I started searching the "how to" question, but it seems like every subject gets lost in non relevant posts.

I am new to auctions and have questions on the following items:

1 - I bid on some items and won. How do I know when the items go to my inventory and if the $$ is taken from my account?

2 - I sold some items, same questions as above: where does it show the money coming into my account?

It would be great if people followed the rules and didn't get carried away on the posts, just saying.

Thanks for any help.

Hi there,
Most of the time the items you won, go into your inventory as soon as you've won them. Same as if you used the buy it now option. It says it can take up to 30 minutes, but mine are always there right away. When you bid, the money comes out right then. If you lose, it automatically goes back into your account.

When you have sold something, click on the little gavel icon and it will show you how much it sold for. If it didn't sell, you will see that as well. The money automatically goes into your account.
Hope this helped you.

If you bid on an item and win you will get the item . it might not be there right away .

And the same goes with money if someone buys your item it might take some time for you to get money . i think they shortented the time . or maybe got rid of it .

The auction house is a great feature.
