Please Note: Although you may already have an account registered with MLB.com, you must also update your profile within your MLB Auctions account (www.auctions.mlb.com) in order to place a bid.

Yes. To ensure fair bidding, a valid MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover credit card will be required to place a bid. Your credit card information is required only for the first time you place a bid on Major League Baseball Auctions. A $4 authorization will be made on the credit card for validity, but you will never be charged this amount. Additional bids will not require credit card verification; however, be sure that your payment card information is up to date to ensure that your winning bid can be processed without delay. In order to successfully pay for your auction items, the billing address for your credit card must match the billing address entered for your MLB Auctions account. If the billing addresses do NOT match, the transaction may fail at the close of the auction and the order will go unpaid.

If you need to update your credit card information, you can do so at anytime from the section called Manage My Account>Update Credit Card Info within the My Auction Account section.

To increase your bid, you can do so by simply entering another bid on the auction. This bid will not change your current bidding amount if you are the winning bidder, but will ensure you are still winning up until the new amount.

There are four steps to placing a bid on an auction. You must complete all four steps in order for our system to record and display your bid in a listing's Bid History.

1. Click the Place Bid button on the listing page of the item you are viewing. You will be asked to Login, if you haven't done so already.
2. Enter your bid for the item, review your shipping address, confirm that you are 18 years or older, and click the Place Bid button.
3. Scroll down the Bid Confirmation page, review your bid information, and check it for accuracy. At this point, you will have the opportunity either to go back and modify or correct the desired quantity and Bid amount or you can submit your bid.
4. To place your confirmed bid click the Confirm my Bid button.

Once submitted, you will see information about your bid indicating the bid amount placed, and if your bid is currently the winning bid. To place additional bids, click the Place Another Bid button, which is located beneath the Bid History on the Summary page. You can then re-enter a new id amount according to the "Next Bid" amount as currently shown on the listing page.

When reviewing an item's Bid History after having placed a bid, you should reload, or refresh, your browser so that it displays the most current information.

1. You have entered an invalid value in the "Bid Amount" field. Make sure that your bid amount contains only numbers and decimal points, i.e. 45.00 Do not enter any dollar signs ($) or commas (,) into the Bid Amount field.
2. Your bid amount is less than the "Next Bid" value. Make sure that your bid is equal to or greater than the current "Next Bid" value shown on the listing page.

The Bid History should show your bid as soon as it is entered. If it doesn't appear, you may be viewing an old version of the page. Try clicking your browser's "refresh" or "reload" buttons.

The Listing page updates 10-20 seconds after you make your bid to reflect the new Current Bid.

With Open Auctions, your maximum bid (if you are the current high bidder) will not be shown to other bidders while the current high bid amount is below that maximum bid threshold. The highest amount that will appear is one bid increment above the most recent competitive bid.

With Reserve Price auctions, if you are the current high bidder and the Reserve Price has not yet been met, your maximum bid amount and nickname will be visible to other bidders as the current auction "Highest Bid" amount. Once the Reserve Price has been met, however, the maximum bid amount (if you are the current high bidder) will not be shown to other bidders while the current high bid amount remains below that maximum bid threshold.

If the same bidding amount is entered, the bid placed earlier in time takes priority over all bids at the same price. It can be to your advantage to get an initial bid in as early as possible to ensure time priority at your bid price.

If the Number of Bids in the listing info table lists more bids than are listed in the Bid History of the item, it is probably because one or more of the bidders have at one point during the auction increased and initial bid. Every bid made, whether it is an initial bid by a user, or an increase, is recorded in the Number of Bids.

This system offers a convenient bidding system, so you don't have to continuously login to re-bid. When you place your maximum Bid, you enter the highest price you are willing to pay for an item. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.

The automatic bidding system will place bids on your behalf at the bid increment amount above the current high bid. The system will bid by the increment to ensure you remain the highest bidder or to meet the reserve price (if applicable), up to your maximum bid amount that was previously entered.

If and only if duplicate maximum bids are entered, the customer who entered the maximum bid first will get priority and will be the winning bidder.

If another bidder places a higher maximum bid, you will be emailed to login and place another bid.

Example:

1. The current bid for an item is $100 with a $10 increment.
2. Customer A enters a max bid of $200; Customer A is now winning at $110
3. Customer B enters a max bid of $150
4. System will now bid $160 (next bid increment) on Customer A’s behalf to ensure Customer A is still winning
5. Customer B re-enters a max bid of $200
6. Customer A is now winning the auction at $200 because he was the first to enter a max bid of $200

The Bid History list only displays the current winning bid amount and losing bids manually entered by bidders. Bid History does not display losing bids placed by the system (Maximum Bid/Automatically Bidding) for a maximum bid amount.

Yes. If your maximum bid amount has been outbid, or you want to increase the dollar amount of your existing winning bid, you can place another bid at a higher amount. To increase your current bid amount, simply return to the listing and enter and submit a new, higher maximum bid amount (this amount is the most you're willing to pay for the item).

If you are logged in to your account, the site will recognize your Nickname when you place an additional Bid. You won't be bidding against yourself when you want to increase your maximum bid amount even though if you're the current high bidder.

In some cases, it might appear that a single bidder is bidding against himself. For instance, the same bidder A might bid $10, $12, $14, $16, and so on. Nothing fraudulent is going on! Most likely, you or bidder A is causing this effect by bidding against bidder B's "Maximum Bid". Bidder A is trying to find the point where his/her Bid will outbid the maximum bid being increased by proxy on each bid. At the time the maximum bid price of the bidder B is exceeded, the new bidder A will have a winning bid.

Major League Baseball Auctions' Extra Innings feature works together with "Maximum Bid" to ensure that bidders will always have a chance to challenge bids placed in the final minutes of an auction. When indicated on a listing page by the "Or Later" link, if a bid is placed during the last 5 minutes of an Open or Reserve Price auction, the auction will be automatically extended for an additional 5 minutes from the time of the latest bid. You will have to refresh the listing page to get the most updated bid information for each individual listing. The auction will close once all bidding activity has stopped for a period of 5 minutes.

Confirmed bids may only be retracted under special circumstances and require that you submit a formal request to retract, as described below.

Once you have submitted your confirmed bid, it can only be retracted under the following circumstances.

• You made a typographical error when placing a bid amount.
• You submitted your valid bid retraction more than 24 hours before the auction closes.
• New item information added by the seller changed your understanding of the item for which your bid was placed.
• You cannot reach the seller via e-mail, or your question to the seller is returned as undeliverable.

When placing a bid you are required to confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. We will not honor bid retraction requests because a person under 18 years of age placed the bid in error. You will be held responsible for the transaction and payment.

To make a formal request to retract a confirmed bid, you must contact Customer Service. Please include the item listing number and the reason for the retraction. No bid retraction requests received less than 24 hours before an auction closes will not be processed regardless of the explanation. All bid retraction requests received without a valid explanation will be denied. Bidders who retract their bids may not place new bids on that item unless you made a typographical error when placing a Bid amount. All bid retraction requests will be accepted or rejected Major League Baseball Auctions sole discretion.

A Dutch Auction occurs automatically on Major League Baseball Auctions when a seller has multiple, identical items offered for sale. The seller specifies the minimum price (the Opening Value) and the number of items for sale. Bidders can then bid at or above the minimum price for the quantity of items they wish to purchase. At the close of the auction, all winning bidders purchase the items at the same price, which is the lowest successful Bid.

In some auctions, a number of identical items are offered for sale at the same time. When the listing closes, the highest Bidders win the available inventory. Bids are sorted in order with priority given to price, the quantity bid for, and then finally to time a bid was placed. The time of a bid is determined by MLB.com based on its records. If bids are tied for price, the Buyer who has bid in the greater quantity wins. If there are two bids at the same price for the same quantity, the early bid wins.

Bids are given priority based on the following characteristics: price, quantity, and finally time placed. As an example, if you bid $50.00 on 50 units and someone else then bids $50.00 on 100 units at a later time, the second bidder will be winning for all 100 units. If you then raise your bid to $60.00 for 50 items, you will be winning for 50 units (at $60.00) because your price is higher. The second bidder will then be winning for only 50 units at $50.00.

Fixed Price Sale listings or "Buy it Now" auctions have a fixed price set by the seller. Buyers simply choose to buy the item at that price. Fixed Price listings will remain active until all items have been sold or the close date and time set by the seller has been reached. Please allow 2-4 weeks after you make your purchase for delivery. The end time for a "Buy it Now" listing does not determine the ship window.

In an Open Auction, buyers bid until the auction ends. The item is then sold to the highest bidder at the end of the auction period. There is no reserve price in an Open auction. The seller must sell the item to the highest bidder. Bidding can start as low as the Opening Value (minimum price or starting amount) of the auction.

Once the auction closes, email notification providing contact information is sent to the buyer and seller automatically so that arrangements for payment and shipment of the item can be determined.

In a Reserve Auction, the seller sets the Reserve Price, which is higher than the Opening Value. A reserve price allows the seller to initiate bidder interest and determine the fair market value of an item. If the seller has set a Reserve Price you will see either a "Reserve NOT MET" or "RESERVE MET" message on the listing page depending on whether the current bid is below, or at or above, the reserve.

RESERVE NOT MET- The current amount of the highest bid is below the reserve price and the item will not sell at auction close.

RESERVE MET - The current amount of the highest bid is equal to, or greater than, the reserve price and the item will be sold.

If the highest bid at the auction close does not meet the seller's Reserve Price, the seller is not required to sell the item unless the seller chooses to do so. In this case, the seller will have a period after the auction close in which to contact the highest bidder whose offer was below the reserve price. Bidders who are contacted under these circumstances, however, are under no obligation to purchase the item.

In a Reserve Price auction, the seller starts the auction at a value below the lowest price at which s/he is willing to sell (the Reserve Price) to capture the bidder interest. This way, the bidders are not forced to bid at fair market value from the start of the auction. Also, many sellers prefer Reserve Price auctions when they are not sure of the market value of an item, and want to find an audience by enticing multiple bidders' interest.

If you have bid on a Reserve Auction, your bid may be below the Reserve Price. Even if you are the highest bidder in a Reserve Auction, you may still be losing if your bid does not match or exceed the Reserve Price. At the close of the auction, you will see either a "Reserve NOT MET" or "RESERVE MET" message on the listing page depending on whether the current bid is below, at, or above the reserve price.

If an auction winner is unable to complete the order it is up to the seller to determine how to proceed with the item listed. It is possible the runner-up bidder or additional losing bidders (consecutively) will be contacted by MLB Auctions or the seller, offering the item at the price of their highest bid amount.

MLB clubs and sellers have the option of enabling a “Second Chance Offer Amount” for each item when listing for auction. The SCO amount is a set price that will be offered to the runner up bidder if the original auction winner cannot complete their order. In the situation where the auction winner cannot complete their order, if the SCO amount is enabled the runner up bidder will be sent a “Second Chance Offer” email giving them the opportunity to purchase the item. If still interested in purchasing, the bidder will then follow the provided instructions to accept the offer and complete the checkout process.

• Seller enables SCO amount for auction item.
• Auction closes and original winner is unable to complete the order.
• Runner-up bidder is automatically sent a Second Chance Offer email from MLB Auctions at the designated SCO amount.
• Bidder follows instructions to accept the offer and complete the checkout process for the purchase.

Go to My Account and select Manage Bidding Activity. From here you can view all live auctions (winning or losing) in which a bid has been placed, as well as closed auctions that you have won.

The Real Time Bid Refresh feature is in place in order to deliver the best possible online auction experience by presenting the most up-to-date auction information, including Auction Time Remaining, Bid Count, and Current Bid Amount. When a new bid is placed or an auction goes in to Bid Extend, the most recent auction information will automatically be presented on the screen without the need to manually refresh the current browser page.

Real Time Bid Refresh is set to automatically deactivate after 12 minutes of inactivity on a page that presents auction data such as Auction Time Remaining, Bid Count, and Current Bid Amount. This is to ensure that, in case an active browser session is forgotten and left open, users do not have fresh data constantly feeding into their active browser session and unnecessarily using up network data. When presented with the message “Real Time Bid Refresh is no long active on the site”, users can choose to click the “Reactivate” button, which will cause the system to resume pushing up-to-date auction data into the active browser session, or users can click “Cancel”, which will prevent Real Time Bid Refresh from reactivating on the current page. Note: if a user chooses to click “Cancel” when presented with this message, they will NOT be shown the most up-to-date auction data, or any new bid activity placed on the listing by other customers. However, manually refreshing the browser window OR clicking through to a new auction page will cause Real Time Bid Refresh to reactivate automatically.

The bid increment is representative of a minimum amount the user can bid but is not restricted to only using that multiple. If interested in placing a bid for more than the bid increment, users have the option to place either a Max Bid (Click 'What Is A Maximum Bid/Automatic Bidding?' under the Bidding headline to learn more) or Straight Bid (if made available for that auction) (Click 'What is straight bidding?' under the Bidding headline to learn more).

Yes, all you need to do is simply log-in (or register) with your MLB.com account to view Buy Now items you have added to your cart.

Yes, the MLB items can be purchased in two formats on the MLB Auctions site – Placing a bid on the online Auction format and Buy Now (direct purchase) checkout format.

A straight bid is a one-time amount that represents the price you are committing to bid. The price that is entered as a straight bid can be any amount that is equal to, or greater than the current amount plus the minimum bid increment.

Once you have successfully activated Text Bidding Here’s how you get started:

Send <Text reference number>;<Bid amount> to 1-989-256-1025 and your bid will be placed.

The auction text reference number can be found on the listing pages. Look for the mobile sign!

Standard text messaging rates apply. Please note, the country of origin for the MLB Auctions response phone number is the United States of America.

Please go to your account section on auctions.mlb.com where you will see the Text Bidding section. Select “Update” and follow the flow on the site in order to complete registration.

Please remember a credit card and approval of the terms and conditions is required for you to bid via text message.

Just like any auction on the auctions.mlb.com site you will be automatically charged the winning amount and sent a text message with your confirmation details.

Beside the listings that are available for Text Bidding on a listing page there will be a field titled “Text Reference Number” and the corresponding text bidding code. The same code will also be available on the product page.

No, currently MLB Auctions is not setup to accept paypal for auction purchases. You still will need a credit card on file to place a bid.

Yes, paypal is accepted for all Buy Now storefront purchases. When PayPal option is selected, users will be redirected to PayPal site and asked to approve the purchase. Once approved, you will be sent back to the order confirmation page to submit your order.

During checkout you will have the option to add paypal as the method of payment instead of a credit card.

Yes, this new feature allows you to add multiple Buy Now items to your shopping cart.

If you purchase more than one Buy Now item from the same team or vendor, your Buy Now items will be combined in one checkout and shipping will be combined as well. Total shipping costs will be recalculated for multiple items if made eligible by the specific seller.

During the checkout process you will only be able to select items from the same team or vendor. Additional items in your cart will have to be processed as a separate transaction and shipping cannot be combined in these cases.

You will receive an order confirmation email that includes all of your order details and you will then also receive a shipping notification email once your order has shipped.

You can locate an auction you have bid on from within the Manage My Bids>View My Bid Status section of My Auction Account section of the auction website, or by entering the listing's listing number, if known from the Search page.

We will notify you by email if you win; although you are responsible for determining if you have won by visiting the site and checking the status of your bid in My Account.

If you are the winning bidder when an auction closes, Major League Baseball Auctions will send you email notification telling you that you have won the item(s).

You are responsible for returning to the Major League Baseball Auctions website to verify that you have won the auction. If you do not receive notice and believe you are the successful bidder, you must verify the auction status from the Manage My Bids>View My Bid Status in the My Auction Account section of the auction website. As a winning bidder, the primary payment card you have on file will be automatically charged the amount of your winning Bid plus any shipping, handling, and applicable taxes.

Please send an email to Customer Service with the item listing number and any additional information you have regarding the order and request the shipping status.

Below are some common reasons for auction items not being delivered or shipped on time:

Invalid Credit Card. Please verify your credit card information by visiting your Auction Account. If your card number is no longer valid or the expiration date has passed please login to your MLB Auctions account and re-enter your credit card information by following the instructions below:

• Select "My Account" on the MLB Auctions home page
• Scroll down and select "Payments"
• Select "Checkout" and re-enter your credit card/billing information
• Confirm Payment

Please Note: In order to successfully checkout for your auction items, the billing address for your credit card must match the billing address entered for your MLB Auctions account. If the billing addresses do NOT match, the transaction may fail at the close of the auction and the order will go unpaid. We cannot guarantee item availability if your card failed to clear after the auction close date.

P.O. Box. If you have designated a P.O. Box in your shipping preferences this could be the reason for the delay as most carriers used my Major League Baseball Auctions and its partners do not deliver to P.O. Boxes.

If payment on an auction order is unsuccessful at the close of the auction, MLB Auctions will reach out to the winning bidder for each day the order remains unpaid and provide instructions for how to update the billing information for your account profile. You will then need to successfully re-checkout and complete the purchase. The order will be automatically canceled if unpaid for 5 days after the close of the auction.

Yes, for certain listings, personalization is available. Listings with this feature will require text to be entered during the checkout flow. MLB does not support any explicit language and as a result has the right to cancel your order.
