How do I bid on an auction?
After reviewing the ticket details in an auction-style listing, to bid on the tickets: • Click the Place Bid button. You may be prompted to log in. • The Current Bid, Minimum Bid, and Bid Increment display. The Minimum Bid is the lowest bid amount the Seller is willing to accept. The Bid Increment is the increase in dollar amount required for each new bid. For example, if the Current Bid is $60.00 and the Bid Increment is $5.00, the next bid must be at least $65.00. Enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for all the tickets in the listing in the Your Maximum Bid field and click the Continue button. Each time someone outbids you, we’ll automatically increase your bid by the specified bid increment until you win the tickets or your maximum bid amount is reached, whichever comes first. Important: An authorization for the amount of your Maximum Bid (plus fees) is sent to your credit or debit card each time you place a new bid. Although your card is not charged until the sale ends
Credit Card On File: To ensure that bidders on SportsBuy auctions are legitimate, users are requested to have to a credit card on file. If you can not or are uncomfortable with putting a credit card on file, you can contact SportsBuy at 310.568.8825 x114 to make alternative arrangements. Click here add a credit card on file or you can add one later on your My Account page. Auto/Proxy Bidding: Bidding on an item is simple. Each auction shows the starting bid or current high bid along with the next incremental minimum bid. You can post your maximum bid that you are willing to pay. The SportsBuy Auto Bid feature will only display the lowest possible bid needed to make you the high bidder. For example: If you post a bid for $100 on an auction, but another user has only posted a bid for $50, then your bid will only be posted for $51.00 (the next increment). The Auto Bid will continue to post the lowest possible bid below $100 or until you are outbid by another user. Dynamic Auctions SportsB
