Customer Guide & Watchlists

Place a bid

1. Sign in to the store’s customer account.
2. Open the auction after its start time.
3. Check the bidding type and amount required by the form.
4. For seated auctions, complete the required participation purchase first.
5. If the store requires a saved Stripe card, add the payment method from My Account.
6. Submit the bid and read the result before retrying.

An accepted bid is not a payment. Proxy bids may represent a private limit, and sealed auctions do not expose competing offers as an ordinary public history.

Watchlists

When Allow watchlists is enabled, customers can follow items using the watchlist link. The store may also show that link in product lists. A watchlist does not submit a bid or reserve an item.

Account preferences

My Account → Auctions settings includes closing-soon email preferences. If the administrator allows live-notification preferences, customers can choose All auctions, Only auctions I participate in, or Off (Disabled).

Customer auction activity and watchlists can also be placed on dedicated pages using the customer shortcodes.

Winning

After a successful result, follow the store’s winner payment link and complete checkout. Contact the store if payment is unavailable or an order already exists; repeated bidding will not complete payment.
