Live Bidding Rooms allow you to participate in an auction in real-time and can be accessed on desktop or mobile. They are available to join 1 hour before an auction event closes and can be accessed on an individual auction event page.
In a Live Bidding Room, you can view the next item closing, watch latest bids on items, place bids, and be notified if you are outbid – all on one central page. As auction items close, the next item in the auction will appear automatically.
To start placing bids within a Live Bidding Room, make sure you are logged in and have an address specified in your account settings.

The minimum bid for an item is always updated in real time. To place a bid, simply click on the bid button. If you want to place a bid higher than the current minimum bid, type in your desired bid amount.
