1. You must tell eBay that you want to bid. [Click here]
2. You must complete and submit our registration form [Click here]
3. We must process your form and tell eBay that you are allowed to bid. We do this as quickly as possible but it may take as long as 1-2 business days after we receive your registration. If you are registering after 8AM EST on the day(s) of the sale, we may not be able to process your registration in time for you to bid on the lots you are interested in.

If your EBAY USERID appears on your screen, then your bid got in, if something else appears, such as 'Live Auction Floor Bidder' or 'Live Internet Bidder', then someone else beat you to it.
