Yes. To ensure fair bidding, a valid MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover credit card will be required to place a bid. Your credit card information is required only for the first time you place a bid on TMG Sports Memorabilia. A £4 authorization will be made on the credit card for validity, but you will never be charged this amount. Additional bids will not require credit card verification; however, be sure that your payment card information is up to date to ensure that your winning bid can be processed without delay. In order to successfully pay for your auction items, the billing address for your credit card must match the billing address entered for your TMG Sports Memorabilia account.

There are four steps to placing a bid on an auction. You must complete all four steps in order for our system to record and display your bid in a listing's Bid History. Click the Place Bid button on the listing page of the item you are viewing. You will be asked to Login, if you haven't done so already. Enter your bid for the item, review your shipping address, confirm that you are 18 years or older, and click the Place Bid button. Scroll down the Bid Confirmation page, review your bid information, and check it for accuracy. At this point, you will have the opportunity either to go back and modify or correct the desired quantity and Bid amount or you can submit your bid. To place your confirmed bid click the Confirm my Bid button. Once submitted, you will see information about your bid indicating the bid amount placed, and if your bid is currently the winning bid. To place additional bids, click the Place Another Bid button, which is located beneath the Bid History on the Summary page. You can then re-enter a new id amount according to the "Next Bid" amount as currently shown on the listing page. When reviewing an item's Bid History after having placed a bid, you should reload, or refresh, your browser so that it displays the most current information.
-
Here are two reasons why a bid may be considered invalid: 1) You have entered an invalid value in the "Bid Amount" field. Make sure that your bid amount contains only numbers and decimal points, i.e. 45.00 Do not enter any pound signs (£) or commas (,) into the Bid Amount field. 2) Your bid amount is less than the "Next Bid" value. Make sure that your bid is equal to or greater than the current "Next Bid" value shown on the listing page.
-
The Bid History should show your bid as soon as it is entered. If it doesn't appear, you may be viewing an old version of the page. Try clicking your browser's "refresh" or "reload" buttons. The Listing page updates 10-20 seconds after you make your bid to reflect the new Current Bid.
-
With Open Auctions, your maximum bid (if you are the current high bidder) will not be shown to other bidders while the current high bid amount is below that maximum bid threshold. The highest amount that will appear is one bid increment above the most recent competitive bid. With Reserve Price auctions, if you are the current high bidder and the Reserve Price has not yet been met, your maximum bid amount and nickname will be visible to other bidders as the current auction "Highest Bid" amount. Once the Reserve Price has been met, however, the maximum bid amount (if you are the current high bidder) will not be shown to other bidders while the current high bid amount remains below that maximum bid threshold.
-
We will send you an e-mail when your bid is no longer a winning bid. However, there can be unpredictable delays in e-mail transmission. We suggest that your regularly visit the TMG Sports Memorabilia website to check your "Bidding Activity" in My Account.
-
If the same bidding amount is entered, the bid placed earlier in time takes priority over all bids at the same price. It can be to your advantage to get an initial bid in as early as possible to ensure time priority at your bid price.
