Start a New Auction Turn

Important: Starting a new turn ends the current turn immediately and 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:

  1. Go to the Bidding area.
  2. Go to the Manage area of the applicable Auction.
  3. Click the target ‘Auction’ link to start a new turn.
  4. In the Auction Item pane, click the Auction drop-down box to show the Start new turn option.
  5. Click Start new turn.
  6. Review the confirmation screen and proceed as desired.
