3: Sorting Search Results.

Each search results page allows you to sort the matching items by Title, Price, Bids, or Time left

To sort by Price (shown here) you simply click on the word "Price" as the top of the page, to sort by that column. The default sort for each column is lowest value to highest value, to change the sort to highest-to-lowest, click on the column name again, and the sort order will change.

5: Page Refresh

Once you confirm your initial bid your web page will refresh quickly thereafter confirming that you are the high bidder (image below) or advising that you were outbid and need to rebid.

Note: The speed with which you are notified is dictated by your device and the data transmission speed of your Internet Service Provider.

Important: If you have placed a proxy bid and are the high bidder, you will only be notified that you were eventually outbid via the email address listed within your profile.
