  • You’ll be asked to confirm the amount
  • You’ll start receive Bid Alerts to let you know if you’ve been outbid
  • The highest bidder will receive a Winning Bid confirmation email

If you can’t wait for the bidding to end or if it’s a popular item that could see a lot of action you’ll want to snatch it up right away. The Buy Now button is your ticket to instant gratification.
