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.
The cost per vote in voting points may change at any time.

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