Hi, Well First of All.... Everyone on here has been there.....so, it's not you....:)......You auction off (or buy credits) to bid on items....when you bid, say 500 credits...it deducts the 500 credits from your balance....when the auction is over and if you lose (or if someone bids more than you while the auction is still going on) you get your credits back... of course when you win...the person doing the auction gets your credits...and you get the item. ...so remember....if there's a 10 day auction say, and you bid 500 credits, if no one outbids you....your credits will be tied up for the 10 days...and it doesn't mean your going to win the auction or not....you could still lose in the end .(and again, they will give you back your credits) it's not good to bid to far ahead of time unless you have a lot of credits and having some of them tied up don't matter.....because if you have just a small amount and bid to early, you may run across another item you like more but lose out on because your credits are tied up....Okay, I yapped enough...hope I helped.....have a nice evening my pretty one....:)...........Jim
