Frequently Asked Questions

Auctions are organized into dedicated 1-hour rounds across two daily sessions: Morning & Midday (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM) and Evening Prime (4:00 PM – 8:00 PM). Each product is assigned to an hourly slot, during which real-time bidding is active. When the countdown reaches zero, the highest verified bid wins.
