On the day of the online-only auction, go to the page for the lot you wish to bid for and log in.
When the auction starts, the bidding page will change into the auction portal.
You will be able to see the countdown timer to show how long is remaining. As bids are placed a bidding history will appear. Once you place a bid the system will show if you are the highest bidder and if you have been outbid.
As long as you are logged in and approved, you will be able to bid by clicking the + button and confirming your bid.
