Is it possible to test it without having a successful bid charge on your card?
Sure, just bid an obscenely low amount for a 1-night stay at a 4* hotel in your hometown (eg $25). You won't win but you'll get a feel for how the process works. Winning is just the same as losing, except you find out the name of the hotel at the end along with your confirmation number.
On the bizarre off-chance you do win, hey, you'll get to spend a night on the town for $25.
