There are two ways to bid. One through a feed and the other through the web interface.

Bids can be placed via a simple tsv file (supported in MS Excel). The bid feed is a separate feed from your product data feed. To bid this way, you will need to download the bid feed, which contains the following information:

• Each category where you have products
• The number of products you have in each category
• Your minimum bid in each category
• A blank field where you can place your bid amount

To place your bids, simply fill in the bid field next to each category and upload the bid feed. After bids are uploaded, the user interface will display the status of your feed as it is processed (accepted, pending, processed).

• Place bids at granular categories for better control
• Place bids at high-level categories, which will apply, to related subcategories
• View the top 5 bids in a selected category
• View your bid position within the bid landscape in each of your categories
• Identify when you need to make a bid correction through color indicators
