The Bidding section provides you with an overview of all the items you have bid on, items you have won, outstanding invoices, and items you are watching. The Bidding section also provides access to your Favourite Stores list.

Managing & Placing Bids

At the heart of your auction experience is bidding on items you'd like to buy. KicksTrader allows you to purchase items in several ways:

• Standard bidding
• Make an Offer
• Buy Out

Standard Bidding

Standard bidding is the most common way to bid on an item, and is exactly the same as the process used in real-world auction rooms. You bid the minimum amount needed to outbid the current high bidder.

Here's how you do it:

1. Find the item you'd like to bid on - either by browsing the categories down the left of your screen, or by using the search box just below the navigation bar.

2. To place a bid, enter your chosen amount into the "Place Bid" field in the item listing.

Click the Place Bid button to continue.

3. The bid confirmation screen will display the minimum bid needed and will allow you to adjust your bid accordingly

4. You will now see confirmation that you are the high bidder or a message telling you that you have been outbid, or that you bid is below the reserve price.

You can place as many bids as you want on an item.
