How Do I See Or Set My Own Bid Increments?

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.

Understanding Our Default Bid Increments

The intensity of an auction can vary based on the current bid amount. To facilitate smooth bidding, our platform uses default bid increments that escalate as the bid value rises. This strategy ensures that bidding remains dynamic and competitive, especially for high-value items.

Here’s a breakdown of our default bid increments:

Current Bid Range	Increment Amount
$1.00 – $10.00	$3.00
$11.00 – $50.00	$5.00
$51.00 – $100.00	$10.00
$101.00 – $500.00	$25.00
$501.00 – $1,000.00	$50.00
$1,001.00 – $5,000.00	$100.00
$5,001.00 – $10,000.00	$250.00
$10,001.00 and above	$500.00

It’s always essential to be aware of these increments when planning your bids. They guide the progression of the auction and influence your bidding strategy.
