You click on the "Bid on eBay" link and then bid on the items if your a registered eBay user. If you are not registered, you will need to register.

The instructions on eBay are very good and they make it easy for you to follow and learn how it works.

Excellent! Now if I only had an eBay account.

BTW, there's no link for Jackquontee wine and cigars.

Houston, we have a problem!

eBay only allows you to list an item for a max of 10 days.
The 25th of November is 5 weeks away and it will be a nightmare trying to re-list everything 5-6 times, tracking bids, etc etc.

So...

I'm going to remove the eBay auction links and place them back on the 15th Nov. That way we will be able to see the bidding all the way up to the event.

Sorry, I'm no eBay expert and I just realized tonight

Looking forward to the furious bidding in a few weeks
