Bid on my elephant!

[Umbran]

It must be because I'm not seeing a button that allows me to place a bid.

When I go to the item itself, I see something like the image here. There's a form field for your bid. Is that not what you see?

agreed, EN Marketplace does seem more natural, therefore gets my vote.

As for your elephant, I don't want it and you can't make me!
Now, superpower for a talking fish is pure awesome!

I posted this in the elephant bid page comments as well:

When I placed it bid, the bid price was changed to my new offer, but the high bidder was still listed as Ginnel, as it was when I first opened the page.

Yeah, I don't have the field to enter a price for a bid. I wonder if any other Staffers have the same problem?

Okay, so I thought I'd try the Buy It Now option to see what happens when you win. It seems to be working fine.

At this point, I would click the Paypal button to buy it, and it would be done? Also, will there be non-Paypal options?

How about now?

How about now?

Yep, working fine now.

Would you mind moving the marketplace box under the Reply button? It's annoying to have to scroll past the marketplace box every time.

Just a note - I deleted all the fake auctions. The marketplace is now live, and the Marketplace forum has been closed for new threads (you can still post in currently existing threads there: you just can't start a new thread).

That's how it's supposed to work. Ginnel bid more than you did originally, so when you bid it upped his bid to beat yours. I'm guessing the bid price was acutally one "increment" (probably $0.05) higher than yours. That's how eBay works, at least.
