no need to apalogize, welcome to listia, at the bottom of any page you can click on rules and look over them and they will show you how to get the maximim bids for your auctions, etc. Also there is a prohibited list that tells you what is not allowed, be careful listing currency, if it's still in circulation it usually gets deleted unless it's an actual collectible. as time goes by you will become a pro, also when listing an auction you can click on the advance options button towards the bottoms of your listing before you list it to change the number of days and also start the starting bid at something higher. Hope you do well here:) Good luck
