How to use variable closing speeds in an auction

You can enable Variable Closing Speeds on a per-auction basis via Auction Settings.

Here's how: Set up your timed auction as usual. You will find the variable closing speed settings among the traditional closing settings under "Timed Auctions."

Variable closing speeds require a default closing speed to be added prior to setting up the ranges of variable closing. Any lots not in the ranges set up will adhere to these settings.

• Assign a "Closing Speed - Lots."

• Configure a standard "Closing Speed - Seconds."

Optional: Configure a standard "Auto-extend by seconds."

Next, enable the ability to create variable closing ranges by checking the "Enable variable closing speed" checkbox.

Add your first range of variable closing by clicking on "Create a new Variable closing speed range."

• Set a start lot position range via the "Range Start" field.

• Configure the end of the range via "Range End" field.

• The closing speed assigned will only apply to the range configured.

To add another range, click "Create a new Variable closing speed range." Set up the new range like the other.

Make sure the start does not conflict with the previously-created range(s). The next "Range Start" does not need to begin immediately after the former.

When you're done, save the auction settings as usual.
