I tried it, and the minimum bid is 50 cents, which is 50 cents more than I'm willing to pay, so it's not "free".

We make people check out at PayPal when they bid, so that we can automatically charge them later. If there are less than 11 bids when midnight ET rolls around, we never send that charge. I take it that we should word that more clearly on the bidding form instructions?

There's no way I'm going to go through all that and trust you to make it 'free', when, to be very blunt, it's barely worth my time in the first place. If I want to add links somewhere, I'll go comment on popular blogs.

Usually people use the word "automagically" to refer to something that the audience would be excited about.
