| What
is a reserved bid? |

is a bid value? |

The

| What
is "Automatic Bidding"? |

"Automatic
Bidding" is a feature you can

is automatically place your bid (up to

you have been out-bid by someone
else. To turn this feature on,
you must check the check box, enter
the maximum amount you are willing to
pay, and then choose an increment

feature. You will be notified by
