Why did an auction pause?
Why did an auction pause?
Bidd66.com reserves the right to pause an auction at any time for any reason. Reasons for an auction pause may include:
• Upgrades are being made to the Bidd66.com site.
• The timer on that auction is being lowered.
• Bidd66.com discovers that users are cooperating or cheating to win a product.
• Bid66.com pauses the site for the night (please check rotating banner for hours of operation).
What is a "Tick-Timer"?
Every auction has a Tick-Timer; for example, 3 minutes. Every bid placed resets the Tick-Timer automatically. The auction ends when no one places a new bid and the timer runs out.
Why do timers pause?
Timers pause so that we can lower them on auctions to surprise you and to keep things interesting. Before an item timer is paused, we announce in the chat room which item will be paused and what the new timer will be. We do not know well in advance which timer will be paused, so please do not contact Bid66.com for this information.
How long do I have to pay for the auction?
You have 7 days to complete payment from the time the auction is closed. If payment is not completed and other arrangements have not been made with Bidd66.com, we reserve the right to re-list the item without prior notice.
How long does the auction last?
The auction duration is determined by the bidders. Every bid placed resets the auction to the posted timer countdown.
