I wasn't trying to be mean.. I am just saying,in the future be sure that you want the item first, before you bid. Click Watch it and wait till auction is nearly over,then,if you really want it, you bid. It won't tie up your points, in case, you find something you like better. I do this now, only because, I didn't realize I was tying my credits up making a bunch of bids. Most likely, someone will out bid you, in the end. Most bidders who have been on site a few months,may make a initial bid,or watch till the last 5 minutes it up and bid. If it doesn't happen for you, send me a email afterward (the auction) and I will help you. I know I don't have too,but I see you haven't been on the site a month yet and are young and considered a newbie. I gave you some pointers you can or chose not to use. I will give your credits back,if you win,this ONE TIME ONLY, because you are a newbie. To get extra points, do all the surveys you can,try to get your friends to join, watch the video's on your profile page. Ask your mother,Aunts,etc to see if they have anything you can have, they don't need anymore (something you can auction). Get paypal. Get verified or use only post office money orders (they can be traced) for shipping only. I know shipping cost are getting high, so you can use them for exact cost of shipping only. Another tip watch how you talk on here, it can be reported and your site closed temporarily or permanently,. Pat
