What if you have an emergency and you need to stop all bidding from taking place on an auction group? What is the easiest way to do this? Simply update the start time to be a future date for the auction group. That will make all bidding stop immediately on the specified auction group.
- Go into the admin section.
- Click on Edit Auction Groups/Auctions
Select the auction group you wish to adjust.
Click Edit Selected Auction Group
Update the start time and end times to a future date and time.
Click save.
What is next?
Perhaps it would be a good idea to notify all bidders of the change and explain why the auction group bidding is stopped.
