How to Bid
You may begin bidding on your desktop or mobile device after you are registered and logged into your Givebutter auction account.
1. Click on the item on which you'd like to bid.
2. Click the blue "Place a Bid" button.
3. Enter the maximum amount you'd like to spend on this item. The system will automatically place bids for you (calculating the lowest price that would make you the winner), up to the maximum price you've specified.
For example: If you want to pay a maximum of $200 for an item with an opening bid of $100, enter $200 as your max bid. If there isn't any competition, your bid will be placed at $100, and increased automatically, depending on bids submitted by others. Your bid will never exceed $200. If the price of the item goes beyond your max bid of $200, you'll need to place a new, higher bid on the item.
Note: If two people have the same max bid set, the person who entered their max bid first will win the item.
