There are many different categories that you can list your item under. Putting your auction in a category helps potential buyers find it when they are searching. Choose the most appropriate category for your item.

The city where your item is currently located. For example, you might live in Vancouver but also have a home in Seattle. If you are selling something from your home in Seattle, you enter Seattle, not Vancouver.

The country where the item is.

The denomination of money that your auction will be in. The currency does not have to be the same as your country's currency.For example, you may choose the US Dollar eventhough you live in Canada, or elsewhere.

The most you are willing to pay for an item. When you are bidding, you enter the maximum amount you will pay for that item. YNotBid will bid on their behalf up to your maximum bid. For example, suppose the current bid is $50 and the bid increment is $10. The next bid will be $60 ($50 +$10 = $60). If a bidder is willing to pay $100, the bidder enters $100. Their bid will only be $60 because that is the next bid, however if another member outbids their $60 bid (by bidding $70 or more), YNotBid will bid for the first bidder again, up to the $100 maximum bid.
