  • Check your internet connection by accessing a Speed Check via https://www.speedcheck.org/ If you do not have a connection, you will not be able to conduct a speed test.
  • Check to make sure the auction is still going on and has not ended on the main bidding page. If the auction is listed as completed, then it is over.
