Step 1 — Buy a Bid Pack

Bids cost a fixed price each. Larger packs lower the per-bid cost.

Step 2 — Place Bids on Live Auctions

Each bid raises the price by $0.01 and resets the countdown timer. The last bidder when the timer hits zero wins the item at the final auction price plus free shipping.

Step 3 — Win or Use Buy Now

If you don't win, paid bids count as credit toward the Buy Now price. If you do win, you also receive 100% of your paid bids back as credit. Runners up get up to 20% bid back and during promo weeks users have all gotten up to 100% bid back.

Step 4 — Free Shipping

Every won item ships free and insured, with tracking.
