Default Hidden Bids are back!

As a result of your feedback we are reintroducing our Hidden Bid feature.

The Drop.com.au auction platform now hides all bids until more than one bidder is involved in that domain auction.

This has been designed to provide a more even playing field to our customers, by
a) deterring snipe bidding, and
b) alleviating concerns that bidders may have regarding "early" bidding and the subsequent potential to highlight domains to their competitors.

Thanks for your feedback!

Andrew Wright

I liked other people bidding first. Saved me trawling through the list.

Can you show how many bidders are bidding the same way that netfleet does?

Yes - Click on the hammer icon to the left of the domain name and you get the complete bid history for that domain.
