You've found a lot (item) that you like, but you don't want to come back to place a
real-time bid during the auction. You can place an "absentee" bid instead. Here's how
it works.
Approved bidders can place absentee bids up to one hour before the live event begins.
When the auction starts, we will then process all the absentee bids and calculate what
the winning absentee bid is. The winning absentee bid equals the second highest bid
plus one bid increment. This value will be communicated to the auctioneer. Example
If you do not have an eBay account, you may place your absentee bids

an active eBay account, please click
