BIDDING
How do I place a bid? Back to TopPlace your bid by entering your maximum bid amount in the "Your Proxy Bid" box on any auction view page. Once you click "Bid", we will ask you to login. After you have entered this information, the system will display a confirmation screen with all your desired bids, allowing you to verify your information before you click on "Confirm Bid".
How can I automatically increase my bid? What is Proxy Bidding? Back to Top
You will use Proxy Bidding to automatically bid for you. To use this feature, enter your maximum bid amount (highest bid that you are willing to pay) into the bid box on the auction page. Our system will record your "maximum bid" amount and place a bid at the current LOWEST minimum bid. If another bidder bids higher than your LOWEST minimum bid, the system will automatically place another bid for you. You will therefore again be the current winning bidder. On your behalf, the proxy bidding system will continue to make smallest bids necessary to maintain you as the winning bidder until you are the winner of the auction or until another bidder bids higher than your maximum allowable proxy bid amount. Proxy bids are completely private and are never displayed to other bidders or auctioneer.
How do I know if I've been outbid? Back to Top
You will receive an email notifying you that someone has outbid your highest bid price. If the auction is still open, you will have a chance to place a new bid or proxy bid by going back to the auction page or by logging into Dealer Section.
How do I know if I've won the auction? Back to Top
After you have won the auction, you will receive an email notification with payment instructions. Once we receive and process your payment, we will notify you and instruct auction to prepare your vehicle for pick up and/or delivery to the shipping address on file.
How can I cancel a bid? Back to Top
A bid is a binding contract. Once the bid has been placed, it cannot be lowered, cancelled or retracted.
I am a new/first time buyer on AuctionXM.com, and I have already won 1 vehicle. Why can't I place a bid on any additional cars? Back to Top
It is our policy to allow first time buyers to have no more than one (1) outstanding transactions that require payment. Once all outstanding transactions have been paid, you are free to continue bidding until you win an additional auction. As soon as your first transaction is complete, you will be able to bid again. A completed transaction is one that has been paid in full.
I am a new client on AuctionXM.com, and I can only place one bid at a time. Why is this? Back to Top
It is our policy to only allow new clients to have one outstanding bid at a time. This means that once you place your first bid, you will be blocked from placing further bids. This block will remain in effect from the time you place the bid until the auction you bid on is complete. If you do not win the bid, then you may place another bid. If you win, you will also face a restriction (see details). This procedure is only for new clients. Once you have completed one transaction, this restriction will be removed from your account. A completed transaction is one that has been paid in full.
