Keep your cool and don't get carried away and bid higher than your maximum bid. The auctions are only one aspect of the many levels operated by Amazon which is far better known for its books and music sales. You register in the same manner as with the others, and like Yahoo, you must provide a credit card number to verify your identity and read and agree to their participation agreement. There is no charge for bidding or buying items. The site provides a search option for those who are only interested in one thing.
Bidding operates in the same way as well.
You may bid the next bid increment above the current price, or you may enter a maximum amount that you are willing to spend and the system, called Bid-Click, will up your bid as necessary until your maximum amount has been reached. You are notified if you are outbid on an item. There is also an early morning e-mail update on any items you are bidding on so that you can check progress without opening the site. As with the others, the business transaction is strictly between buyer and seller. Sellers must pay listing and completion fees as well as any optional promotional features chosen.
