You'll see a Pay Now button - if you click that, it's fairly straightforward.

I'm still the highest bidder and only 40 or so minutes left. :eek:

you will find that most bids will come in the last 30 seconds or so before close....some people even use automated snipe programmes to bid for them about 8 seconds before close....

Generally speaking, best advice is to 'bid late, bid your max'

That way you'll know that anyone who beats you was prepared to pay more than you were. So no biggie - it wasn't the bargain you hoped for!

Also, you don't artificially inflate the price early on by showing your hand early.
