The registration usually does not require any fees, obligatory is only your personal information, your address and your phone number. Then you will be given your bidder number and your password (you can change it, if you like).

Starting bids and bid increments depend on the type of the lot, its lowest possible price and its quality. You should not make bids for fun, if you do not actually intend to buy, because by bidding you show your commitment to buy. Imagine, that your mock-bid wins, will you be able to explain the organizers that you were simply joking?

Another point that can be interesting and important is the method of payment and getting the product. The time which is usually given for payment is fourty eight hours after the auction close. The preferred method is the credit card payment, Bank transfer or bank checks and money orders sent by express mail.

If you fail to pay in time, you can lose your bidding status and the product (wine, in this case). If you want to continue to bid at this or that auction, you will be on the safe side if you try to meet all the payment requirements.

Even if you have no bidding experience at worldwide wine auctions, but you really want to try, then you seem to be ready to make your first bid. You can choose an auction depending on your location or the lots.

If you are ready to take part in an online wine auction then go through the rules mentioned above once again and start with browsing  the Internet and choosing the auction you think is appropriate for you.
