When accessing the Military Surplus first thing you wil notice is accross the bottom there are various tabs. One for purchasing items, creating auctions, your auctions, your bids, and a tab for recieved items.

Let's start by looking at the purchase items tab. You can search for items very quickly based on partial search name as well as the kind of item you are searching for and even the rarity of the item. Level ranges can also be specified and with a combination you can search for Level 32-32, Experimental, Injection Guns, "Cryo" and get a suitable listing of what you're looking for. People selling items can sell things for simple buyout which you purchase using the buyout item button or if it's a bidding auction you can use the place bid button to place a bid. If it's a bidding auction any placed bids are visible on your bids tab.

Next let's look at the create auctions tab. When placing an auction you'll notice there are tabs on the right side of the interface just like in the backpack for equiptment, consumables, crafting, and misc. When you goto one of these tabs it lists all items of that kind in your inventory and to sell and item, simply click on it on the right side of the sale window, enter in a buyout price, and click create auction. Buyouts are required and setting up bidding on the item is optional. If you want your auction to be a "bidding auction" enter a bidding value in the optional minimum bid box.

Auctions can be placed in the Military Surplus for anywhere between 12 hours to 3 days. A listing fee deposit is applied based on the time you put the item on sale and the price you sell the item for. Thankfully the AFS is generous and if you put an item up for auction for 3 days and it sells in 5 minutes the majority of your listing fee will be returned to you because the cost of selling your product was low due to it's fast selling time. There is also the option to do a compare search for similar items in the surplus, but this appears to not be working at this time.

All auctions you put up will be listed on the My Auctions tab.

When auctions sell, expire, or you buy items in the Military Surplus, all items will be on the Recieved Items tab. Here you can take out the items into your backpack. All clones have access to a shared surplus account similar to the footlockers within the AFS. When you recieve credits from the military surplus you will be given a credit voucher in your Misc inventory which you have to claim to recieve the credits (right click).
