* **Confirm your bids:** Submit your bids and accept the transaction requests from your wallet. *Once you have confirmed your bids they cannot be changed or cancelled*. \
  \
  If you are outbid your bidding currency will be refunded.\
  \
  If there's a bid fee (variable and separate to the amount you are bidding on the auction) it will not be refunded unless stated. *Any bid fee will be highlighted. Bid fee's are normally around 0.01SOL per bid, auction dependent.* \
  \
  **Unless you are outbid, you will pay the price you bid for the NFT/s. So choose your bid price carefully.**

### 3) Whitelist Phase - (If the auction has one)

* **Whitelist phase:** If there's a whitelist phase, only whitelisted wallets for that mint can participate.&#x20;
* Whitelist bids have priority over public bids. The lowest value bids from the public phase will be replaced by whitelisted wallets bids.
* There are two methods of WL pricing (all WL wallets will be offered the same price):
  * Dynamic whitelist price: The whitelist price is set to the price of the lowest successful public bid.
  * Fixed whitelist price: The price is set by the collection.

### 4) Distribution Phase

* **Receive your NFT or prize:** Once all phases are completed, successful bidders will receive their NFT or prizes. Any non-successful bidders will have had there bids refunded.
