The commenters above are right, verifying your account will help members trust you as a new member, and they'll bid a lot higher. If you're using the phone app it's a bit harder but if you log in on a computer it's easy to take care of in a minute or two. It's definitely a cool first auction and if you get verified you'll get a lot more points so it's worth your time to do it. I know this auction only has a day left, but still, if you verify your account at some point before the auction's over I guarantee the points will boost up in the last couple hours for sure. Good luck!
You can't get verified on the app. If you don't have access to a computer, go to the actual listia site using your internet browser, log in, and on the main page scroll down a bit and there should be a link down the left side that says something like "verify your account." Hit that, follow the quick instructions and you're done in about two minutes at most. Hope that helps your question about how to get verified on a phone. :)
