If the Auto-bid is not surpassed, and the minimum price has been met, then the Auto-bidder has won the auction. All bidders can use the Auto-bid feature.
Auto Bids is marked with (A)
Example:
How Auto Bid works
You make an Auto Bid on a product with a minimum price of DKK 5,000.-
- If you make an Auto Bid on DKK 4,000.- (below the minimum price), then within short time the bid will rise from the starting point to DKK 4,000.-
- If you submit an Auto Bid on DKK 10,000.- then the bid within a short time will rise from the starting point at the minimum price DKK 5,000.-, after which the price will rise (when others bid) on the object with " the bid increase " up to DKK10,000.-
- Had another Bidder, at an earlier stage, put an Auto Bid at exactly the same amount, it is the first Bidder that wins the auction, if the Auto Bid is highest at the end of the auction.
- If the Auto Bid is outbid, you will receive an email with this information, (this feature can be disabled in the "auction E-mail settings" under "My Account").
- Note: You can only be added a new auto-bid when another bidder has bid or the first auto bid is outbid by other bidders.
24. The auction does not stop at first announced auction expiration time?
What you are experiencing is competition just before the auction end. The system is designed in a way, so that a new higher bid extends the auction for further 10 minutes, so that everyone has time to bid again. The auction closes when the highest bid (above the minimum price) has not been static surpassed for 10 minutes.
25. Is Commission fee a flat rate?
Buyer commission fairly decreases in relation to revenue, spanning from 20% - 5% Domestic buyers (Danish Businesses) always pay VAT on commission.
