3)Browse through and find a item you like. Then carefully look at the bid price. If there are no high bids, then look at starting bid. Otherwise if there is a high bid, then your bid must be higher.

4)Place your maximum bid under the box "place a bid". Then press the "place the bid" button.

That's it. You made your first bid. You may monitor the auction. Remember: someone may outbid you, so just cause the bid was made doesn't necessary mean you won it until the auction expires.
