For greater control over your auction items bidding process, you can customize bid increments per item.
Below are the steps to customize your bid increments:
Step 1) Access the “Add/Edit Items” page whether you’re listing a new item or modifying an existing one.
Step 2) Scroll through the item’s Advanced Features until you find the “Custom Bid Increments” section > check the box and enter your preferred increment.
Step 3) Click “Save”
Note: If you choose not to set a custom increment, our system will automatically default to the established bid increment structure.
