Below is what you'll see once completing step 2. There are multiple options on this page:

i. Maximum Bid: This is the most you are willing to pay for that item - no other bidders can see this. We will keep bidding the minimum amount possible until you are either the highest bidder, or the bid reaches your maximum amount. We'll e-mail you when we have placed a bid for you, or when the bidding has exceeded your maximum amount.

ii. Confirmation: Once you are happy with your bid ammount, continue to the Summary Page by either clicking the black 'Bid Now' circle, or the 'Confirm' button shown in your orange basket in the top right corner of the page.
