Now that you’re signed in, you need to register to bid in the auction.

You only need to create an account once, but you must register for every auction that you want to bid in.

To add your credit card information, you can click the “add credit card” button, which will create a secure form for that information.

You can see that your credit card has been added to the form, because the “add credit card” button has updated to allow you to “remove credit card” if you would like to make a change.

For your information, the last 4 digits of the credit card number and the expiration date are visible.

Now that you have a credit card on file, we will need to verify that it works.

To verify your credit card, you will be asked to allow a small transaction.

This transaction will be returned to you promptly, and is only meant to test the connection for future transactions.
