2. Hidden Bids
For bidders in expiring or drop domain auctions it has always been a concern that an early bid may “flag” a domain as being of value and highlight that domain to a competitor. The new platform hides all bids unless you are actively involved in that domain auction.
You’ll be able to see bids on a domain auction if after placing a bid, your bid is either the highest bid, or increases the previous bid if a proxy bid is in place. If your bid is below the current bid you will be notified that your bid is too low.
