Each vote you cast will cost you 1 Voting Point, per $500 of the seller's BidoPrice. Remember however that your profits are determined by the sale price. Also remember that any item with a BidoPrice equal to or greater than $10,000 is treated as if it were $10,000 and will only cost 20 Voting Points (1 per $500, with a cap at 20 Voting Points maximum, per vote you cast):

Lets determine how many Voting Points you will need to vote on this item at this BidoPrice.

You would need to cast 1 vote on an item with a BidoPrice of $1000.

Now, lets determine your earnings. Remember that an item only needs 10 votes (but not more) in order to go to auction.
