Auction Rules
How bidding works on Domain Auctions
Use this page as the shared reference for buyers who want to understand the auction flow before placing a maximum bid.
Step 1
Browse live listings
Start in the public marketplace and open a listing marked live or scheduled. The header links you to Marketplace, Sold, and this rules page from anywhere in the app.
Step 2
Use proxy bidding
Enter your maximum bid once. The system will increment for you up to that ceiling, so you do not need to keep manually raising your bid.
Step 3
Watch the countdown
Auctions show a live timer and may extend near the close if new bids arrive. That keeps last-minute bidding fair and visible.
Step 4
Review the result
When an auction closes, the sold feed and buyer dashboard show the outcome so you can review what happened without searching through the live room again.
