Bidder Registration Process

All bidders will be required to validate their account and post a Good Faith Authorization Charge prior to being able to place a bid.

The Good Faith Authorization Charge amount can be found listed under "Pre-Auction Authorization:" in each auction.

The Good Faith Authorization Charge will open once the auction begins.

What is a Good Faith Authorization Charge?

A Good Faith Authorization Charge will not go towards the purchase of the property, and it is not a deposit. It is a hold that allows us to validate your account and confirm that you are a serious bidder.

Once the authorization is approved, this charge will appear as a hold on your credit card. If you are using a debit card, the Good Faith Authorization Charge will appear as a pending transaction. Acceptable Payment Methods: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.
