Registering with an Auction Site
Before you can perform specific user tasks, such as bidding on items, you must register and log on to the auction site.
Registration is a one-time process that allows you to place bids at an auction site. Although you can browse auction catalogs without registering, you must register to place bids. In addition, if you specify that you want to register as a lister, you can post items in an auction.
NOTE: For more information about registering as a general user of Siebel, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.
