Auctions 14 Nov 2026

The home page auction bar counts down

The bar told you which auction was coming, but not how long you had to wait.

  • A clock now sits on the far right of the bar: Starts in 0:32:25, ticking every second.
  • When bidding opens it switches to Ends in and counts to the close, then the bar goes away.

The auction clock counts down to the start

On an auction that had not opened yet, the big clock was counting down to the END — so it looked like a running sale you had already missed part of.

  • An upcoming auction now shows Starts in 1:24:09 — hours, minutes and seconds — and keeps counting down every second.
  • When the hour arrives it flips to Ends in and counts to the close, then shows the result.
  • A late bid that extends the close moves the clock with it, as before.

The day's auction is announced on the home page all day

The auction bar only appeared five minutes before the bidding started, so for most of the day the home page said nothing about the auction that was coming.

  • The bar across the top of the home page now shows today's auction from the first visit of the day — item, photo, starting price and the hour it opens.
  • In the last five minutes it switches to a live countdown, then to Live auction · this hour only while bidding is open.
  • It disappears the moment the auction closes, and tomorrow's auction never appears early.
  • The reminder popup on other pages still opens five minutes before the start.

My Auctions is now in the menu

Your own booked hours could only be found from the auctions page itself.

  • My Auctions sits directly under Live Auctions in the left column, marked NEW.
  • It shows everything you booked: what is coming, what is live, what sold and what did not sell.
  • From there you can edit an auction, cancel it, or run the same item again in another hour.

Change your auction right up to the start

A wrong model number should not cost you your booked hour.

  • Edit now sits beside Cancel in My Auctions on any auction that has not started yet.
  • You can fix the title, the description, the category, the condition, the photo and the starting price.
  • The day, the hour and the approval stay exactly as booked — saving does not send it back to be checked again.
  • Once an auction is live the wording locks, so nobody can bid on terms that change underneath them.

Send an auction to Facebook, or by email

An auction is the thing people forward to a friend, and there was no button for it.

  • Share on Facebook opens Facebook with the auction already in it — the photo and the details come along.
  • Email opens a message with the item, the opening bid and the link already written for you.
  • Share this auction still uses your phone’s own share sheet, or copies the link on a computer.

Click the seller to see who you are buying from

The name on an auction used to be plain text, so a buyer could not check the person behind the item.

  • The seller’s name — and the card around it — now opens their profile.
  • It works on the auction page itself and on the Live Auctions page once an auction is running.

The auctions page now shows the week ahead

Live Auctions used to open on a bare list of hours. Now it tells you when auctions run and what is coming.

  • The top of the page says the schedule in one line — Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 9 PM — and how many hours are already booked.
  • Each day shows how many auctions it holds, and every booked item shows its photo beside the title, so you can scan the week without opening anything.
  • A Book an hour button sits at the top: it takes you to booking, or to the login page if you are not signed in yet.

Live auctions

A whole new way to sell, alongside the normal listings.

  • List something with a starting price and a closing time.
  • Members bid on it, and the highest bid when it closes wins.
  • A countdown shows how long is left, so nobody misses the end.
