Participating in a Live Auction

Once a Live Auction starts, you can participate in two ways:

1. Bid live
   If you are a registered eBay user and you have signed up to participate in the auction, you can bid real time against other bidders on the Internet and on the auction house floor.

   Find out more about how live bidding works.

2. View the auction live on your computer
   If you have not signed up to participate in the auction, you can just view the auction without bidding. When viewing the auction you will be able to follow the live bidding while it happens. However, you won't be able to place bids.

   If you do want to bid during the auction and are a registered eBay user, sign up for the Live Auction by clicking the Sign Up button for that auction.
