We now offer a new type of auction, which means that at a certain point in time, our auctions will become closed to new bidders. This means that just those who have placed at least one bid on the auction can continue to bid - giving our bidders a higher chance of winning and ensuring things heat up a bit. ProtoPenny reserves the right to choose when the closing point for each auction is, which is why we cannot let you know beforehand at which point auctions will become closed to new users. This new function will make our auctions more exciting, and subsequently offers you better chances of winning our auctions.

What should I bear in mind?

If you have booked a T-matics to bid on the auction and the auction becomes a 'closed' auction before your T-matics minimum price is reached, the bids will be returned to your account if you've not yet placed any other bids on this auction. If you have not placed any bids on the auction at the point when the auction becomes closed, you will not be able to take part in the auction.
