Do I need a credit card on file to place a bid?

Yes. This process ensures that only ‘real’ bidders with valid credit/debit cards can place bids, protecting sellers from fraudulent bidders. Additionally, providing credit card information up front on our secure, PCI Compliant server ensures that winners will be automatically checked-out at the close of the auction via our Auto-Checkout feature. This means no more checkout lines for bidders, or checkout hassles for sellers.
