About bidding types

　Win Now for Buyout Price 

      This is the amount at which you can win the auction immediately if you place a bid at the specified price.

　   You can purchase the item on the spot without waiting for the auction to end.

　　 * "Win Now for Buyout Price" is only displayed when the seller has set a buyout price.
　　    Once a bid is made at the Buy It Now price, the auction will end.

　Auto-bidding This function automatically repeats bidding by inputting a budget limit (= maximum bid amount) in advance.

　How automated bidding works:

　  1.You will automatically bid up to the maximum amount set in auto bidding against the current price.

　  2.Even if other bidders appear, you will automatically bid again until your maximum bid amount is reached.

　  3.The bidder who ultimately set the highest maximum bid amount will be the successful bidder.

　  4.However, the actual amount paid will be the second highest bid amount + bid increment (= second price method).

　　 *Second price method 

          The actual successful bid price (amount paid) is the “second highest bid” plus the “bidding increment (bidding range).

　　 　(Example) Person A: Maximum bid 200,000 yen (set by automatic bidding)

　       　        Person B: Highest bid: 160,000 yen

           　        Bid increment (bidding range): 1,000 yen

　　　 In this case, Mr. A will be the successful bidder, but the actual payment amount will be 161,000 yen (not the full 200,000 yen).

　　*Sniping Bid – A feature that automatically places a bid approximately five minutes before the auction ends. 

　　  By waiting until the end of the auction to place a bid, you can avoid competition with other bidders and increase your chances of winning. 

　　  As with regular bidding, enter your desired amount in the "Bid Price" field and click "Sniping Bid."

Advantages of Sniping Bid:
-Free to use (※Regular proxy purchase fees and item costs apply if you win the auction)
-Can be used together with regular bids on the same item

Sniping Bids will be considered invalid (treated as canceled) in the following situations:

 1. A higher bid than your set sniping amount is placed before yours

 2. The seller deletes or withdraws the item

 3. If a Sniping Bid is scheduled within the final 5 minutes of the auction, it may not be submitted in time due to system constraints

　In the case of an auction where multiple items are listed

      If there are two or more items for one listing, you can specify "bidding conditions".

　  Depending on your preference, you can choose one of the following

　　 -Bid even if quantity is small 

　   　　 > Choose this if you don't want to win the bid unless you can get all the items you want.

　　 -Cancel if not available

　  　　  > Select this option if you want to purchase as much as you can, even if you don't have the amount you want.
