• The length of time a lot is open for bidding depends on the auctioneer and can vary, so it is difficult to specify exactly.
• Alerts, such as a bell or a countdown timer, notify users when bidding is about to end.
• It’s best to avoid bidding at the last moment, as this may result in the bid not being registered or the auction closing before it is accepted.

There is no set amount of time for bidding on a given lot, as it mostly depends on how the auctioneer runs the auction. It is a good idea to watch for warning signals in the bidding window – they’re there to let the users know when bidding on the current lot is about to close.

For art auctions, it’s usually a bell that appears in the lower-left corner of the screen. It signals that bidding on this item could end at any moment.

In numismatic, bibliophilic, and certain art auctions, a counter is displayed, counting: 1, 2, 3, which corresponds to the announcements: first time, second time, and third time.

It is good practice to place your incremental bids in a timely manner. Waiting until the last moment to bid may result in your submission reaching the organizer too late, another offer being accepted, or the auction for that lot closing.
