I've been outbid! What should I do?

Yahoo! Auctions notifies you via email when you have been outbid. Do you still want the item? Are you willing to pay more for it? Then you'll need to bid again.

In your outbid notification email, click on the link to the auction or cut and paste the url into your browser. This will take you to the auction. Enter a bid higher than the current high bid.

You may also view all the auctions you are bidding on by clicking on the \"My Auctions\" link on the upper right hand corner of any auctions page, and then clicking on the \"bidding\" link.

In certain cases, you may be outbid but later reinstated as the high bidder on an auction. This occurs when the seller cancels the current highest bid, and makes you the current high bidder. In the event that you are once again outbid, you will again be notified.

Please remember that you are responsible for any bids you have placed until the close of the auction. Even if you are outbid on an auction, there is a small chance that your bid could be reinstated.
