What’s the difference between a real-time bid and a snipe bid?
Here's how real-time bids and snipe bids differ:
Real-time bids:
- Your bid is placed immediately on the auction once submitted through our system.
- You cannot cancel a real-time bid once it has been placed.
Snipe bids:
- Your bid is automatically placed 2–5 minutes before the scheduled auction end time.
- You can cancel or adjust your bid (raise or lower it) before the actual bid is submitted.
Please note:
In some cases, your snipe bid may not be placed:
1. Another bidder has already placed a higher bid than your maximum.
2. The seller ends the auction earlier than scheduled.
