Why It’s Helpful to Track Winning Items

Being able to see which items you’re winning allows you to:

  • Monitor your bidding activity in real time
  • Avoid missing out on items you care about
  • Plan your maximum bids and budget effectively
  • Act fast if someone outbids you near the auction’s end

Step 1: Log In to Your Account

  1. Go to the auction website.
  2. Click Log In and enter your credentials.
  3. Once logged in, navigate to your Account Dashboard.

Step 2: Go to “My Bids” or “Winning Items”

  • Look for a tab or link labeled “My Bids”, “My Items”, or “Winning Items”.
  • This section shows all active bids tied to your account.
  • You’ll see:
    • Item name
    • Your bid amount
    • Current highest bid
    • Bid status (Winning or Outbid)

Step 3: Review Your Winning Items

  • Items you’re currently winning will be clearly marked as “Winning” or highlighted.
  • If someone outbids you, the status will change to “Outbid” and you’ll receive an email or text notification (if enabled).

Step 4: Increase Your Bid (Optional)

  • If you want to secure the item, click Increase Bid or Set Auto Bid.
  • You can place a higher manual bid or set a maximum auto bid to stay ahead without constantly monitoring.

Step 5: Check Before the Auction Ends

  • Log in before the auction closes to confirm the status of your bids.
  • If popcorn bidding is enabled, you may have extra time to respond to last-minute bids.

Pro Tips for Monitoring Your Winning Bids

  • Turn on bid notifications to get alerts the moment you’re outbid.
  • Use auto bidding to maintain your lead without manually tracking every item.
  • Keep your bidding organized by checking this section regularly.
  • Make sure your payment method is updated so you don’t lose a winning bid at checkout.
