REMINDER: Proxy Bidding

By Ina Steiner
EcommerceBytes.com

April 22, 2000
 



Last week, we had a heated discussion about "sniping" in the Message Board. Just a reminder to buyers that you can use "proxy" bidding to help you win your auctions. Auction sites will automatically place bids for you up to the highest price you specify.

For more information on proxy (or automatic) bidding, see the auction site help files:
