Extra options: Minimum Starting Bid

Under the extra options menu, you can input a starting bid.

Minimum Starting Bid

By setting a minimum starting bid for all lots, sellers are saying that, instead of defaulting to a $0 opening, all items will default to whatever value is placed in this field. 

If a seller sets a $5 starting minimum on all items: 

  • You can still start individual items at a higher value.
  • You can NOT set a lower value than the $5, since it's a minimum starting price. 

Sometimes starting bids work, sometimes they don't. For new sellers, this might involve a bit of trial and error.
