salaams,
there is an online auction which i have been viewing recently, however, in order to bid on items in this auction, you need to buy bids which is at a fixed price, eg: 20 bids cost R100. once bids are bought, you can then bid on any item at a cost of 1 bid, but like in every other auction, there is no gaurantee that one will win the auction. is this a form of gambling?
