To make a bid on an item, you first have to go to the item page. If you searched and found an item you like, click on the item preview. You will go to the item page with more detailed information and an option to bid on the item. You simply put in the amount of gold you want to offer. Do note that any bid has to be at least 5% higher than the previous bid. When you made a bid on an item it will be automatically tracked.

Once a bid has been made on an auction, the seller can choose to accept the bid, or to let the auction run until it expires. Note once the auction expires, the highest bid will be accepted automatically. So even though the seller never clicks on a button to accept the bid, he has to sell the item to the highest bidder. If an auction expires without any bids on it, the seller can choose to relist the auction or to remove it from the system.

By bidding on an auction at GW Auctions you dismiss the right to no buy the item if you win.
