending times with each lot ending with a two minute soft close. Example: Lot 1 has a scheduled ending time of 6:00 PM. At 5:59 PM Lot 1 receives a new high bid. The ending time for Lot 1 will be extended two minutes making the new ending time of 6:01 PM unless another bid is placed. This two minute extension will occur until the lot no longer receives a bid past the two minute extension. This allows for all bidding parties to make a confident and final bid without being outbid at the last second.

Please ensure that as a bidder, adequate and good internet connection is available so no bids are missed due to poor connection.
