Anti-snipe and closing the auction

What the anti-snipe setting does, and the buttons that close the auction and settle winners.

Anti-snipe extends an item's close time when a bid lands near the end, so nobody loses by a moment. Then you close the auction and settle winners with a few buttons.

Overview

The setting is under Settings, in the auction options: Extend auction on last-minute bids (anti-snipe), an Extension window (minutes), and Maximum extensions. It only applies to an item that has a close time stored. Closing from the dashboard is manual.

Close and settle

  1. On the Auction page, click Close & set winners when bidding ends.
  2. Card settlement is not available yet. Collect each winning bid yourself (cash, check or your own payment link).
  3. Click Mark paid on the item when the winner has paid.

For the full steps and tips, see Auction close and settlement.
