Bidding Methods and Rules
1. Instant Bid
2. Last-Minute Bid
3. Buy It Now
4. Auto Extension
5. Sellers with Rating Below 98%
1. Instant Bid
The "Maximum Bid" amount you enter is your upper bid limit. The system will never bid more than your set maximum.
The system will bid on your behalf at the current price plus the specified bid increment, attempting to win at the lowest possible price.
The maximum bid you enter will only be used automatically if other bidders bid very close to that amount.
2. Last-Minute Bid
This means the system will automatically place a bid for you 360–480 seconds before the auction ends.
3. Buy It Now
You can purchase the item directly at the price stated on the product page, without waiting for the auction to end.
4. Auto Extension
If a buyer bids within the last 5 minutes before the auction ends, the closing time will automatically extend by 5 minutes.
Example: If a bid is placed when 1 minute remains, the closing time will automatically reset to 6 minutes remaining.
5. Sellers with Rating Below 98%
If the seller's rating is 98% or below, they may not be a trustworthy seller. You may still choose to bid, but they are not covered under the Four Major Guarantees. Please confirm carefully before bidding.
