Choose lots for a strategy
Sign in and use Add to strategy on eligible open timed lots in the catalog, your watchlist, or Bids. Choose lots from one auction, then open Review strategy or Build a strategy in Bids. Your selection is saved for your account in this browser; selecting lots alone does not place bids or create a strategy.
Choose a rule and create the strategy
Review the selected lots and rule before choosing Create strategy. Place bids or max bids on those lots as usual; creating the rule does not submit a bid. Registration, approval, and escrow requirements still apply, and a strategy does not guarantee a win.
- Win one stops the strategy after your first win among the selected lots.
- Win up to a limit stops the strategy after the number of wins you choose.
- Stay under a budget limits the hammer-price amount committed across the strategy's lots. Buyer's premium, tax, and other invoice charges are additional.
Check the budget and make changes
In Bids, review each strategy's status, included lots, and wins. A budget strategy shows Budget committed and the amount left against your hammer-price cap. Use Edit on an active strategy to change its name or available limit, then Save changes. A budget cannot be reduced below the amount already committed.
Cancel a strategy
Choose Cancel strategy and review the confirmation. Cancellation removes the strategy's rule; existing bids, wins, and active max bids remain in place. Those max bids can continue competing, and your escrow must cover them without the strategy's limits.
