Bidder guide

Track your bids

Review your bid status, winning items, and auction results.

Track active bids

Use My Bids to see items you have bid on, whether you are currently leading, and which auctions are still open.

Check this page before the auction closes if there are items you especially want to win. Outbid messages can arrive quickly near the end of a popular auction.

Check results after the auction ends

When an auction closes, your bid status shows whether you won or lost each item. Winning items may also appear in payment or organiser follow-up messages.

If you expected to win an item but cannot see it, check that you are signed in with the same email address you used to bid.

Keep an eye on deadlines

If you are leading near the end of an auction, check the closing time and any organiser reminders. You can place another bid before the auction closes if you are outbid.

Once the auction has ended, follow the organiser’s close-out instructions rather than trying to place further bids.

After winning

Follow the organiser’s payment, collection, or delivery instructions. Contact the organiser if an instruction is unclear.
