Can anyone explain how the "Chat" auction works. Do you just get in the right chat room and post your bid when the Lot is mentioned by the auctioneer? Will the French be using increments of 5 euro?

Please give me a step by step. Thanks

Get a BigPumpkins membership.
Enter chat room at time of auction.
Lots will be listed one at a time, bid on lot in chat room.
European auctions are all in Euro, 5 Euro increments.
If there is more than on set of seeds in the lot, the highest bidder will be able to buy 1,2,3 lots.
If They buy one lot the next bidder gets the second lot and so on.
Immediately or by the end of auction email club all your information and make a PayPal payment in Euro to club.

No underbidding. 1se person to post the bid is the person that has that price.
On mutiple Lot sets if there is a $20 bid followed by a $30 bid you cannot bid @25 after the $30 bid as it does not count. On multiple Lot sets pay attention as they will ask winner "how many sets" and runner ups get asked same question.
Try not to chat during the auction unless necessary{ you will see people helping by pointing out errors occassionally. That is fine)
If you win do not type 1 or 2 but type one or two. (it is okay to enter 1 or 2 with something like thanks or ty and then the answer will post)
Pay attention, pay attention and pay attention!!!

Feel free to ask more questions to help clarify things and if possible watch a few auctions to get the gist of things. It really is not hard just something new to you.

Be sure to read VERY CAREFULLY each auction's rules, terms, and conditions, first and foremost.

If you're worried about Euro payments just look up and write down a few conversion rates before the auction 50 eur = 56.53 USD

Just don't START your bidding with most of all you've got, 'cause that defeats the purpose of an auction for you---eg
