If you want to see past auctions, click on your bid number (top right of page).  There is a drop down menu that says "Go to Auctions" , click on that. There is another drop down menu in the middle of page which first displays "current auction"   When you click on that it says “All, Current, Past, or Future Auction”. A future auction would be one that I am working on, but have not made “live” or published until inventory is complete.

How do I view my invoices?

To view all your invoices, you must first be logged in with your bidder number. In upper right corner beside your initials and bid number, there is a drop down menu. Click on arrow button, then click on “View Profile”. a new window will open. In the middle of the page click on “Invoices”. On right hand side where it says “Action”, click on that. You will then download your invoice in the form of pdf file. I would download the summary invoice instead of the detailed (if you want to print it out- if you just want to view invoice- makes no difference which one you download)

There is also a watch list.  You may view items you have bid on or have lost.
