Start a New Auction Turn

Important: Starting a new turn ends the current turn immediately. The next round starts the bidding at the top of the bidder’s list with new auction item quantities. Be sure this is the desired effect, because bidders who have not had an opportunity to bid will be locked out of the last round and will not have the ability to bid on auction items from the previous turn.

For example, suppose that a bidder can only place three bids each turn for a total of six bids in two turns. If a new turn starts before the bidder has the opportunity to bid on the three items, only three items will be allowed the next round not six.

To start a new turn or round in Bidding:

  1. Go to the Manage area of the applicable Auction.
  2. Click the applicable Auction to start a new turn.
  3. Click Auction again to show the Start new turn function.
  4. Click Start new turn.
  5. Review the confirmation screen, and proceed as desired.
