I did not get my registration confirmation? What do I do?
You must place auctioneer@TexasBid.com on your "white list" or "Safe Sender's List" in your email viewer (like: Outlook, Earthlink, Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc...) due to some restrictions on mail servers to avoid spam.

How do I pay for my purchases?
After the conclusion of the auction, about an hour after all items have ended, go to your "My Account" section and click on "My Invoices".
Just click on the invoice for that day and your invoice will appear. You may pay online with Mastercard, Visa, Discover & American Express.
If you are pre-approved for a check or are paying cash, you "may" be able to pay in person. Again, please read the auction terms & conditions. Some auctions are credit card only.
