🕰️ How to Set an Item Closing Time
👀 What is the Item Closing Time?
The Item Closing Time is the exact moment when bidding ends for each item. After this time, bidders can no longer place bids on those items. This is especially helpful for managing auction flow and controlling when silent items officially close.
This only updates the item-level closing time. If you need to change the overall auction closing date, please email your Account Manager at help@clickbidonline.com.
