Procedure

You can edit the minimum and maximum bid improvement values in the Preview, Pre-bid, or Open phase of an auction. To edit these values, you must first suspend bidding activity. You can access the pricing information from the Price View of the Line Items page or in the Edit Line Item page for individual line items.

To edit the minimum or maximum bid improvement:

  1. On the Bidders page, suspend bidding activity by suspending all bidders.

  2. On the Line Items page, select Price View from the drop-down list or select Edit in the toolbar for the line item to edit.

  3. Under Bid Improvement or Unit Bid Improvement, edit fields as needed. For details, see Line Items in Auctions.

  4. Save your changes.

  5. Unsuspend bidding activity by reinstating all bidders, including the newly added ones.

Note Note

Bidders are notified by e-mail about any change to the minimum bid improvement. They are not notified about changes to the maximum bid improvement, but will see an error message if they place bids that exceed its new value.

End of the note.
