Your dashboard

Signing in lands you on your Overview — the dashboard for your account. It's built to answer, at a glance, the questions that matter most during a sale: am I about to lose something, where do I stand, what do I owe, and can I bid?

What's on it

• Closing soon — a short list of lots you're involved in that are about to close, with your position on each, so anything about to end is right at the top.
• What you owe — a summary of sales you've won and still have to pay for. Just after a sale closes this may be an estimate until your real invoice is raised.
• Open auctions — sales taking bids now, each marked with whether you're registered for it. That's the useful bit: it warns you if the sale closing tonight is one you haven't registered for yet, before you find out the hard way.
• Your bidding status — whether you're clear to bid, and if not, what's left to do (confirm your email, or add a card where a sale requires one).

Getting around your account

Along the top of every account page is a row of tabs, ordered by how often you'll need them during a sale:

• Overview — this dashboard.
• My bids — what you're bidding on right now, plus your full history.
• Watchlist — lots you're keeping an eye on.
• Wins — what you've won.
• My auctions — the sales you're registered for and the terms you accepted.
• Payment methods — cards on file.
• Emails — which notifications you receive.
• Profile — your name, phone, address and password.

Each of these has its own help article in this section. If a page ever seems empty, it usually just means you haven't done that thing yet — a brand-new account starts with nothing on most tabs.
